Trump doesn't care about the stock market health condition. It's easier for them to make money off day traders and volatility

My theory is that, this government's main goal or short term goal is for people to decrease long term holding in stocks/ETFs and instead nudge the population to increase day trading like activity/volatility.

This way, they can recoup more money from increased transactions(fees) and higher tax payments.

He also wants to "weaken" globalist US companies and try to transfer more power back to the US government. Have them open shop in the US. In order to collect more corporation and payroll taxes. Even if the end price turns out to be higher for the consumers. Even if the product is not as advanced or well made.
