A manufactured “debt bomb” panic is the next play against Trump before the midterms. Barbara Boyd unpacks Scott Bessent’s Hamiltonian plan—sovereign credit for production, not speculation—and why Wall Street and London can’t even comprehend it.
As headlines warn of a $40 trillion U.S. debt and a “bond market explosion,” Barbara Boyd argues a manufactured financial panic is being used to attack President Trump ahead of the midterms. She spotlights Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s “discreet” plan—echoed by Vice President JD Vance—to get economic growth to outpace debt by directing credit into productive investment rather than speculation or consumer handouts. Boyd frames the approach as an updated Alexander Hamilton model: sovereign credit for infrastructure, technology, and industry to expand real output and contain inflation, while curbing Wall Street and Fed-driven speculation. She cites Bessent’s focus on domestic production and supply chains and highlights executive-order priorities including advanced manufacturing, nuclear and fusion power, a Moon colony by 2028, and breakthrough science. The episode also features Vance’s critique of free-trade policies, “deaths of despair,” and a $1B Cleveland-Cliffs investment in Middletown, Ohio.

Bessent explains Wall Street, the financial press, and Democrats keep being proved wrong—contrasting Canada’s job losses with a blowout U.S. jobs report, calling out FT/WSJ panic, and framing a Red Queen economy that must outrun debt, China, and skills gaps.
Susan on Bessent naming IRGC accounts in the British Virgin Islands — the real target is the offshore money machine, not just Iran. Syria sanctions lifted, the Mecca Pact, Russia at the G20, and China on Iran.
