Is the Trump regime deliberately crashing the US economy?

Is this stupidity or strategy? It could be either or both.

Trump is telling Americans that they will have to feel pain. For what end?

Whatever you think of the Trump regime, it is certainly a very different animal to 2016. You have Musk slashing the US administrative state and an extremely aggressive and ruthless foreign policy. Whereas the first administration genuinely was chaotic and divided, this one appears to have very little internal dissent. Is the appearance of chaos part of the strategy? Is the creation of chaos part of the strategy.

All the most recent economic crisis have resulted in the wealthiest consolidating their power and wealth even more. An economic crisis can provide the excuse to challenge previously held assumptions and remake things on your own terms. A national emergency, needs the President to take emergency powers, right?

Normally a regime would need someone else to to create a crisis because creating one yourself would normally be discrediting but Trump had long been getting away with blaming other people for everything he does

I'm not backing this theory 100% but it is plausible.
