That's a conspiracy I've yet to hear.
He says it himself! His role its to induce "healthy" unemployment.

#134And of course equity futures immediately dropped on the news
Guarantee there are dozens if not more in the admin insider trading like they have on so many announcements. Market manipulation right out in the open.
The slimiest swampiest criminals, they need to be put on trial.

#137Holy shit. So our monetary policy will be just set at the arbitrary whims of the president if this new scheme works. Why does all of this feel like it's just sliding completely out of hand? Am I just being a doomer?
The only reasonable conclusion at this point is that the fascists in the white house see their deep unpopularity, obvious loss of power in the near future (they have lost nearly every election in the past year by a landslide), and the Epstein files closing in. The obvious outcome will be at minimum jail and ridicule due to their continuous and obvious corruption, high crimes and misdemeanors like invading Venezuela, trying to invade Greenland, and sexual crimes against children. So they have to accelerate chaos to try and destroy law and order before it catches up with them and destroys them.
Its time to put up or get put down by masked goons.

Yes. His statement is firm and well articulated. I have nothing bad to say about the man right now
I have bad things to say about him. But they're firmly on pause. What Trump wants for the Federal Reserve is far worse. And anyone who is a hard-currency quantity-theory-of-money conservative, should also be appalled by it. Trump is way worse than what the harshest critics of the Federal Reserve think about it. Nobody right or left should support it. Only the billionaires will profit off the monetary disorder.

Maybe not even them. Certainly not all of them.

Far too many people decide to occupy the us vs. them part of their brain with National politics as opposed to sports. Both are basically useless as it relates to your personal quality of life but at least with the latter you can see nice geometric combinations between players on a pitch and some incredible athleticism in between
The issue being that one actually impacts your life and the other is a spectacle.
