    Trump has to understand this.

    Who says? It seems like these days he doesn’t even know which state or city he’s in, I think the likelihood of him understanding literally any political theory at all is close to zero.

      It’s certainly possible, but I don’t buy that level of ignorance.

      Trump was savvy enough to keep interest rates low to heavily inflate real estate as the obvious money dump for free money. As a real estate mogul, this directly benefited him personally.

      And don’t give me that nieve nonsense that the president doesn’t control the fed reserve. Trump’s corruption was thorough and complete.

      Trump absolutely understands basic economic principles of supply and demand. He is constantly trying to manipulate competition to give himself more power so he can gain from it. It’s the same as raising tariffs to give domestic producers more power so they can raise their profits at the cost to the consumer.

      He just doesn’t give a shit about the consumer, only the kickbacks he gets from the producers.
