On April 21, the hashtag “#美元跌麻了#” (“The Dollar Crashed So Hard It Went Numb”) trended #1 in China after Trump threatened to fire Fed Chair Powell, causing the USD index to plummet 1.7%.
Break It Down：
- “Crashed”: The dollar’s freefall (think “crash” or “plunge”).
- “Numb”: Traders felt both shock and dark humor about the chaos.
- “So Hard”: The meltdown happened fast, and the pain isn’t over.
The phrase twists “赢麻了” (“winning so much I’m numb”)—a sarcastic meme mocking groups who brag about victories (cough PowerPoint warriors cough) while actually failing.
