Crash the economy now so it can be humming by the mid-term elections. Blame everything that goes bad on Biden. Wages will be lowered, the people with wealth and in the know will buy assets on the cheap. As far as helping out the little guy, there will be words, but I suspect little effective action. A significant middle class is essential for a healthy society, but I don't think that that resonates with the new swamp.
Pomp, Being a Trump voter x 3, I sincerely hope that there is plan. I may be less informed about economy than you are, but I am much better informed about russia Ukraine war, hailing from Ukraine and having lived in Russia for many years and following events daily. I also have family living under daily ( literally ) bombardments. I can tell you, that despite all the hoopla and chest thumping, administration has no plan for peace. First, we were told that there is a plan, that will be revealed after elections. Elections came and went, no plan was announced. Then, there were several announcements that the plan is coming and being actively negotiated. There were meetings with russians and various intermediaries, likely to make the "plan" work. Then, Zelensky came and "The Plan" turned out to be very beautifully simple: Ukraine should capitulate... Oh, what a strike of genius! Make the rape victim acknowledge equal responsibility for the rape, embrace the rapist, disarm, forgo reparations for all the destruction, place a puppet government vetted by kremlin, divide the country in 3 regions, and be grateful to Don Corleone for all his help making this happen. By the way, I am citing the real plan as was voiced by many russian officials including putin on numerous occasions. When Zelensky refused to capitulate, debacle "plan" was set into motion with JD Vance and other willing participants. Zelensky was smeared, and had to defend his stance as a Commander in Chief. On that day, there were over 100 russian attacks that Ukranian armed forces had to deal with. Over 150 drones were sent to bomb and maim Urkranian cities, killing civilians, children, elderly. Imagine how this White House ambush looks like to the soldiers fighting the war and the people who suffer daily for 3 years now! Zelensky brought photos of Ukranian soldiers from russian concentration camps, photos of families murdered, cities destroyed to the ground. One can see no empathy from the White House team in the video of the meeting.
Now we have sycophants demanding Zelensky to resign for refusing to capitulate. The so called rare earth mineral deal is a smoke screen for the uninformed. Ukraine has only scant number of rare earth minerals. Most of them are on the Russia occupied lands that administration wants to "gift" to "nice guy and a friend" putin to mine with America (apparently this was a part of "negotiations for peace"). Only pesky Zelensky for some odd reason does not find this plan "brilliant". And because he is inconvenient, "he needs to go", despite having about 57% support of the ukranian people, and Ukranian constitution specifically prohibits any elections during the war. By the way, no one called Churchill "dictator" during WWII, although there were no elections held in UK between 1935 and 1945. Please check for yourself if you are interested.
If the plan for economy is similar to the plan for ending the war by forcing the victim to capitulate and recycling Putin's tropes ( "Kiev will fall in 3 days", "Zelensky is drug addicted jewish nazi", "Ukraine is a US puppet", the list can go on), I slowly come to realization that the plan for economy is likely similar to the "plan for peace", that is - it does not exist. I hope I am wrong, but it is very painful to hear smears and lies against the country and its leader who is standing tall and defiant in the face of blood thirsty tyrant and useful idiots in the West. Sorry for the long and winded comment, but the heartache is real and people are dying daily.
Trump will not make public a coherent plan because the deep state and Wall Street will have time to counter every step. Better to make it look like it's coming from all directions. Lessons learned from his first time at the helm of state. Go fast and go for broke before the Republicans lose their nerve and the Dems figure out what's really happening. Trump and his people are not trying to destroy the economy in the near term, rather they're trying to reshape it so that government isn't 30% of GDP and competing with industry for capital. Government spending does not create wealth, only redistributes existing wealth with the added burden of inefficient and corrupted administration. Unfortunately, this requires blunt force and speed. Hopefully, Trump's strategy is allowed to play out fully.
I'm starting to call this the Lithium Economy. Isn't that what they give people for bipolar disorder and manic-depression? One day, everything is great and crypto is going to the moon. The next day, everything is crashing. One day, we have peace in Ukraine. The next day, it's World War III. Don't even get me started on tariffs. It's getting to the point where Canadians are booing us, and we're getting into fights at hockey games with them.
You casually refer to the following as a key components of a "highly complex strategy": "Cut Government Employment, Cut Medicare, Cut Snap Food assistance and School Lunches,
Cut Low income Housing Assistance," without taking into account in any way, shape or form the consequences of this "strategy" on ACTUAL HUMANS.
School lunches, for god's sake. This is shameful. You want kids to starve? And not be able to learn? Medicare. You yourself surely have family members who rely on Medicare. This country is made up of people. Starving them, throwing them out of their homes and taking away their livelihoods and their health care is, sure, one way to help billionaires make even more money. It sure as hell says a lot about not only this administration, but anyone who finds this idea at all palatable or even appealing, as many of your ilk seem to. Does no one care that people will suffer? And die? Because they will die. They have already died around the world due to the U.S. pulling out (illegally) all of the U.S. AID money that Congress had allocated and millions of poor people relied on—literally to stay alive.
I hope this will serve as a reminder to everyone reading this that real people will be impacted by what Anthony and the so-called experts he cites and quotes see as nothing but numbers and dollar signs.
Here are some numbers of a different kind:
—In 2023, the child poverty rate in the United States was 13.7%, meaning that approximately 10 million children lived in poverty—the highest of all wealthy, developed countries. ("We're number one! We're number one!")
—17.9% of U.S. households with children (6.5 million) experienced food insecurity in 2023. That is 13.8 million children.
—In 2023, approximately 12.6% of the U.S. population, or 42.1 million people, received SNAP benefits.
—19% of all Americans (seniors and disabled people under 65) rely on Medicare. That is 63 million people.
—In 2022, **84.4%** of adults aged 65 and older relied on Medicare (44.8% solely on Medicare and 39.6% used a combination of private health insurance and Medicare).
Are we all OK with this? And so OK that we are going to make it exponentially worse by literally taking what food they *do* have literally out of the mouths of poor, hungry children? And are we OK taking away health insurance coverage for **almost all** our senior citizens? If so, what kind of a society are we?
Pompliano paints a vivid picture of a deliberate economic upheaval—chaotic on the surface, but potentially strategic underneath. If this is indeed an intentional reset, investors must resist emotional reactions, reassess their portfolios, and position for long-term opportunity amid the volatility.
The loss of those global security alliances is incalculable. Even if there is such a “plan”, it is simplistic and naive. We need not make enemies of relatives and friends to force needed changes. What’s driving all this is unclear. Part of it is pump and dump, but that isn’t all.
I thought that american politicians were different than latam politicians but in the end all of them are the same, the only that all the politicians in the world is that they want their own benefit and don't care about their citizens; Trump is a populist and he's only benefiting his company and his family's, and the people that financed him;
I'm very concerned of what Trump is doing because everything that U.S. does (for bad or good reason) it affects to México, so I think that in this week Trump is going to "pause" the tariffs again (maybe for one month) and México will have to capture some kingpin to calm Trump down, let's see
I'm losing my retirement at 63. I'm a huge Trump fan but this is not acceptable. Time to get the markets back up
soooo pleased I pulled my pension out and bought BTC ++ alts ... NGU only
I'm the same age. You can't be so short sighted, there is no way to achieve anything without some suffering. Things will come back.
The markets will probably be back up within the year. Not like you're 83

It’s not complicated. Every Trump action is meant to further fill his and his family’s pockets. It’s not about the rest of us.
I don't think it's even that coherent.

Odesa in flames after another night of bombardment by peace loving russians who want to end the violence of war: https://www.unian.net/war/rosiya-masovano-atakuvala-odesu-chastina-mista-bez-svitla-vodi-ta-tepla-novosti-odessy-12934842.html
if you want to take money out of the economy... why not start with cuts to corporate subsidies for corporations making record profits?...
The markets may be chaotic, but for disciplined traders, volatility creates opportunity. Stay focused, stay strategic, and capitalize on the swings

So is this plan like his plan for healthcare the first time around? And it’s funny that hey haven’t mentioned ending corporate subsidies.
