tl;dr - Trump has the Fed is stuck in a pincer...

We first had a sense that something was off two weeks ago when we read that the Fed was preparing to bail out basis traders, i.e., the largest, multi-strategy hedge funds in the world, including Millennium, Citadel, Point72, Balyasny, Exodus Point due to their staggering exposure to basis trade (see "Fed Urged To Bail Out Hedge Funds During Next Market Crash: Trillions In Basis Trades At Risk").

Dreading what comes next, we next looked at the regulatory leverage among these usual suspects (whom we had been profiling ever since Sept 2019 when the first big basis trade blow up took place, to be followed just a few months later in March 2020 by the biggest basis trade collapse yet and which led to a multi-trillion Fed bailout of the entire financial system), and to our horror discovered what we had suspected: regulatory leverage among basis traders had almost doubled since the last time the Fed was forced to inject trillions to bail out the world's largest hedge funds under the guise of rebooting the US economy in the aftermath of the covid lockdowns... . .

I'm no expert either but the fed seems to have one of two choices, drop interest rates and start feeding Trump's Golden Age for America or let the (((financial system))) burn to the ground.

Jerome Powell will be pummeled and pilloried by the (((UniParty))) if he is thought to have helped Trump.

Seems that Powell will have no choice but to help Americans.

Bonds go up, Mortgage rates go down, car loans go down, business loans go down, interest on the national debt goes down, cheaper refinancing of national debt becomes an option... Americans wins in many ways.

That would be so apropos! Lol! End the Fed! And we watch (((them))) burn their own palace to the ground.

The US Treasury would step up and issue US Currency backed by a basket of gold/silver/bitcoin/oil/????... many such choices.

You're under the impression they would keep the US as an existing nation. I strongly disagree. They'll butcher us up and sell of the parts of other countries to square the "debt". America will turn into a partitioned set of nation states owned by other nationals, similar to what they did with the antarctic.
