Trump's remark that he could "bring the unemployment rate down to zero in minutes" has recently gone viral online. We need to carefully analyze the logic behind it.



His original statement roughly goes like this: Unemployment rate at 4.6%? That’s not a recession, it’s just my government’s slimming success. Look at how awesome the private sector is—over this period, it added 69,000 jobs directly, all because I cut federal employees who were just loafing around every day. Want to truly bring the unemployment rate to zero? Easy—rehire all 270,000 laid-off workers, plus reactivate 2 million stay-at-home parents, and the unemployment rate could instantly turn negative. Even the Federal Reserve would be crying and shouting for lower interest rates.

The brilliance of this joke lies in—he blames the entire "structural unemployment, AI impact, slowing economic growth" mess on "his own aggressive layoffs," then offers a "cure" through counterproductive measures: rehire people. It’s like someone saying, "I lost so much weight I need to be hospitalized, but don’t worry, I’ll start binge eating crazily tomorrow, and my weight will instantly jump back over 200 pounds, problem solved"—the logic is absurd, and the sarcasm hits the mark.

But that’s not the main point. The real focus is that Trump’s attitude toward the cryptocurrency market is true love.

Just look at his actions: Bitcoin being included in the national strategic reserve, directly treated as "digital gold"; his family’s stablecoin USD1 already reaching a market cap of 3 billion, becoming the "top influencer" in crypto; regulatory reform bills coming out one after another, almost like handing out "official recognition" medals to every miner and crypto participant.

So if you ask, can the unemployment rate really hit zero? Most likely, that’s just empty talk; the real data will move as it should.

But what about the crypto market’s upward trend? That might really continue to surge. Why? Because this time, the wind blowing the crypto market isn’t just empty air—it’s the "Daddy-style tornado" blown by Trump himself. Policy support, strategic deployment, family involvement—this combo signals the market loud and clear.

To put it plainly: employment relies on rhetoric, the crypto world relies on policy support. By 2026, the unemployment rate might still hover around 4%, but Bitcoin and other mainstream coins will have already gone through a pretty impressive rally. This isn’t a prediction, just a reasonable inference based on policy and capital trends.

Haha, those unemployment rate talking points are just smoke and mirrors; cryptocurrencies are the real deal.

Well... Trump's move this time is indeed impressive. The rhetoric about the unemployment rate is purely bluffing, but the policy dividends in the crypto circle are really here.

The rhetoric about the unemployment rate is indeed a form of performance art, but the real positive news is in the crypto circle, where the policy direction is very clear.

The rhetoric about unemployment rate is purely misleading, but this wave in the crypto circle is indeed backed by policy support, it's different. The Trump family’s moves on USD1 are too blatant, it feels like the policy direction is right there.

Haha, Trump's rhetoric is indeed impressive. Zero unemployment rate is just a pie-in-the-sky dream. However, the crypto world is truly different. Bitcoin inclusion in national policy, USD1 pump, policy green lights—these are real signals. A full-blown bull run in 2026 is not a dream.
