Some are tying Trump's plan and ultimate endgame to an economist by the name of Stephen Miran. Below is an article discussing that connection.
The Wild Trump Theory Making the Rounds on Wall Street
And Miran's referenced paper: link
The article isn’t terrible convincing (I confess to having not read Miran’s paper, just skimmed it). The theory seems rooted in desperation: ‘No one could be THAT crazy, so there must be something else going on. Please, dear God, PLEASE let there be something else going on!!’
When you hear hoofbeats, etc.
