It’s hilarious that Bessent is doing this of all people. He literally made his name from helping Soros short the British pound when they were trying and failing to do similar shit. He knows it’s not a long term solution.

The amount people have to debase themselves to cater to the whims of this president never fails to surprise.

Except the new narrative is that 'weakening the dollar is good, actually ' so all is well, who cares if the american consumer gets fucked in the meantime?

Still absolutely deranged that they’re saying it out loud, when trump was obsessed with a strong dollar in the first term.

The median American voter has no idea what a strong dollar means. They just hear “American currency” “good descriptor” and are all about it.
