Ray Dalio Suggests Trump’s Dollar Devaluation Is Strategic Debt Management
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, posits that the weakening US dollar under Trump’s administration may be a deliberate strategy to mitigate the nation’s escalating debt crisis. In a recent analysis shared on X, Dalio highlighted currency devaluation as a historical tool for debt relief, drawing parallels to current economic maneuvers.
The theory underscores a calculated approach to macroeconomic stability, where a depreciated currency could alleviate debt burdens denominated in local terms. This perspective challenges conventional alarm over dollar weakness, framing it instead as a tactical financial instrument.
