He blames “stupidity,” not prosperity, for inflation — a stance that clashes with reality: sluggish 2% annual growth and soaring interest rates hitting nearly 5%. His policies, including tariffs and Iran-related oil shortages, are now cited as contributors to the ballooning $40 trillion debt. While officials tout AI, tariffs, and tax cuts as future engines of growth, economists warn these won’t fix deficits — especially with rising Social Security and Medicare costs. Even 3% growth for a decade might only stabilize debt, not reduce it, forcing tough choices like spending cuts or tax hikes to calm markets and lower rates.
