The Dance of Chairs: Why No One Really Wanted to Be President in 2025

Posted on April 3, 2025May 19, 2025 by Khannea Sun'Tzu

In April 2025, President Trump shocked the world by imposing a 20% tariff on all goods from the European Union. While many headlines focused on trade wars and retaliation from Europe, the real reason behind this move may be much deeper — and far more serious.

This isn’t just about tariffs. It’s about debt. More specifically, the massive and growing problem of U.S. federal debt, and what happens when the country can no longer afford to keep rolling it over.


What’s Really Happening With U.S. Debt?

The U.S. government borrows money by selling Treasury bonds. These are basically IOUs: investors give the government money, and the government promises to pay it back with interest. These bonds are considered very safe, so countries, banks, pension funds, and everyday investors buy them.

But here’s the problem:

  • In 2025, the U.S. has to refinance over $7 trillion in maturing debt, meaning bonds that are now coming due and must be paid off — or replaced by selling new ones.

  • At the same time, the total national debt is over $35 trillion, and rising.

  • Because of higher interest rates, the government now pays more on interest every year than it spends on the military.

This creates a vicious cycle:

  1. The U.S. must borrow more money.

  2. But borrowing is more expensive now because interest rates are higher.

  3. So the interest payments themselves grow larger.

  4. That forces even more borrowing just to keep up.

  5. Investors may start to question whether lending to the U.S. is really safe anymore.

This is called a debt rollover crisis. If not enough people buy new Treasury bonds, or if they demand much higher interest to do so, the entire system starts to shake.


Why Interest Rates on Treasuries Matter for Everyone

The interest rate the government offers when it sells Treasury bonds sets the tone for nearly all other interest rates in the U.S. economy.

  • Mortgage rates, credit card rates, business loans — they all go up when Treasury rates go up.

  • So when the government has to pay 5% or more to borrow money, it becomes harder for everyone else to borrow too.

  • This slows down the economy, can lead to job losses, and makes recessions more likely.

The government is stuck. If it prints too much money, inflation can spiral. If it borrows too much, interest rates rise and the economy slows down. If investors stop trusting Treasury bonds, the whole system could break down.


Nobody Wanted to Be President in 2025

It’s important to understand that this financial crisis isn’t theoretical — it’s unfolding now, and it’s one reason why no politician really wanted to lead in 2025.

  • In 2019, Barack Obama quietly told Joe Biden, “You don’t have to do this.” It was a warning. The job of president was about to become incredibly difficult.

  • Vice President Kamala Harris quietly disappeared after losing. There was only a minor speech, no farewell tour. She simply stepped aside.

  • Others like Gavin Newsom or Pete Buttigieg didn’t step up either. It became clear that Trump might be the only one willing to take the job, partly because he had personal reasons: he was facing multiple criminal investigations, and returning to the White House would shield him from prosecution.


Agenda 25: What We’re Not Being Told

Trump’s policy roadmap — called “Agenda 25” — is public in parts. It focuses on tariffs, border security, and reducing global involvement. But some observers believe there’s more behind the curtain.

There may be private or unofficial strategies designed to:

  • Trigger global economic panic to drive investors into U.S. dollars and Treasury bonds.

  • Use that panic to buy time and reduce borrowing costs.

  • Centralize more power in the presidency during a crisis.

  • Cut domestic spending and social programs under the cover of emergency action.

This may sound extreme, but it’s based on real economic behavior: when the world is in chaos, people often flee to the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds as the safest place to park their money. In other words, if you can create a global panic, people will still buy your debt — for now.


And What About Elon Musk? Or Twitter (X)?

Trump’s return is also deeply connected to powerful interests.

  • Elon Musk, once the world’s richest man, owes much of his fortune to high U.S. stock prices and government support. If the dollar system collapses, he won’t remain wealthy.

  • That’s one reason why Twitter (now X) has become increasingly pro-Trump — amplifying his supporters, helping control the narrative, and downplaying criticism. They want Trump back because his policies protect their wealth.


What Happens Next?

We’re in a phase where debt, interest, and economic policy are all starting to collide. If foreign buyers stop trusting U.S. Treasuries, or even start demanding higher interest, it becomes harder for America to function. Everything gets more expensive. The economy slows. Government programs may be cut. Protests may rise.

Trump’s strategy appears to be shock and redirect:

  • Shake up trade.

  • Blame foreign countries.

  • Trap investor money in U.S. assets.

  • Use the resulting panic to consolidate power.

It’s risky. It could backfire. But for those at the top, it may be their best chance to delay collapse and stay in control.


Conclusion

The 2025 presidency isn’t about leadership anymore. It’s about managing an impossible situation. Massive debt. Soaring interest. A fragile economy. And a global system that may be starting to unravel.

Trump’s return may not fix any of this — but it shows just how desperate things have become. In the end, this isn’t just a political fight. It’s a financial survival strategy.
