I was sort of hoping this would touch upon the other big experiment. The government is now buying shares in American businesses. It's telling businesses what they can and can't do about things like DEI, and wielding an enormous stick against those who don't obey. Trump's declaring that he'll be involved with deciding who WB-Discovery-HBO can be sold to.
So, let's say one wants to hedge against the worse scenarios here, a stock market and bond-market crash. Where do I put my pension?

This article is a hit job.

Only H1B visas have been affected by the entry fee for a SINGLE year.

The O1 genius visa and the student visa are still in place and the student visa can still convert to H1B with no issue same as always.

There are many who wish Trump had gone further with this.

Although it is weird that Trump doesnt have any econometric people giving us economic data.

The most interesting development in my opinion is the full-throated embracing of the "it's not wealth redistribution if we're doing it" philosophy. Every day some new announcement of $X billion to be given to group Y... it was $12B to farmers over the weekend.
"Economic Experiment"? BS!

This is straight-up self-destruction and tearing down of global economic systems. As to why; think about who would benefit most from US' demise as global top-dog.
