A crypto scheme?

Donald Trump owns somewhere around $1.5 billion to $2 billion worth of crypto assets. His economic plans include 1) tariffs and 2) lower interest rates and 3) a budget that adds $3.5 trillion to the U.S. government's debt.

Points 1 and 2 are both inflationary, and all three parts drive down the value of the U.S. dollar. I believe that Trump's scheme is to damage the U.S. dollar so that his crypto assets will benefit from a general “flight to quality” that typically occurs when a nation's currency is being devalued by the financial markets. He is absolutely despicable enough to try to damage the nation's economy so that he would profit from the outcome, and the intent of his scheme is so obvious that I am surprised that no one has called him on it.
