<p>Former Lehman Brothers trader Larry McDonald stated that the Trump administration deliberately triggered an economic recession to address the $36 trillion debt issue in the United States. He pointed out that if interest rates remain at current levels, next year's debt interest will reach between $1.2 trillion and $1.3 trillion, exceeding defense spending. Trump needs to lower interest rates to save on interest expenses, and the current economic environment is similar to the stagflation period from 1968 to 1981</p>

- Larry McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, argues that the Trump administration is intentionally triggering a recession to address the U.S. debt issue of $36 trillion.  
- He highlights that if interest rates remain high, the debt interest could reach $1.2 to $1.3 trillion next year, necessitating a 1% rate cut to save nearly $400 billion in interest.  
- McDonald warns of a typical stagflation period, where inflation persists despite a recession, and suggests that hard assets and commodities are essential for inflation protection.
