It didn’t, the last 2-3 times that trillions were printed to sort that moment emergency (thinking in 2008 and 2020, but could be more) and there wasn’t a sudden drop of value then.

In 2008, $4 trillion was printed. But in the financial crisis, $4 trillion evaporated. The net result was zero inflation for the next 12 years.

Then 2020 happened, and they printed too much, and we've had inflation since then.

2008 and 2020 were global and other countries did the same and it was seen as reasonable.

Now with the current administration it would be different.

stocks and real estate prices indicate that dollar lost lots of value during this period.
