Hedge fund icon who predicted Black Monday crash warns that no matter who wins—Trump or Harris—inflation is coming: ‘We are going to be broke’
Read Original Source
Whether it’s Donald Trump who enters the Oval Office or Kamala Harris, the next president of the United States will face a fiscal cliff that can only be solved by inflating away the national debt. Speaking with CNBC on Tuesday, hedge fund legend Paul Tudor Jones said the two candidates have handed out tax cuts and spending pledges “like Mardi Gras beads.” Whoever wins next month—and his best guess is Trump—will soon find out that bond markets will revolt before allowing any of their checks to be cashed.
