So depositing the QE money directly into Donald Trump's bank account would "favour the lower classes more than the already wealthy" because it increases the money supply? :)



Depends how much of it Mr. Trump spends.

Seriously though, it doesn't work quite like that...

Edit - thought I'd be more helpful:

QE is when the Fed engages in open market transactions, buying bonds, and thus putting reserve money into the market. It's not free money for anyone, certainly not for Mr. Trump, and it doesn't involve printing money...
