The shutdown has really started. Is the U.S. government really this broke, or is this just an act? The new Fed chair is also a hawk. Feels like Trump and Wall Street are plotting some massive chess game. Now the question is: Does the U.S. truly want a Great Depression, or are they just signaling a Great Depression to the market, then turning around to inflate massively after squeezing Japan? I’m more inclined to believe the latter. 2026 will be a year of wild surges and crashes, a very turbulent year.
