Perhaps Trump is wanting to slow the economy down to allow the interest rates to drop and then he can renegotiate the enormous debt load at a lower interest rate. Very risky to do because it hurts many but it could be one of his goals. Has he been asking daily for the interest rates to be lowered?
Since every action that Trump has taken and will take are the same ones someone would take to destroy the country and given how much Americans have been harmed and given his history of fraud and lies, it would be the height of foolishness to assign any altruistic motives to his actions.
Well, another Great Depression would probably lower prices…
That would require a plan. He doesn't plan. He manages by instinct. Those same instincts that led him to bankruptcy courts 6 times.
