WASHINGTON — In a bold economic maneuver reminiscent of the disco era, former President Donald Trump has reportedly pressured the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates so aggressively that analysts warn the U.S. dollar may soon be worth “about as much as a coupon for free Blockbuster rentals.”

A senior White House aide, speaking on condition of anonymity and confusion, explained the rationale: “Mr. Trump believes if we cut rates enough, Americans will have so much money they won’t even know what to spend it on. He calls it ‘Prosperity Overload.’”

Financial experts have expressed concern that pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to drop rates to zero—or possibly into the negatives—could trigger a sequence of economic events not seen since the Carter administration. “We’re preparing for 1970s-style inflation, bell-bottoms, and the sudden revival of disco,” said Dr. Linda Frump, chief economist at the Institute of What Could Go Wrong. “Frankly, I’ve started hoarding wheelbarrows again.”

Meanwhile, investors are bracing for international backlash, with reports that Switzerland has begun stockpiling cheese as a hedge against U.S. currency volatility. “America is daring the dollar to become decorative wallpaper,” said Swiss banker Lars Von Plunder. “We wish them luck.”

Asked for his views, Trump was upbeat. “I always said I wanted to make America rich again,” he told Fox News’ Money Matters. “If dollars are everywhere, I think that counts.”
