Don't know how realistic this is but it sure sounds good.

Is Trump Intentionally Crashing the Stock Market? Yes, and It’s All Part of His Brilliant Plan

<snip>


...Let’s break this down. The video lays it out like this: Trump is flooding cash into US Treasuries. That move forces the Federal Reserve Bank to lower interest rates in May. Lower rates mean the government can refinance trillions in debt on the cheap. The dollar weakens, mortgage rates drop, and suddenly refinancing looks as sexy as a tax refund.

They even call it “a wild chess move”—which is honestly the most polite way anyone’s described a market plunge in years.

And the tariff plan? Get ready for this. The video claims it’s a “genius play” because it pressures companies to manufacture in the US again. Plus, it makes farmers sell their stuff locally, which is going to lower grocery prices. Eggs were the chosen poster child for this one. The libnuts started screaming egg prices were still up only days after Trump was sworn in. Not a good look for the party unless they wanted to look dumb. Yep—cheap eggs, guys, thanks to Trump.

And just to really stick it to the elites: “94% of all stocks are owned only by 8% of Americans.” So if the market goes down? That’s a Gucci-level problem. According to the video, Trump is “taking from the rich short-term and handing it to the middle class through lower prices.” He’s Robin Hood with a red tie.

Here’s the method to the madness: tank the market, spook investors, and send them running into the warm, safe arms of US Treasury bonds. The Fed reacts by lowering interest rates (as they do), and boom—President Trump gets to refinance the US national debt like it’s a Black Friday sale.

And here’s the best part: the Fed is already in the middle of a massive refinance operation. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe this is all part of the Trump Economy Universe—Phase II.

Let’s talk about the ugly truth about the debt. Right now, the U.S. spends more money on interest payments than on anything else. [See chart above] Think of it as maxing out a credit card and then paying just the interest… forever. That’s what the Democrats and the establishment RINOs have given us after decades of irresponsible spending.

Trump’s apparent realization? If he can get those interest rates down, he can cut hundreds of billions from the annual federal budget. That’s not small potatoes.

We’re talking about a $1.9 trillion deficit every year. If Trump manages to refinance and shave off just 25% of that, we’re saving over $400 billion annually. That’s your money back, not going to line the pockets of bondholders in Davos. Inflation drops, the budget breathes, and maybe—just maybe—gas prices won’t look like your college tuition anymore.

So, who actually owns the stock market? According to Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “The top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities. The next 40% owns 12% of the stock market. The bottom 50% has debt—credit card bills, rent, auto loans—and we’ve got to give them some relief.”

Bottom line? The people sipping champagne on yachts are panicking. The rest of us? Not so much. The theory is simple: rich folks take a temporary hit, while the middle and lower classes get long-term benefits. Again, that’s the plan. No promises about the execution. Remember, we have a political party that is totally dedicated to taking Trump down, even if it means taking you down with it.

And then there’s the hot-button issue of tariffs. Secretary Bessent hits us with some logic-flavored sass: “If tariffs are so bad, why do they [other countries] have them? Or if the American consumer is going to pay all the tariffs, then why do they care about tariffs?”

Solid point. If other countries hate US tariffs so much, maybe it’s because they’re working. Maybe tariffs aren’t the villain—they’re more like the bouncer at the door of Club America.

Tariffs hurt the globalist elite more than they hurt Joe and Jane Taxpayer. For decades, these multinational elites have been trying to bleed America dry. Trump saw the wealth drain, and he yanked the plug.

The takeaway? This is exactly what voters signed up for. While the left is busy wringing their hands and forecasting doom, Trump’s team is calm, collected, and steering the ship. His economic game plan? Aggressive. Borderline crazy. And somehow… it’s working.

The closing line of the video says it all: “Is this what you voted for?”
The answer from supporters? “Yes, this is exactly why we voted for President Trump. We are getting exactly what we wanted.”
