USA presidential candidate Trump reiterated at a town hall event in Pennsylvania that if elected, he would greatly reduce the interest rates in the USA in response to the audience's concerns about housing affordability, but did not specify specific implementation measures. In addition, Trump participated in a 'One Day McDonald's Employee Experience' and criticized his opponent He Jinli for fabricating her McDonald's work experience.

With about two weeks left until the USA presidential election, Republican presidential candidate and former president Trump recently reiterated at a town hall event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a swing state, that if he is elected on November 5th, he will significantly reduce the interest rates in the USA. When asked by the live audience about housing affordability, Trump responded,

"We want to significantly reduce interest rates, and there is one more thing for the economy to turn around - interest rates, you can't borrow money at all right now."

However, Trump did not specify the specific measures to implement this policy. In addition, Trump's long-standing policy of high tariffs and low taxes is believed by the market to possibly keep the USA interest rates high and may lead to depreciation of the currencies of trading partners.

However, Scott Bessent, a top candidate for Trump's chief economic advisor and his government's treasurer, recently commented in an interview with the UK Financial Times on Trump's plan for import tariffs as high as 20%, suggesting that the plan may eventually be weakened in negotiations with trading partners.

The direction of Trump's economic policy after being elected needs to be closely monitored to see if it aligns with the pre-election promises.

Trump experienced being a 'One Day McDonald's Employee.'

It is worth mentioning that Trump appeared in Pennsylvania yesterday to participate in the 'One-Day McDonald's Employee Experience' and accused Democratic presidential candidate He Jinli of fabricating her experience of working at McDonald's. As working at McDonald's has a certain symbolic meaning in the currency circle, Trump's actions have also sparked discussions in the Web3 community.

According to CNN, Trump walked into a McDonald's in the outskirts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and told the manager 'I am looking for a job,' then proceeded with his 'One-Day McDonald's Employee Experience.' He took off his suit jacket, put on a black and yellow striped apron, personally fried fries, from pouring them into hot edible oil to salting them when they were cooked, and finally distributed the fries to pre-selected customers from the drive-thru window. This scene attracted thousands of onlookers gathered on the street opposite the restaurant. Trump stated during the event:

'I have always wanted to work at McDonald's, but never had the opportunity. My current opponent claims she worked here before, but the fact proves it was completely fabricated.'

He Jinli's campaign team later criticized Trump's McDonald's visit. Spokesperson Joseph Costello said that Trump's actions showed how he would exploit the laboring people for his own personal interests during his second presidential term, and pointed out:

'Trump simply does not understand what it feels like to work for a living. No matter how many of these show events he does, his plan for the second term is just to provide more massive tax cuts for himself, his wealthy friends, and big corporations.'

Trump's chances of winning have risen to 60%

Currently, the latest data from the on-chain prediction platform Polymarket shows that the market odds of Trump winning have widened the gap between Democratic candidate He Jinli, with Trump's support rate reaching 60.5%, while He Jinli currently has only 39.4%.

However, according to DL News, Trump's recent surge in odds at Polymarket is mainly influenced by four whales named Fredi9999, Princess Caro, Michie, and Theo4, who collectively bet nearly $24.7 million on Trump's victory, potentially distorting the entire prediction market outcome.
