Trump’s Stealth War on the Federal Reserve
nigel Green, CEO of DeVere group, believes Donald Trump is quietly reshaping U.S. macroeconomic policy. Rather of direct confrontation,Trump uses two key strategies: stablecoins and cheap oil.
Stablecoins, digital assets pegged to the U.S. dollar, are central to Trump’s economic plan. Thes yield-bearing coins offer interest through tokenized Treasury bills. Green explains, “Anyone can hold a dollar-based asset that earns interest automatically.”
This strategy has three main goals:
- Boosting demand for U.S. Treasuries.
- Suppressing interest rates through market mechanisms.
- Cementing the dollar’s role as the future’s digital reserve currency.
Meanwhile, Trump uses oil as a tool for inflation control. By pushing for lower prices through domestic production and diplomatic pressure, he aims to keep business costs low. Green notes, “Cheap oil fuels everything. It’s inflation control by brute force.”
By manipulating demand and supply, Trump is creating an alternative macroeconomic system that bypasses the Federal Reserve. Green concludes, “He’s building a parallel system. It’s remarkably coherent.”
As the 2024 election approaches, these strategies may hint at how Trump could reshape U.S. monetary policy without altering the Fed’s leadership.
