10. anti Federal Reserve conspiracy theories are rampant among Trump's base

He not only wants an expanding economy to ensure his reelection, he is also pandering to his base.

These conspiracy theories tend to have an anti-Semitic basis, dealing with secretive cabals of bankers manipulating the economy, destroying ordinary people so they can accumulate vast wealth.

Also note the influence of Eustace Mullins

Eustace Clarence Mullins Jr. (March 9, 1923 – February 2, 2010)[1] was an antisemitic American writer, propagandist,[2] Holocaust denier, and disciple of the poet Ezra Pound.[3] His best-known book is The Secrets of The Federal Reserve, in which he alleged that several high-profile bankers had conspired to write the Federal Reserve Act for their own nefarious purposes, and then induced Congress to enact it into law. David Randall called Mullins "one of the world's leading conspiracy theorists."[4] The Southern Poverty Law Center described him as "a one-man organization of hate".[5]
