This is one person's opinion about what is about to happen to the economy.

Listen - if you want to know what it looks like when a president rigs the economy in plain sight, Trump is handing out the blueprint. Everyone's busy watching his clown show with the Epstein Files and taking over cities with the National Guard, but the real play is happening quietly behind the curtain - and it's about to hit every American's wallet like a freight train.
Jerome Powell gave a speech today that was a clear warning - if you know how to read between the lines. (I posted it earlier today.) He basically said that the job market is flat and tariffs are going to force the fed to cut interest rates. This is what the oligarchs have been waiting for. Cheap Money they can borrow and invest in their techno feudal fantasies.
But wait - there's more!
On August 29th, the $800 duty-free loophole on imports goes away. That means all those $15 Temu trinkets are about to cost $95, not because they got fancy but because Trump decided tariffs should hit the consumer directly. No more companies eating the cost to compete. These are flat fees tacked right onto your bill - $80 to $200 per shipment - and guess who pays? You.
Here's the scam. Tariffs jack up prices, inflation spikes, the Fed gets cornered. Powell has been holding interest rates steady, refusing to cave to Trump's demands for cuts. But when inflation takes off because of these tariffs, the Fed will have to cut rates to keep the economy from suffocating. That's basic economics.
It's also been revealed that Trump has quietly spent the past eight months buying over $100 million in bonds. Hundreds of transactions, day after day, scooping up corporate and municipal bonds like a guy with tomorrow's lottery numbers. Why? Because bond prices soar when interest rates drop. If Powell cuts, Trump cashes in.
He's manufacturing inflation to pressure the Fed into a rate cut, all while sitting on a portfolio designed to explode in value when it happens. It's the kind of scheme you'd expect from a hedge fund villain, not a sitting president.
The timing is perfect for him and disastrous for everyone else. By fall, consumer prices will be climbing, small businesses will be squeezed, and Powell will be left with two bad options: cut rates and enrich Trump, or hold steady and get blamed for the pain. Either way, Trump walks away richer.
This isn't economic policy, it's self-dealing. Every family forced to pay triple for school supplies or electronics is just collateral damage in Trump's personal arbitrage game. He's turned the American economy into his own casino - and everyone knows what happened the last time he was in charge of a casino.
If you have not been preparing for this - you better start.
