Donald Trump's economic decisions have caused consternation globally, but there may be a method to his madness. Trump's approach, inspired by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, aims to burst the stock market bubble before extending time-limited tax cuts.

Trump's assault on trade imbalances, foreign aid, and bloated government may bring federal spending, borrowing, and debt under control, but it also poses a danger to global stability.
