10 thoughts on “President Trump Appears To Be Riding The Tiger … What Say You?

  1. Thanks John for the simple explanation of world trade and how our Fed Reserve avoids gold and Saudi Arabia is no longer using the ‘petrol dollar’. We may have been the strongest nation economically in the past but currently we are not (not with our trillion dollar debt) and the Fed Chairman might want to reconsider his stance on whether or not he thinks Trump has any sway over him. If nations that hold our Treasury bonds decide to cash in (and most investors do this when values go up) but no one wants to buy, this is a dangerous situation for the USA corporation. God’s money (silver/gold) have always been around and now that gold is becoming the benchmark of other world currencies, we may very well see changes in the USA markets. Hold tight everyone. Trump is a brilliant businessman and I believe he is on top of this (has the tiger by the tail?).

    1. Well said, Jane Adams
      And you are correct – it’s Biblical where it says — Haggai 2:8 ‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts.

      Sounds like a safe investment

    1. Having trouble responding this morning! I was trying to respond to John832 we love short or long comments from all!

  2. Thank you for mentioning the Gold Standard Restoration Act, and Trump’s reference to a Golden Age. Last night there was a headline quoting Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who said Trump couldn’t fire him, even if he tried.

    Sounds like the globalist bankers are nervous about all of this, and not in favor of a gold-backed US dollar.

    Sorry for a little bit of explanation below, but Trump’s Golden Age is probably a real thing, i.e., physical gold backing for US dollars.

    A little over 50 years ago, in 1971, Nixon removed our gold-backing for US currency when leaders from France came to NYC and demanded actual gold in exchange for paper US dollars. Then in 1973, I believe, Kissinger convinced the Saudi’s and other Middle East nations to sell their oil only in US dollars, in exchange for military protection from the US. That gave the US an oil-backed currency, known as the Petro dollar.

    Saudi Arabia dropped that commitment a year or so ago. They now accept other currencies for their oil sales.

    And the BRICS nations are developing a trade payment system among themselves that is partially gold-backed. Those nations (Russia, India, China, Brazil, Iran, and many others) are a huge portion of the world’s economic activity.

    We may have to ignore the endless (and worthless) paper creation of money from the globalist bankers, and move towards some type of gold backing, if we want to trade goods and services with the BRICS and the oil producing nations. And that might be forced by those nations when, for example, a cargo ship arrives from China, and payment for those goods in paper US dollars is rejected. What will we barter with? Our government debt is so massive, and that debt is growing more each day, and China or other countries may no longer want our US T Bills or T Bonds any more.

    What would we do? How do we pay for those goods with something of value that is acceptable? Do we give barrels of oil from a portion of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve in payment for those goods? Oh wait, maybe that is already happening. I’ve heard the SPR has indeed been depleted, and if so, that is a little scary.

    Trump will be the one to fix all that, I believe. And … I may scrape together a few paper dollars soon and try to buy a little gold coin, or maybe some silver dollars, because those might go way up in value soon, if any of this really plays out.

    I don’t normally go on this long with a comment, especially when typing with one finger on my phone, but we are in exciting times!
