"The average person on the street is against interest rates rising and inflation, how would this possibly help him in the short term?"

Trump is not interesting in keeping things the same as they are now, he has goals he needs to accomplish, destroying the "Deep State" and the "Central Bank", the people who put Trump in power are not interested in the short term and kicking the can down the road, they want to seize control and give it back to the people, to actually do what Kennedy said he was going to do, but in a controlled manor by using the deep state against itself, by instituting policy which will self implode the system which will result in short term "great pain" for America but then turn into great strength, wealth, self empowerment and great individual responsibility.
