    Even the most braindead libertarians (his base now) would know that this is an insanely stupid thing to do, right?

    Making it really cheap to borrow while simultaneously making investments less profitable and forcing people to make more risky investments isn’t a sound economic strategy. It looks good on paper, but as soon as the economy faces a hiccup, all that ‘growth’ comes crashing down. But of course, that’s all part of the plan. Make his base think the economy is doing amazing, and when a Dem gets elected the next president and this ‘amazing’ economy shatters into a million pieces, they now hold the burden of trying to fix the mess, the Republican aligned media will constantly screech about how the Democrats destroyed the Great economy Trump built up, and we wind up in the same exact spot we are in now in January 2032.

    I fucking hate it here. This is why I wish Trump won in 2020, because this system of the country cycling between Republicans and Democrats every 4 years is why this kind of fucking rhetoric is so effective. Republicans prioritize short term gains that look good to the simple minded, and when Dems inherit it, the growth falters and they have to actually fix the mess Republicans created.
