Trump needs to give consumers more money, cut debt to stimulate consumer spending ad give cash to companies to kickstart manufacturing to prevent tariff crash

 So obvious, it should not have to be said again.

But Trump has to stimulate demand in the USA so people have the cash to buy American products and also the supply so there is enough stuff to buy to prevent inflation as the tariffs bite.

He can stimulate the demand side of the equation and  consumer spending by tax rebates or capping the rate credit cards can charge, for example

He can stimulate the supply side of the equation by giving companies, business cash grants to produce the stuff that will be missing due to the tariffs to prevent inflation.

Alas, we are not hearing about any such measures accompanying the implementation of tariffs just as DOGE makes huge cuts in the Fed workforce which will have a knock on effect on consumer spending and reduce it.

Trump should make it a point to tell the public about his plans to stop the growing fear he  and his admin does not know what he is doing or is deliberately trying to crash the economy, to get Americans into conscription, camps and deflect with WW3.

The public needs to see the details of the plan. 

They need to see the model. They need to see the daily updates and adjustments to have confidence Trump is not going over a cliff and taking them down with him.

It is not enough to impose tariffs in a  recessionary environment and hope for the best.

Hopefully, that is crystal clear to Trump because he will be the ultimate loser when he is removed from office for the second time for his failure to do what he pledged.

If Trump causes a recession and crashes the economy when the solution is so obvious, there will be hell to pay from his MAGA base who can all see how the Russians and Cihinese manage to grow their economies despite far more diffcult challenges, and he will suffer at the mid terms a huge loss for being a doormat for the corrupt oligarches who control his admin and who have no plans for MAGA, including Peter Thiel, and certainly no plans for a free media to expose their crimes as they go down in flames like the Hindenburg.
