Trump’s Inner Circle Hoards Supplies, Braces for Economic Chaos They Helped Create

Some Trump administration officials and aides are stockpiling goods like toilet paper, food, and household supplies, anticipating economic fallout from Trump’s trade wars with China and other nations. A Trump aide admitted to hoarding supplies and stashing cash, citing the need to prepare for potential shortages and price spikes, while still supporting Trump’s tariffs for their promised long-term prosperity. This behavior reflects a broader panic among GOP elites, including Capitol Hill figures and donors, who fear the trade policies could tank the U.S. economy and hurt Republican approval ratings before the 2026 midterms.
