Trump just made another move to flex his influence over market dynamics—pushing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy up $200 billion in mortgage bonds. What's the real play here? He's clearly trying to keep interest rates in check and send a message to the Fed that he's watching. It's classic market pressure. When you're directing massive mortgage bond purchases like that, you're essentially trying to suppress rates and keep borrowing costs down. For anyone paying attention to how markets move, this kind of policy signal matters. Lower interest rates tend to pump money into risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. The broader point: Trump isn't shy about using policy tools to steer market conditions. Whether it works or creates friction with the Fed, we'll see, but the intent is crystal clear.

Here we go again? Pouring 20 billion to suppress interest rates, really treating the Fed as a decoration.

Coming back with this again? Pouring in 20 billion, just to try to suppress interest rates, huh? The Fed probably won't be happy again, haha.

Bro, this move is really clever, directly handling a volume of 200 billion.

2 billion to buy bonds, this guy really treats the market like his own living room --- Lower interest rates, and the crypto market will take off. Everyone who understands economics knows this trick --- Waiting to see how he and Powell will clash, this show is quite interesting --- Whether it succeeds or not, at least the attitude is very clear: they want to intervene in the market, and they are ruthless --- So, policy signals are always more valuable than news headlines --- Injecting 200 billion directly, this move can indeed change market expectations --- Putting pressure on the Fed is also a form of financial manipulation. Americans play it smart --- Wait, is this kind of operation really beneficial for crypto? I need to recalculate

Wait, can buying $20 billion in bonds really suppress interest rates? Feels a bit too fantastic. --- This trick is old news; in the end, it still depends on whether the Federal Reserve buys into it. --- Damn, are we about to see another round of risk assets entering the market? My crypto wallet is ready. --- So basically, they just want money to flow into various assets more cheaply, and crypto can benefit too. --- Feels like this guy doesn't really take the central bank seriously. Interesting. --- A tug-of-war, will the Federal Reserve obediently comply? I’m not so sure. --- The question is, is this $20 billion really enough? Seems more like a signal flare. --- Same old trick, but for the crypto world, it might be a positive signal.

The 20 billion US debt position is indeed aggressive, just trying to push down interest rates, and then the money will flow into the crypto space.
