🧵 THREAD: Trump’s new $2,000 stimulus checks — economically insane, politically brilliant. 👇
1️⃣
New $2,000 checks for every American sound generous.
But in reality, it’s an inflation bomb — and a nightmare for the Fed. 💣

U.S. national debt just passed $38 trillion.
It’s rising by $1 trillion roughly every 100 days.
And now more free money?
That’s not stimulus — that’s gasoline on the fire.

The Fed is preparing to cut rates.
Trump’s move would throw a wrench into that plan:
more money → more inflation → the Fed forced to stay hawkish.
➡️ A direct clash between fiscal and monetary policy.

Short term: people spend, GDP pops.
Long term: higher inflation, weaker dollar, rising rates.
Trump would give people $2,000 and take it back through inflation.

The real question isn’t what Trump is doing — it’s why.
He knows exactly what this will cause.
Maybe it’s not a mistake.
Maybe it’s a signal that the system is already beyond saving.
Empires always end the same way:
They print, they promise, they pretend —
until reality presents the bill. 💵🔥
