How do governments control the economy, or specifically the inflation? You may want to say "by increasing interest rates", and although that is correct but it is only one of the tools they use. They control the inflation by controlling the amount of money people have in their pockets. Increasing interest rates means taking loans (loan means people have more money to spend) becomes more expensive and paying back the loans they already have become more costly as the payments go up. So people end up having less money to spend on other stuff which means demand comes down which means prices can potentially come down which then translates into decreased inflation. (that's right, this is how stupid economy as a science has become!!!)
Of course there are other usual ways to take peoples' money like taxes all of which are taking money out of people's pockets. But there is another way to basically "rob" them and that's by market manipulation. If the government can make people invest in something (eg. stock market which they've done before) and then they can crash that market in a way that a large number of people lose a significant amount of money, the end result is going to be the same.
It's the same game as interest rates and taxes. Money taken out of the pockets of the masses into the pockets of the government and the few "elite".
From the day Trump started namedropping bitcoin when he was begging for votes a couple of months ago,
This is the reason why if I see people raining praises on Trump as the master planer that has made Bitcoin to surge to the all time high of 2025, I only laugh because they don't also get a glimpse of Trump's plans on market manipulation. I wonder what those people who were praising him before would say now that market is in the situation of dump due to the tariff war and other means he is uses to manipulate the market, I guess there are even other political strategy that are yet to be applied which in turn will still cause more manipulation in the crypto market and more increase interest rate.

You are right, that's what this is all about,
government have their way of making people to be in debts, they continually and intentionally increase inflation. They manipulate the market and cause some people who are expecting profit on their investment to lose too much money.
Look at the $TRUMP token, they manipulated the price of the token from $0.18 to $70+ and while some people bought at a high price, the token dumped to $8+. That's a clear intentional act that they are using to enrich their self and Trump giving opportunity to the people that made it possible for him to win the election to get their money back from the crypto market through market manipulation.

And these days the desperate Trump is talking more about a crypto strategic reserve that includes a bunch of shitcoins in it... coins that can be pumped and dumped easier.
Mentioning those shticoins must have just been a strategy for price manipulation and not that they were going to spend any money in buying any of those shitcoins, even the executive order said money will not be spent in buying those tokens that Trump mentioned but rather it's a stockpile of tokens that was ceased. At first I also thought that they will buy those shitcoins but as I looked deeply into some article I found that those shitcoins were confiscated from criminals. I also came across one of Peter's Tweet about it.
Adding to the confusion was the creation of a second entity, the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, which will be managed by the Treasury Department and hold other confiscated cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
This distinction has led to uncertainty about the government’s long-term approach to digital assets. While the Bitcoin reserve is intended to be a long-term strategic holding, the stockpile’s purpose is less clear. Unlike the Bitcoin reserve, which explicitly prohibits selling its assets, the stockpile may function as a more flexible repository of confiscated cryptocurrencies, potentially allowing for future liquidations.
