The suicide of the FERN (Federal Reserve Note) dollar means the WEF gets its way, and the West dies off. But they do not seem to notice that Communist China and Christian Russia are no longer in on the old global neo-feudal suicide pact. It is astounding to watch. I talk about this in my podcast.

Thanks for the reporting. I think no matter what Trump does, certain trends will not change. The best Trump can do for USD is to slow its decline. The worst he can do is to launch WW3. But so can Harris or Biden. IMHO, Trump's mission, is to clean the house of USA and deal with internal problems. From the outside looking in, the USA is a waning empire, even after the house cleaning. Yet don't forget, the cleaning has not started, real work and pain have yet to come. I would hope Trump and his cabinet picks simply say as little as possible about foreign policies. The international situations will force their hands anyway. Remember how Napoleon left Moscow and how he reached Paris.

Trump is living in the past. Why should there even be a reserve currency? Let the free market reign, and we will all prosper. Tariffs are taxes on consumers.

Trump is an egotistical idiot.

Tariffs are a charge on wholesale prices. An iPhone costs 10 bucks coming from China, so a 25% tariff means $2.50 extra, so $12.50 per phone, then they sell the phone for $1000. How does $2.50 change the price of the phone to the consumer? It does not. The USA, when it was a Republic from 1776 to 1860, charged tariffs and had no taxes. Yet the government ran for the people and wealth was generated because the government was not in the way, and human creativity and entrepreneurship led the day. Trump is claiming to be trying to get back to that time, but what to do with 12 million treacherous federal employees and contractors who will sabotage him every step of the way?

Sober, $12.50 to $1,000 a phone? I don't think so. Tariffs are arbitrary. Wholesale prices vary. Tariffs are a tax on the consumer. The rise in tariffs by 60% is why the Confederacy seceded. Government has NEVER run for the people.

No. Tariff is on wholesale price. Thats it.

Sober, Trump wants a 100% tariff. So, a Mercedes costs $40k wholesale. Add the tariff, and the Mercedes costs the Mercedes dealer $80k. The consumer who buys the Mercedes will pay that $40k tariff when the dealer sells the consumer the Mercedes for $90k, giving the dealer a $10k profit.

That's how tariffs tax the consumer.

It's not so simple cause the parts from afar are tariffed, but locally made are not. Complicated.

He was a failure in the first term and looks like he is taking the same road for his second term.

We are suffering under non-stop intelligence operations and manipulation. What is the most efficient way to suicide a population? Line them up in two lines, firing at each other till they are all dead. Badabing badaboom. War. Kill the alpha males off and the beta males are easy to control.

U.S. government fury can’t prevent bilateral trade in local currencies. USD doesn’t need to be replaced because non-USD bilateral, trilateral, or multilateral trade can prevail combined with local currency swap markets. Parallel processing doesn’t need to replace a channel of goods and services exchange between trading partners. Trump follows the American illusion that “big stick” policies can prevent another manifestation of a rising multipolar world.

Every sovereign country in the world must exit the sollar for their own long term survival. The Criminal Gang Running the USA Inc. has shown it has no intelligence, no self-control and is unfit to lead a high school football team, let alone geopolitics.

Sure will! Trump is there to deliver the coup de gras to America all while he satisfies his cult of followers with domestic bliss, but internationally? Trump is straight up a Uber Zionists and his selections do not bode well for a peaceful future and Musk? Just Trump’s Deep State handler.

Problem is that if Trump does that he will succeed in isolating the us economy and given that the US produces almost nothing how is he going to trade? Europe only?

Sober Christian, Years ago, a popular writer of many books and a Libertarian, traveled to Zurich, Switzerland (I think it was Zurich.) There in the city is a big building that is the Tariff Center for the Western World.

In this building, tariffs are written down, decided upon, etc. As the Libertarian was walking down the hallway, he saw a cart piled high with copies of that year's tariffs for the Western economies. The binder was 4" thick.

Somehow, the binder ended up in the Libertarian's backpack and he took the next train out of town.

Oh, yeah, tariffs are complicated. Tariffs are a complicated scheme and game the Big Boys play with us.
