The latest announcement by President Trump via Truth Social [SEE HERE] should not come as a surprise to anyone here.
As the economic impact of MAGAnomics starts to sink-in to the global psyche, once again it is predictable that China and the EU will use their central banking system in a defensive posture against President Trump’s economic, trade and tariff policies. As a direct result, the value of the dollar increases, and as we noted before, “Exports from the USA ultimately cost more because the dollar is stronger against EU and Asia currencies. However, a stronger dollar is an offset to BRICS leverage and allows Trump to play economic chess.”
That’s the background for this:
[Source]
President Trump knows how to leverage U.S. market access as part of the economic security program for the entire country. President Trump is the only person who can do this. If a nation wants to align with an alternative trade currency, President Trump will tariff their products at 100%, and/or shut them out of the USA market completely.
MAGAnomics Simplified: Everyone who is a pragmatic critical thinker knows that China will (a) subsidize their targeted industries; then (b) devalue their currency to lower the impact of exports to the USA. Beijing controls the banks, and they did this before. As a result, the dollar value increases and imports cost less.
The Chinese imports then enter the USA at a lower price consistent with their cost estimate as a tariff offset. China takes in a lower price but retains access. That’s just how it works. The importers pay the tariff with a lowered price and a higher valued dollar. Essentially statis for the time being.
Then…..
EU industrial products to Chinese manufacturing plants start to contract, due to China’s aggressive cost cutting initiatives.
The EU gets angry about the impact to their economy. The EU then follows the same path and devalues their central bank currency; further pressuring the dollar to an upward price. Exports to the EU are now more expensive; however, imports from the EU to the USA are now cheaper. Again, the EU goal is statis.
Both scenarios create cheaper USA imports despite the tariffs. However, on the EU side Trump then ends the Marshal plan and executes “tariff reciprocity” against the EU. More frustration and gritted teeth by Brussels.
[NOTE: Avoiding this squeeze also explains why U.K PM Starmer was all snuggly to Trump at Trump Tower in October – he’s hedging.]
Exports from the USA ultimately cost more because the dollar is stronger against EU and Asia currencies. However, a stronger dollar is an offset to BRICS leverage and allows Trump to play economic chess.
Trump uses part of the tariff income to underwrite agriculture exports, but… here we have fun… if agriculture exports are impacted, domestic foodstuffs drop in price.
Into this dynamic Trump turns to Mexico. We have a strong dollar, all those Western Union transfers to Mexico are more valuable. Leverage is created for multiple ancillary policy benefits. The economic situation then overlays the secure border dynamic and if Mexico wants to retain trade access within the USMCA agreement, the part that no one discussed comes into play.
Unbeknownst to all those except those who watched Robert Lighthizer do it, the USA has first right of refusal to any trade agreement made by Mexico or Canada. That’s correct, Trump now controls a veto on trade agreements within USMCA partnered countries. Suddenly Xi Jinping is vulnerable in Mexico if Trump nixes the EV production. Beijing is financially exposed and vulnerable. Big Panda not happy.
This is what Trump did in 2017. This is what President Trump is promising to do again.
Trump will likely divide the globe into three trade areas. Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Each area will have a trade advisor with specific instructions on that region.
The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer will likely have primary focus on Asia, i.e. China. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will likely have primary focus on Europe. The Mid-East trade advisor could even be President Trump himself or from the energy sector, someone like President Trump’s interior secretary pick, Doug Burgum.
Trump will lead approximately 4 people in this MAGAnomic initiative (the 4th is the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors Kevin Hassett), while holding all the approvals of negotiation and policy very tight. Economic and trade policy will be used to create peace and global stability.
Warmest best,
~ Sundance
Like a BOSS!!!
^ Ha beat me to it 🙂
Me too! 🙂
Man, I love that dude. POTUS is BOSS.
You got that right.
And he’s our hammer, champion and leader.
😎
Which is particularly worrisome for people who are unsure who/what is a woman.
This is the aspect of President Trump’s administration I choose to focus 100% on. I plan to make the absolute most of a roaring-once-again economy.
Kevin Hassett will smile them into compliance.
The hard hand in the velvet glove.
Quokkerine!
Has anyone noticed that Donald Trump is now effectively the President of the United States, because here in the late autumn of 2024, the country is so completely leaderless?
EVERYONE has noticed. Ain’t it sweet!
Everyone has noticed except McConnell and his four butt-lickers.
Any wagers on how long it will take them to get the message.
Not until one of them is run from office. They play the long game and don’t care about the “current administration” whoever that might be.
Would targeting a couple of them ( Elon) has suggested that has he not.
Get them the **** out of office, and send a message.
Cheers!
Exactly….concentrate on 3 big ones. Primary them with good, honest MAGA people ..send a team of our finest into their states. Pick off just one or two and the Senate will then be back to advising and consenting……rather than thinking they have their own little fiefdoms from which to rule.
Fear that’s the answer for Congress, They’re dirty and corrupt and ripe for justice.
The only thing that will rein in the US Congress and SCOTUS is white knuckled abject terror.
Time for an Elliott Ness style “Untouchables” team to be formed of outside contractors answerable only to the President and a dully appointed DOJ attorney. (Or even a CID and JAG combo)
Put a few more in jail and watch them whistle a different tune.
The senate rino eunuchs will get the message loud and clear when Mike Johnson puts the House in recess for 10 days & PDT in turns forces the Senate into recess. With both in recess, PDT makes all the recess appointments he wants and everything else he wants to do they can’t stop while they’re in recess
Please point to any concrete reliable evifence that Johnson isn’t a RINO, and is MAGA and so would side with PDJT and against McConnell/Thune in such a showdown, and no quoting Johnson SAYING he would, means NOTHING.
I agree….and call me a persnickety old pessimist (the optimist with experience definition) but this blovious winning bluster is all fine and good for positioning….but lets see IN PRACTICE….AFTER 47’s appointments are ACTUALLY CONFIRMED…. BC I DON’T have ANY reason at this point to have Faith in Johnson either…..NONE…… & Scuttling BRICS at this point is about as sure a thing as RUSSIA VOLUNTARILY de-coupling from China as a condition of Ukranus “peace”…..🤣
and there is the little(sarc) missile F.U bravado thingy in their back pocket now too…….
just sayin……
Agreed. Not one current sitting Senator helped PDJT last time around in recessing the senate. Including Johnson.
Got popcorn loaded daily for what’s to come. 😎❤️
Watch for Barasso to come out of the weeds once. RFK confirmation hearings begin. He was never for recess before!
They have the message. They are in denial. They have no conscience.
Tulsi Gabbard needs to use the absolute power of the DNI over all information in the intelligence silos, including all the phone calls in the NSA database, to come up with effective blackmail control of McConnell and his henchmen and women.
My conjecture is that the blackmail information already exists and has for some time. DC is run on power, and blackmail is especially effective at manipulating those who have political power. It has been so since Hoover, which is an an overwhelming reason why the FBI and FISA should be abolished and 4th amendment protections should be put in place.
For the incoming MAGA contingent, effectively using the existing material to clean house should bring about much gnashing of teeth and howling from the swamp dwellers. Eventually, (i.e. once MAGA has what it needs from the uniparty scum) transparent and verifiable safeguards can be put in place to ensure such abuses do not happen again. But until Pelosi, Schumer, Comey, Brennan and the like are held accountable for their crimes, it will continue.
Just make it all public no manipulation no blackmail just truth.
Sunlight is so scareyyyy especially when you are the undead. Ask Pelosi, mitch, Biden and all the others past their use by date.
DJT’s team should also use forensic accounting to uncover exactly where the trillions we have given Ukraine ended up. I’d bet a significant amount ended in the pockets of McConnell and the evil four. Sundance is right: Uniparty Republicans want power in order to get money.
Sundance is right: Uniparty Republicans want power in order to steal
getmoney from the U.S. Taxpayers.WE are the ones that have to deliver it for President Trump.
excellent point
Yes, I have noticed.
And it is entirely just considering how much of the Trump 45 Administration was essentially stolen, via lawfare, impeachment, and deliberately interfering investigations from the seditious Deep State within his own administration.
If there were to actually be two massive conspiracy trials revolving around the “Russia, Russia, Russia” and the “phone call to Ukraine” plus a trial concerning massive election fraud in the 2020 election, the proper adjudication should be an extra term in office for Trump without an intervening election in 2028.
Been watching Brics come along for a while. I like Trump’s “Forget selling to us”
Bam! Since no one is currently running the country, President Trump decided that he might as well step in now.
“This is what Trump did in 2017. This is what President Trump is promising to do again.”
And the entire world, including Wall Street, knows this. Everyone is scrambling to position themselves to be on the right side of the Trump policies, so we are already seeing their results now before they even go into effect in January. EVERYONE sees the America First truck speeding right at them, so they are all stepping out of its way before it gets here.
BRICS is dead. RIP. Oh, and China and Russia sit in the corner and can sell each other oil and cars while the rest of the world drowns in cheap American oil.
see me grin
PDJT’s MAGA policies shows how traitorous, incompetent, & weak all the Bushes,Clinton,Obama, & Biden truly were & are.
Don’t forget China, the globalists, the WEF crowd and about 90% of the DC scum released a global plandemic to get rid of PDT when his economic policies were just getting going in 2018-2019. Hard to say what the trash won’t try this time around
He changed his tune.
Something happened in the meantime. Now Xi is his mortal enemy.
China, playing the very, very, very long game, may have outplayed the globalists. Albeit it may be at a high cost, but China has a surplus of young men, and the elderly, and the Chinese culture has never concerned itself with the individual. Chinese economic systems may change. The culture hasn’t changed in 3,000 years.
Agree Alex, the globalists completely overplayed and got double-crossed by CH. The same entities that gave the U.S over to the Chi-Com’s commercially, and made CH the ascendant power it is today, are the same globalists that now have to deal with CH militarily.
None of that, as you know, precludes POTUS, Putin, and Xi from having their own understanding. We will all know soon enough.
There you go!
Maybe closer to the Truth than you may realize.
I hope your right my friend. Look into the “Breakspear” family in China. Slainte
7 clans <<<
A surplus of young men ? Everything that I’ve seen or heard says their under 40 workforce is cratering . Their population control efforts have worked too well . It will take multiple generations to reverse the trend .
The one child policy together with a Chinese culture that values sons over daughters has created a deep imbalance between the number of girls and the number of boys.
Yes, the demographic trend is terrible for China. On top of that, it has a bumper crop of hen pecked, smothered by both parents and grandparents, boys who will never get married or have children.
Too many men who have nothing in their futures except being the economic support for their parents and grandparents, is a sociologically dangerous condition.
When you ain’t got nothin’ you got nothin’ to lose.
And man, those Chinese mamas can really scold their sons. You’ve never seen anything like it.
It has been hypothesized previously that Xi has long dreamed of wresting the globalists’ sway and grip over China and had secretly allied with Trump previously in this attempt, much like Putin.
However, he is beholden to and controlled by the CCP, largely in the grips of 7 clans allied with and of the globalists, and must act very carefully and cautiously.
Just a hypothesis, but it would explain his actions or inactions and the current outlook of Soros et al.
Sometimes, things are not as they appear. 👀
😎
Very good insight BK. I have to commend all 3 of you.
Every time I see this puss I think to myself: So this is what Satan looks like.
“Cheap American oil” will require a reversal of multiple drivers:
• Stronger Dollars will make oil more expensive for foreign buyers
• Biden Regime’s Regulatory & Policy Suppression of Domestic Oil & Gas Drilling & Pipeline Construction
• Biden Regime’s Depletion of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve
• Domestic Demand outpacing Supply for USA Oil & Gas (Electricity Demand for AI, EVs, Reindustrialization & Resurgence of Upstream Mining & Processing Industries, Infrastructure Development to support all of above)
Then add the effects of “Unpredictables” to include
• OPEC Production Policies (e.g., Reductions to offset USA Exports for Price Support)
• Warfare (e.g., Missile & Torpedo Attacks on USA Export Shipping, Blockage of Strait of Hormuz, Denied Access to Suez Canal and potentially Panama Canal)
Increased Domestic production also cuts off IC-Saudi terrorist funding. I think a portion of the foreign aid theft goes to Black Ops projects like UAP’s.
*gasp*
“Increased Domestic production also cuts off IC-Saudi terrorist funding.”
The one thing nobody has ever pointed out before.(!!!)
It’s dawning on me just how important this is. This is why we fight wars over something we artificially restrict, rather than routine market competition. With your second point revealing the funnel of the Gangster Hegemony’s control, that is, buying or installing other mafiosi capo’s as satraps.
Reopen Keystone. Reopen Anwar. Release the Biden held up permits on leases.
Drill, Baby, Drill!!
The rest will fix itself.
ANWAR needs to be reopened for one very good reason.
The Trans-Alaskan pipeline needs the volume from new petroleum development to maintain operations. The declining volume from existing wells is barely enough to keep the pipeline operational in the Alaskan environment these days.
BRICS will not fall for Trump. BRICS knows that if they allow Trump to destroy them then they will never be taken seriously again as a group and the U.S. and West will forever have control over the BRICS countries. BRICS is a foregone conclusion. They are here to stay and compete. The BRICS countries realized that if they don’t do this now after Trump leaves office or is taken out the BRICS countries will forever be slaves to the west.
Betting against our VSGPDJT is a fool’s errand.
I’m not taking a loser bet on this one. Just seeing the ODDS and only a sucker will fall for what Trump says regarding BRICS. The BRICS countries learned the hard way what the West can do to them individually as countries. See what is happening to Russia? If the West doesn’t like you then you will be taken out as a country. And remember, Trump is only there for 4 years and a lame duck president for two years if the Deep State doesn’t take him out before that. The BRICS countries know that the next administration after Trump will change everything back to “normal” and that they can wait out Trump.
I’m feeling a covid mask moment here right now. Have people forgotten our part in Ukraine/Russia, so now “Russia must sit in the corner again”. Methinks the writer of that comment doesn’t have clue beyond NEOCON thinking!
I tend to agree..other nations ( the grey zone.) as outlined by Sundance saw just how close ( millimeters) from a deceased President Trump.
Sadly unless the U.S. can rid itself of RINOS the road will be long.
Cheers!
I agree.
Putin stated many times….America elects
a new President every four years. Nothing
really changes, the ones running the show
never leave.
BRICS is a long game being planned by the
grey zone. The survival of their countries
depend on their long term economic interests.
Biden did a lot more damage than most people
realize. It highlighted how unpredictable
American politics are. A great President (Trump)
to a corrupt dementia President (Biden) in a
blink of an eye happened.
“BRICS is a long game being planned by the
grey zone. The survival of their countries
depend on their long term economic interests.”
This of course is true, but we also must recognize how removal of RU from access to SWIFT; hastened the member states seeking a viable alternative system with which to make settlements, payments etc.
With POTUS very strong admonitions to BRICS nations lately re maintaining the hegemony of King Dollar globally, it’ll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Agreed! I don’t think the BRICS countries will take too kindly to the threats from the US including Trump. Basically what Trump is saying to the BRICS countries proves their point that they need to have something different from the US.
Well said!
I agree BRICS, which predates the Russian sanctions and everything that came after, is here to stay.
And, PDJT did NOT threaten to end BRICS, because of its existence, ONLY if they challenged the Dollars status as the Worlds reserve currency, by creating a single currency to try to challenge the dollar.
Something which while they had talked about it, they seemed to be dragging their feet on.
Overall, this is a good thing, as the way the U.S. Govt. spends WAY too much $, is because of the other countries holding U.S. Treasuries, we need to get our fiscal house in order, which PDJT will do.
The dollar is no longer the worlds reserve currency. The YUAN is!

Agreed 100%
Is that you, Vlad?
BRICS countries all have economies with critical weaknesses making each vulnerable to Maganomics
Can you name those weaknesses?
Not if MAGA uses its brains and follows 4 year of DJT with 8 years of JDV
The problem with BRICS is none of them want to buy/exchange enough of the others currency to really break away from the dollar.
Whether it be bitcoin or other coin ventures it is still some years away from being a financial alternative.
Like it or not the US dollar is still king! With Trump the US dollar will rock and roll forward unimpeded. The next Ob/Bi/AOC infiltraitor filling the presidencial seat may however claim success for its demise. Non-pretending rant stop. 🤷🏼♂️😎❤️ God Bless the U.S
True, but having been burned many time by US Biden locked them out of the system at least Russia so what would you do?
nope
Poison: BRICS countries will all scramble for their own individual economic interests. There is no social or cultural commonality between the BRICS countries.
Nah.. those days are long gone because of the Russia war. The BRICS realized that could happen to them especially China in the future. Remember Ice Cream head Biden did not remove Trump’s tariffs on China.
So you think just living with the status quo on BRICS is the right path. Understand, 4 years of no business with the US will destroy them for a very long time. They will not be able to recover for a very long time. The Deep State techniques for taking him out will not work this time. There won’t be a Vindman, Chiamarala or any impeachment bulls..t.
Russia has already endured 4 years of no business with the West, sanctions, you can’t even send a dollar to Russia. They are just getting stronger.
Russian ruble is in free fall; they are selling oil due to loose sanctions – if trump tightens sanctions Russia will be in trouble; inflation is upon the Bear, too.
Tell us Gary…Is a weak Ruble bad for Russia? I say no. They are selling oil because Europe needs it. Trump wont tighten sanctions on Russia. If he does, I will be very disappointed.
always this nonsense that the Ruble is in free fall, while it is the West that is really in decline and in free fall, the West is a slave to Jewish families like the Rothschilds and others who created and finance globalism, open borders, LGBT, the disappearance of Caucasians, the 2030 agenda, etc.
BlackRock, the company that the right hates so much, was created by Jews like Larry Fink, Susan Wagner, Robert S. Kapito. Karl Marx, another Jew who created Marxism, etc., etc.
The West is governed by Jews.
Well, none of that shit is wrong.
Troll alert !
I guess you missed the eye witness reports from Sundance on the lack of inflation, abundance of products and booming economy of Russia recently.
Try harder.
Huh?
Don’t know where you got your information…..
Find more sources. Russia is actually doing
pretty good.
You are talking of many countries. What would you do to those many countries to get them on the “right path”? Those countries don’t need us. Allow an investor, and friend of Trump to explain.
Poison: The days of econonic self interest will never be gone.
“because of the Russia war.” because of the Ukraine/US war against Russia. Please don’t change facts as Sundance has reported and treepers have come to know.
Have you ever seen the meeting between Saddam, Assad and Gaddafi, where they joked Gaddafi would be slaughtered by America for wanting to help the people of Africa by using gold coins as currency? BRICS is here to stay.
And that is why BRICS has a very good chance of success.
They recognize that they are all different, and that they
are— and that should in no way have any significance in trading.
Novel idea.😉😉 You trade with others due to products being
offered for sale. Products are bought for quality and cost.
Keep politics out of it. 🤷♀️💁
No fear of Sanctions, your assets being seized, losing your
sovereignty if you don’t dance to the right tune.
Amazing! By golly, I believe the World would like that!
They will even allow poor countries to barter product for product. We have corn, you give us rice etc
Exactly.
But how else will they get Pride flags, transition surgery clinics, and Covid “vaxxines”?
What are they going to do about it?????? Cry?
They will do exactly what Trump dictates from a position of strength, or lose access to our markets.
What part of that do you not understand?
And would you rather the US continue to be tax slaves sheared and shorn by these other countries?
America 🇺🇸 FIRST
Either you’re with us or against us.
It’s as simple as that!
You sound like Dick Cheney and George W. Bush circa 2001, “ You are with us or against us.” I have followed the progress of the BRICS countries from this concept was still on the drawing board. If World War 3 wasn’t started with Russia the BRICS relationship would have never been really solidified. I live in reality and don’t do hopeium or wish things to happen. I see what is happening and accordingly interpret them.
I sound like neither of those war mongering, globalist, neocon traitors.
Try harder.
Everyone being forced to have the mighty dollar is globalist!
No, it’s nationalistic America First!
Try harder.
So your idea of nationalism is to force the dollar on everyone. I’m sorry but that’s not being a MAGA.
because of being off the gold standard… this country is vulnerable to a dollar devalue via the OPEC backstabbing they did recently (petrodollar).
so force or kneel
Well, OPEC is not to blame for America’s departure from the gold standard. Besides, there are no friends, only interests.
Nobody’s forcing anything on anyone. They simply have to decide whether they want into the American market or not. And if they do then they do it on our terms. If they don’t oh well.
^^^^^ This.
You are talking about a coalition of the MOST POPULOUS handful of nations on the planet…most of which have their materialistic dreams yet to be realized….HOT GROWTH markets…..ALL of them….
China being a tad OVERHEATED AT THE MOMENT…… THEY in particular have ALWAYS been a long player…..
“most of which have their materialistic dreams yet to be realized”
Thank you for that. The ignorant Walmart shoppers forget their $5 T shirt on a tagged hanger was made by someone with zero healthcare, education, poor food, and earning a $1 a day. Their neighborhoods are toxic dumps so they can have their $5 T shirt. Oh yes, their government could do something about it, but then the T Shirt would be $35
Ah….China has minimum wage,health care,
education,etc.
I did just a little research and found
the propaganda narratives from even
5-10 years ago….false.
A lot of videos on YouTube about China and
how it is today. A Lot has changed. And for
the better.
The standard of living has changed. Just going
to different tourist destinations…notice all the
Chinese people there?🤷♀️
Again, recommend watching travel videos
by people who visit.
Strange that all of the recent economic reports concerning China paint a different picture.
Just sayin.
No one is forcing anything on anyone. Those other countries have a choice.
If the dollar is strong, America is strong.
If America is strong, then America has been Made Greater, AGAIN.
Economic security is national security!
Economic security relies on fair trade practices and a strong currency.
Anything else is globalist and to the benefit of the multinationals and BANKSTERS.
America 🇺🇸 FIRST!
Try harder!
Sorry but that is not America first.
Yeah, it is!!!!!! Period!
How you like those grocer’s prices…..your concept of what is or is not MAGA might be interesting to hear?
Please focus on the America Great Again part……….not brics not the EU, not China……..are we clear now?
But the war is not with the BRICS, the war is with China, the false free trade agreements that have made America deindustrialize and lose millions of jobs and all those big corporations like Apple, etc. whose only flag is not that of America but the dollar sign. lol
I’d argue that the traitors within our country that have done everything from slandering, lawfaring, election thieving, and trying to assasinating PDJT are the true enemies. They are the ones who did those treasonous trade deals to benefit themselves and their golem China. I very well remember ChinaGate and their very similar Alinsky attacks against Make America First Again Populist candidate Pat Buchanan in 92 & especially 96. PDJT has said numerous times “The enemy within”
Do you know how you stop it? You stop buying the products.
Bring back our manufacturing, and pharma production. That would be a big help.
BK let it rip. The US dollar is still king. If you want to trade with us you buy dollars. Russia and China and anyone else wanting to sell/buy goods from the largest economy in the world will do so. Plan on it, invest on it, rest easy on it.
Nuff said… ❤️
I don’t think for one moment he thinks this way. For us / against us. I believe he is very much in favor of every country doing well, peacefully, and fairly. What he rails against is America being chewed to pieces by the rest of the world to suit the WEF vision. In that vision, America must fall.
In Trump’s vision, America does well, every other country’s citizens have the opportunity partake in shared prosperityif they do so fairly. Personally, I have reconciled myself to never getting the revenge I want for the evil doers. Trump doesn’t have mind space for this “distraction”. Neutralizing the evil doers is enough. His vision is so sweeping that it is hard to criticize this approach. I want blood, Trump wants optimal solutions.
When he speaks of a golden age, he believes it to his core.
He has said that especially in regards to the Middle East created conflicts. I can no longer access the article because its behind a paywall but the New Yorker “Trump World Order” has one of the greatest statements I have ever seen about America First, the end of the ME Hegelian Dialectical quagmire, and to let other nations enjoy and prosper via their own people’s steering their governments. Peace & Prosperity for all.
They DON’T need our markets!
Well, the cited evidence by Sundance and the results from the last time Trump did it PROVES otherwise!
They need us way more than we will ever need them on a level playing field.
AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST!!!!
And who really cares if they sell their products to us.
I want to see Americans working and making a livable wage.
Apparently, you don’t.
Keep trying.
Gazillion thumbs up!

https://nypost.com/2021/11/24/biden-spending-thanksgiving-at-private-equity-billionaires-home/
I want our jobs back, so we don’t even need to discuss China if we quit buying, eh?
Who said we would quit buying? Buy our own stuff, OR buy it a reduced price from others as outlined in the post above.
Still pretending and deflecting.
And I don’t give a damn about China’s welfare, but apparently you do. 👀
Have investments there?
Then you’ve nothing to worry about.
Aaaah , but they do . That’s what this is all about . The leaders of these countries will not do what is necessary to make them a ” hot market ” .
I am certainly with you!
However the arrogance the U.S. RINOS display and utter contempt they have for your President would have me as a BRICS member sit patiently for four years.
Now if “ heads roll” and RINOs are culled
The U.S. will thrive for decades.
Cheers!
Hey Dekester I hope you saw my Scotland posts. BRICS needs to see justice done to the traitors and criminals who have been looting and destroy America for decades that the American people need & want to see as well. An added incentive to see the hand of justice grab the whole lot of them.
Cheers my friend and you will enjoy the “Wings Over Scotland” website.
All Things Scottish – Saturday Night Live
Thank you!
BK…..
This is not going to be a cakewalk.
Biden, and the moron RINOS have
done a lot of damage the last four
years.
BRICS is working to cut out doing
business with the West. Self preservation
on their part.
Putin has said…it was not Russia that stopped
using the Dollar. It was the US who told Russia….
you cannot use the dollar.🤷♀️💁
As a result, a spotlight was turned on.
Other countries realized…that could happen to us.
BRICS is not about taxes. BRICS is a cooperation
by countries to promote economic growth and trade.
Without fear of sanctions, frozen/seized assets for
political reasons. 🤷♀️
Right now, it appears that their
mission statement has not been corrupted, and there
is a rapidly growing number of applicants to join, and
do business within BRICS.
Other countries….just want to trade and do business.
Without being told what to do, and how to run their
country. 🙃🙃ya know…if you don’t do Pride Month
Democracy….we won’t trade with you BS.
The balance needs to be restored.
Fair trade, economic growth and development for
all countries.
President Trump and his team can get us the best
deals for America with other countries.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 America First 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I agree with this assessment.
However, read carefully (between the lines) into the motives of the narratives promoted above. It’s there to see.
Deception and ulterior motives lie within. 😉
Agree!
President Trump had us on the right path.
Make America Great Again!
I have confidence he will continue to do so
during the next four years.👏👏
Frustrating that Biden and kiddos not only
knocked us off that path, but they tore up
the dirt on the path.😖🥴😵💫 Took a bulldozer
to it! 🚜
Trade deals and economics are what
President Trump excels at, he will
work for the best interests of 🇺🇸
Ps….Tragedy and Hope. Didn’t know about
the book until you posted title this morning.
Downloaded book.,it’s huge….2000 pages…yikes!
Best news….it’s on audible. Listening to it now.
🎧 🎧 🎧 Interesting book.
I bought the hardcover. Dang that book is HUGE!
Well said 4Gyp. Populism is the way forward as the Wings Over Scotland article said. PDJT laid out the roadmap for others to follow around the world and end their Liberal-Marxist World (Dis)Order.
I read the article you posted this morning!
Great article, and I bookmarked the site to
read regularly.👏👏👏
Garde Bien ….😉
Amen! Sound reasoning
“BRICS is working to cut out doing business with the West.”
—
It’s less about cuting out doing business with the west, and having options available that don’t come with the same level of headaches when trying to do business with each other that other than the transaction system, do not involve the US (and the headaches 2nd and 3rd party sanc madness etc) in the first place.
BRICS have said this many times it’s not about exclusion or attacking the dollar etc.
Anyway they wouldn’t even have the motivation to be bothering with the gradual building out their own settlement system mbridge if ‘the west’ and the US in particular didn’t, with ever increasingly regularly and severity, weaponize the $ financial system on both a first party basis as well as the 2nd party,3d party, 7 degrees of kevin bacons sanctions.
I am not in favor of having my Government use bullying threats of shutting other countries out of our markets, invasions and color revolution regime change to bring about regime changes, many of which do not result in a Govt. friendly to U.S. interests; in other words, the foreign policy of the U.S. Government for the last 30+ years, under Uniparty admins of both faces.
I got no problem with what PDJT is saying, as its very specific; “When it comes to trying to topple the U.S. Dollar as the Worlds reserve currency,…DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!”
If people no longer want it, which they don’t, what are you going to do about it? That is the point.
Here , here ! I share your outlook .
And when your TV, cellphone, PC, freezer, air conditioner, or mower breaks. You will be in a really strong position, won’t you?
Have you forgotten the backed up ships during covid already?
Keep promoting China!
Yes, I remember and it didn’t affect a thing in my life nor anyone I know.
Did you lose some revenue on some product you imported or had investments in? <<<<
You're telling on yourself.
We can manufacture parts domestically (American jobs) and better quality!!!!
Pathetic arguments.
Name checks out
You are 100% correct. Not only do those countries do most of the manufacturing, but they have 75% of the global population within their countries to purchase those goods. They also respect their people enough to pull back from fiat to gold backed currencies, the very thing that cost Gaddafi his life.
There is a reason China just made this announcement:
https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/china/china-gold-discovery-world-largest-deposit-b2656340.html
Maybe that is the goal…lert it be destroyed and never be taken seriously again.
Trump did say he wanted it backed by gold (possibly a basket of metals and Bitcoin) We have the gold, I have heard from reputable people.
Amen.
It’s all about the ability / climate to buy and consume . In the absence of a free market economy that driver will not increase . The ” BRICS ” leadership either haven’t figured that out or more likely loath to give up control of the population .
💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥
MAGAnomics at its finest.
AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST!
And the internal impact?
Main Street and everyday Americans benefit over the Wall Street globalists, for a change.
Just like Mickey Ds – Luvin’ it!
BK,
The other side gets a vote.
To a great extent, the horse is already out of the barn. The Saudis have been transacting oil for yuan for over a year. MBS has spent the last 7 years reinventing the Saudi economy, pivoting towards a different set of industries, using aerial injection spring to try to un-desert the desert, and diversifying the SA investment arm. (BTW, the Trump family is in on a lot of those deals. LIV?)
In the meantime, the Chinese own and operate a LOT of strategic ports (even US ports) after the Belt and Road initiative successful roll out, while the US stood down.
And, the whole world saw the weaponisation of the dollar against Russia. The whole world saw Russia survive. Although it is clear from Putin’s statement that he is open to using the USD even after all that, trust is lost.
This strikes me as an opening bargaining position.
Further, the US is paying out over a trillion in interest (and paying it to whom, exactly?) and that problem remains unresolved. Still in chains.
“Further, the US is paying out over a trillion in interest (and paying it to whom, exactly?) and that problem remains unresolved. Still in chains.”
It is the obvious question yes, and given we know the answer, it become disingenuous to conflate “economic security” with U.S. federal reserve notes we borrow. Owing to the moves away from the dollar by SA you cite, this undermines the entire basis for the “petrodollar” in the first place. The promise and agreement of U.S. military presence and mutual protection for exclusive “trade” and oil sold and transacted in “dollars”.
So the U.S. Dollar, aka the Federal Reserve Note, is by no means “dead”. But the “Petrodollar” ain’t lookin’ so hot.
It will unravel.
Don’t read too much what other countries do between themselves. No one is making them use the dollar on those transactions. Only with trade with America.
You buy from us – dollar.
We buy from you – dollar.
Take it or leave it. We don’t care. In the meantime, we become self sufficient and beholden to no one, not even the Banksters (enter tariffs).
What did the scion of the Rothschild dynasty about he who controls the money supply?
We make our break!
Fingers crossed. I hope you are correct.
Propping up the dollar would be great, if it were the currency of the American people. It used to be, but it is now not. It is the currency of globalism.
Most of the world will not welcome the reestablishment of the primacy of the dollar if the underlying reasons for the disenchantment are not addressed. Bullying for its reestablishment without defanging Blackrock, Vanguard, and scores of other predatory transnational financialists is not going to be a stable long-term solution.
Permanent structural debt (designed so that it can never be paid back, always making interest payments) is a kind of imperial tribute. People were happy to use the dollar before the globalists took over. No one wants to be in an empire of usury, which is against the deep traditions of both Christianity and Islam.
I get that the long term is made up of a bunch of short terms. Propping up the dollar is necessary for reestablishing economic stability inside our country. We just want to be sure that this short-term is not going to undermine us long term. By all means, if someone is using alternate currency then hit them tariffs on their US trade. We just need to be damn sure that we are not doing the usual globalist thing of overthrowing other people’s governments just because they want to go their own way. If Blackrock, Vanguard, and fellow predators are not dealt with, other countries will increasingly choose that path.
Agreed. If we are the economic “bully” so to speak, I’m fine with that. But our economic bullying currently is the other arm to the State Department’s meddling fist. BRICS is a reaction to CIA meddling, color revolutions, etc. It’s not because there is an inherent issue with a strong petrodollar.
BRICS has (also) been driven by the U.S. Regime’s unabated and escalating Federal Reserve PRINTING Dollars that MULTIPLIED Dollar Supply and EXPORTED our Inflation to Foreign Countries holding Dollar Reserves.
That is the crux of the matter, I suspect, BKR – but admit to having no qualifications to back up my utterances.
However, the USD is a fiat currency – thus all countries that use it in trade suffer, to the advantage of the US. I know it is supposed to be backed by your GDP – but is the US really that much of a production powerhouse (without being subsidised by printed dollars)?
Taking countries off the gold standard lead to galloping inflation everywhere and I suspect BRICS might just manage to get those countries involved back to honest monetary policy (but this would also cause the USD to collapse because of its inherent inflationary effects). This is what Trump is trying to avoid – and to so do is detrimental to all other countries because the exports from the US will be far too expensive for most other countries. Simply printing more dollars reminds me of certain African countries – Americans SHOULD be going shopping with a wheelbarrow full of nicely printed paper, just to purchase a loaf of bread.
IF the US adopted a responsible approach to monetary policy and simply didn’t print worthless paper, the world as a whole would be so much better off – I opine. (But see disclaimer at top of comment).
Ongoing deficit budgeting by the US Congress, if it can be called that, is harmful to the world and I suspect, part of the dissatisfaction by so many other countries with US prognostications.
EDIT: I understand the USA has a population of around 336 million – compared to the estimated remaining world population of 7.9 BILLION – that’s a heck of a lot of people that are available to purchase items from BRICS countries, should they so desire – and more so, if the purchase price compared to USA made goods is much more within their means.
I think most Americans simply have no concept of who and what constitutes the rest of the world outside their little bubble. [No offence meant or implied – it is but a simple observable fact, both when perusing comments on this EXCELLENT site and in discussions with many of my American friends].
Great work capturing the spirit of the REST.
BRICS began as a GeoTrading partnership, evolving to GeoSettlement, then to GeoEconomic with Win-Win Investments (China’s BRI and Russia’s Energy/Power Generation) and now Geopolitical-GeoSecurity to develop members’ Nation-State-SOVEREIGNTY.
The combination inoculates members who expand their share of trade with Partner Nations at the expense of Neocolonial Countries of the WEST and the Hegemony of the USA … UNLESS & UNTIL the USA and/or Countries of the WEST re-earn a level of Trust with Political Continuity to become Partners THEMSELVES.
IMO, the “Great Transition” will be “Treacherously Dangerous and Painful”.
This is exactly the dollar weakness. Other nations have been forced to accept the dollars value. A BRICS based on a gold standard is fair to all. The dollar’s value is free to float reflecting it’s true worth.
Exactly! Well said!
Tariffs reduce or eliminate the usury to the taxpayers and thus, your argument just went up in flames.
You still have to wrangle Congress into eliminatating income taxes. Certain interests will be happy to soak everyone both ways.
One step at a time, patience, glasshoppa.
Can’t get the cart ahead of the horse.
Amen!
I’m in full disagreement on this. The mighty dollar means war and poverty for the rest of the globe.
I’d prefer other nations to trade peacefully without fear of sanctions, I mean, who the hell are we to tell others how to live?
Freedom should be for all, not just for us.
Other countries have been permitted to take advantage of us on trade deals since the end World War Two.
WORLD.WAR.TWO.
The rest of the world has depended on us to take the beatings in trading with them.
Trump wants FAIR trade.
And the liberals who didn’t build up their own countries, who squandered their opportunity for generations, are screaming about the concept of actual fair trade, as opposed to giving them huge advantages.
We are not wrong for addressing the unfair trade policies that have gone on since the end of WORL.WAR.TWO.
You really believe that? You really believe the government did that out of kindness of their hearts, and not so they could control those countries, and us via the favors?
And what of the blood treasure we spilled for those countries?
500,000 dead Iraqi children.
Human experiments in Africa. And Ukraine. And South America.
500,000 dead Ukrainian men, at least 100,000 dead Russians.
I’m not so sure the blood scales aren’t very well balanced.
Besides, we didn’t spill our blood for those countries. We spilled our blood (and theirs) for Raytheon, Halliburton, British Petroleum, and Blackrock and, most of all, the Central Banks who profited off of every drop.
That’s true, in the end, of WWII and WWI too, btw.
Roosevelt parked all those ships in Pearl Harbor, against all common sense, for a reason.
FOR them? We fricking MURDERED them.
AND our own, the best men of generations.
They did it, originally out of enlightened self interest; those countries industries, farming, etc. were all devastated.
Which means they could not afford to buy U.S. products, any way.
So,we said “Sure, set up Trade barriers to exclude the U.S. from your markets,so you can PROTECT your industries, and they can grow, and finance the rebuilding,..oh, and heres a bunch of loans to help with that.
And, once you have restored your economies, you can lift the barriers and the U.S. will have export markets for their goods.
But, not only did they never lift the Marshal Plan trade barriers, countries not at all effected by WW2, said “Hey,…we want the same deal THEY have!”
Hence Canada, no more damaged than the U.S. in WW2, had a 299% tariff on U.S. Dairy products.
Insane, how our Givernment gave away one of our biggest assets, which is our inherent trade advantage.
PDJT intendsvto end the Insanity.
Amen!
It’s going to happen whether you disagree or not.
You might as well enjoy the ride and save your body the stress of disagreement.
I’m not on a ride. I am here knowing I have 4 more years to get my house in order, and that rests on God’s decision to give me life to live it.
President Trump’s position is win-win. He’s working for peace and prosperity and that can’t happen unless everyone benefits.
Unlike the globalists, President Trump doesn’t pick winners and losers.
With one caveat: the globalist don’t get what they want, which is elite control of everything. The globalists do not do well under Trumpism.
The treason of “Free Trade” was one of their biggest weapons against Heritage America. I can still see Pat Buchanan visiting a New Hampshire shoe factory in the 96 GOP Primary campaign and those American workers telling the reporter how scared they were going to lose their good jobs to the Council On Foreign Relations promoted “NAFTA”.
Yes
Ever notice how craftily they co-opted the term ‘fair trade’ to psyop the masses with ‘free trade?’
Pretty slick of ‘them,’ huh?
Great point.
Well said and Reasoned. 👍
The Nationalists seeking independence for Scotland see PDJT’s brilliant MAGA-Populist campaign as their way forward to winning their government from the traitor Globalists and restoring Scotland’s Independence. I believe its the winning formula for people around the world trying to free themselves from the evil Liberal-Marxist World Order.
Colkitto, I hate to break it to you, but most Scots are socialists.
Sort of like for Germany, it’s possible all the really defiant ones got shipped out or left between 1690 and 1850.
I remember being at a comedy show in Edinburgh a long time back, when the Scots were preparing that first vote on independence.
The more than salty English comedian took a quick audience poll on whether it would pass. Most voted no, but he then commented he thought it would, and that then the Scots would all go on a hell of a spending spree, throw themselves a full socialist party, and end up crawling back to England on their knees during the hangover phase.
I’m not sure he was wrong.
My friend, you missed the Wings Over Scotland link I put up twice today on the OT. Check it out mate.
Cheers
How do you make a Scottish omelet?
First, steal two eggs…
SD, I knew you were on this from my earlier Trudy punch n Judy post earlier mentioning this. What. Sucker punch to the brics folks eh!
This is what military folks call “preparing the battlefield”, in this case for economic trade in the interest of the USA First!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
BRILLIANT post, Sundance (as usual, with special kudos for exceptional clarity covering complex plays).
Line edit: EU goal is “stasis”.
BRICS will still be around long after Trump has faded from the scene. BRICS is anti-globalist and opposed to Western hegemony, both good things. If you are in favor of a multi-polar world then you should be in favor of BRICS.
Looking at who favors BRICS I highly doubt that.
The US still needs to be clutched away from the precipice of big pharma, medical tyranny, censorship, globalist maidan coups and regime change and what not.. That battle has all been words so far and needs to begin in earnest still.
But you don’t like who favors BRICs?
I think a strong BRIC’s block is what makes US play strong and on the level as well
Multi polar world is the future (that or nuclear armageddon, which we have not escaped from either just yet)
Perfect!
Things will get real ugly…..
if/when our central bank gets endangered.
Central Bank Digital Currency.
and then we’ll get digital id…..
They’ll control your entire life …..
Not what I want.
Whitney Webb warns us that ‘stablecoin’ will be used instead of CBDC.
It’s already in place, and already popular.
It’s public-private, like Facebook or Google, thus able to bypass Constitutional and Bill of Rights limits.
It is just as digital, trackable, programmable, and subject to arbitrary shutoff as is cbdc.
And, just as dependent (and therefore ‘useful’) as digital ID.
“Our” central bank?
Let me know when I get a cut of the ownership.
…..the US central bank…..
“Our” central bank is owned by eight families, all of the same ethnicity.
For some reason, these eight families grant us imaginary credit, for which they receive real money right off the top (or a claim on our nation as collateral.)
Extending that claim to the rest of the world extends their dominion over the rest of the world.
Ok, the dollar will strengthen substantially. Other than planning a visit or two to Italy, what do our financially savvy Treapers suggest for positioning for personal investments.
I went precious metals heavy when Biden was installed and did well along with peace of mind. What now?
More of same. And if you have great risk tolerance, commodities option contracts.
Gold and silver.
After loading up on gold, silver, and uranium, I tried multiple times to understand cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin.
I struggled to see how to buy/sell, etc. It just seemed like a total scam. Then some people I trust started recommending it this summer. My son said “stay away”, so I did. It’s now gone from $25,000 to almost 100K… Some are saying it will hit $1 million. Regardless, the billionaires in control will use bitcoin to set up CBDC, so it’s a safe bet.
The group of billionaires that allowed President Trump to get elected are heavily represented in an ETF symbol ARKK (Ark Innovation Fund led by Cathy Wood). I put about 10% of my portfolio into this. Another safe bet as this wing of the cabal will be paid back for helping him get elected. Some of the stocks in this fund will also be used to set up Digital ID.
Take a look at Argentina.
Watch the interview that Sundance posted with Lex Freiman a few days ago.
I bought ARGT and IRS when Milei was elected. Up 100% in one year. There is still more upside to this 5% of my portfolio.
Lastly, I have about 2% in gambling on some mining stocks in Africa. About 99.9% of these companies are guaranteed losers, so stay away unless you like to play roulette.
Buy the gold producer or mining ETFs, that is, indexes. (I wonder if China’s big find mentioned above is in those ETFs?)
If you want to take the guesswork out of stocks,
just buy SPYs (S&P 500), DIAs (“Diamonds”, the Dow Jones top 10), or QQQ (“Qubes”, the Russel 2000)- these are the top companies in the US.
For short term hits, play ‘options’, or just “write” (sell) ‘calls’ on stocks you’ve bought for steady income.
For tech, get RiskHedge newsletter for $50/year; it finds the next Googles and Apples. They reprint their portfolio every month, without overloading you. And of course, IBD or Investor’s Business Daily, the every tool website that does all the work for you.
Dad’s home!
So has my portfolio earnings shown that.
Great plan! What could possibly go wrong?
Everyone will be lining up to accept this treatment for the vassals. One currency for the world, or else!
Everyone must loose, so the USA can win. The rules-based international order where the US makes the rules that only apply to everyone else. What is changing exactly?
I am sure it will be viewed by all as perfection. What could possibly go wrong??
It would have much simpler to have joined BRICS
BRICS is not going anywhere it’s Trump who doesn’t understand instead listens to those who don’t know that BRICS is not gonna turn loose of their plans to create an alternative to the dollar.
BRICS has simply advanced to far along in this regard to just stop.
Trumps bellicose rhetoric was proper for the deep state demons but not here.
After all it was the United State ambitions for hegemony that created BRICS to form.
Exactly, and forcing countries to choose between Brics or America is a losing proposition.
Well, to look at the data, from 2016-2020, the US dollar index was mostly flat, varying between $98 and $101. Then during Biden, it initially dropped to $89 then up to $112.
If you look at the ChineseYuan exchange rate from 2016 to now, it has mostly been following US dollar trends.:
https://www.macrotrends.net/2575/us-dollar-yuan-exchange-rate-historical-chart
Not much drama, devaluation, or divergence is apparent in currency data, would be nice to correlate with specific tariff implementations. Or threats of tariff implementations that didn’t happen.
Just got to love this man SO MUCH !!! 🙏❤️🇺🇲
If one understands truth and their Orwellian Liberal-Marxist Doublespeak, than this is a great article because the Globalists criminals are greatly frightened by PDJT & his MAGA agenda destroying their criminal-traitorous “Liberal World Order” that has been destroying Christian nations around the world,siphoning off American wealth, and strangling its people to be replaced by third world invaders. Everything is the opposite of what this propagandist is writing. Just like Orwell said in 1984 when speaking of their Ministry of Truth. –
We’re About to Find Out How Much America’s Leadership Matters
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/opinion/trump-ukraine-china-middle-east.html
Wow. My mind did not even go here. What a power move from Trump. I love the fact that he always emphasizing economic power.
Looks like some wolverine needs a second helping of winnamins.
Why is it a British honey badger looks like he’ll invite you in for a nice cuppa tea and crumpets, while an American honey badger looks like a meth addict who’ll shiv you in some alley?
Roughly 35-40% of revenue for the S&P 500 comes from Int’l sales. As the $ value of those sales decreases with a strengthening dollar exchange rate one would expect the largest US stocks to be exposed to declining earnings on a dollar basis.
Small capitalization stocks get much less sales from international transactions (on average) and are thus less exposed to a strengthening dollar. Of course, family owned Main Street sells nothing internationally.
Adjust portfolios accordingly.
Thank you.
Our enemies use the dollar, neoliberalism, and neoconservatism to propel their bloody, globalist tyranny. Let’s agree on that. They enslave and kill us, here and abroad.
In the near term, Trump has to continue to sign massive spending bills that will pile up $2T of debt every year. We’re spending $1T on yearly interest now, rising quickly.
Much of that debt has to be bought by foreigners. We’re making many do it at gunpoint now. Remove the guns, as we should, and what happens?
Right.
Not so simple, huh?
Either we inflate away that debt, and suffer, or rates rise to attract foreigners to keep buying our debt.
Trump’s announcement here is an expediency, but it can only retard the BRICS impetus. It will be there, idling at least, waiting for a turn. Our problems are internal, and they know it.
Trump knows the perverted use of the dollar is root cause of the globalist tyranny. He can’t flip that overnight, and he has to take expediencies now. The BRICS will probably help him, in fact, although he’d never admit it. And whooping up on Chinese/Mexican/Canadian drug and human trafficking is not an expediency. It’s core.
Yes …$6.2 trillion of US economy is manufacturing/goods, $12 trillion is services. US debt is $36 trillion and if obligations like Social Security, health care, etc, money owed coming due for payment by US government in the next 15 years runs to ~200 trillion.
Financialization and debt payments drive everything. Tariffs on manufactured goods are minor notes, they can’t affect the dollar, though certain industries will show visible effects.
Trump has to continue to sign massive spending bills
Why do you say he HAS TO spend more than is coming in. Spending is a policy choice.
That being said under President Trump’s first term the debt increased as well.
In real life if a household would be run in the same way as the US government — with spending continuously outpacing income — they would likely already have their assets under guardianship and in a debt relief program (Like debt-spending-anonymous weekly talk sessions)
The Uniparty is not real life. I say Trump has to sign those bills because the Uniparty will force him to. If he vetoes, they will facilitate death, disaster and impeachment.
I have been assuming that President Trump piled on the debt both to keep Main Street on life support through the lockdowns so there would be something here left to save in 2024, and secondly to blow the balloon up sufficiently high to cause a collapse of the federal reserve note, at the right moment, and thereby kill both the Fed and the offshore USD interests, once and for all = liberation.
Perhaps I was wrong.
So, after all this that we’ve been through, I’m going to spend the rest of my life a slave to the Rothschild central bank? A third of my labor or more, every year, paid over in bondage, just like the last decades of my working life?
If that’s how this turns out, I may just go with lying flat like the Asian youth.
Harrumphh.
Still looking for Lighthizer to appear in the PDJTI47 admin.
Cannot wait to see if and where he lands.
And I’ve long wanted Dr Ron Paul as well. Sundance also.
Me too on Ron Paul.
I’ve been a fan of his for about 40 years.
IMO: This is just PDJT’s opening salvo.
BRICS will not go away. They will just prepare for reciprocity in their economic policies. They will adjust tariffs accordingly.
BRICS plays the long game and so does PDJT.
BRICS nations are far from easy to deal with, but, they know that PDJT is not to be trifled with when it comes to the US economy. They have respect for him and know that he is a man of his word.
With all the debate over BRICS it might help to review:
Brazil- people ok with us;govt wants us dead
Russia -people ok with us; govt would sooner have peace with us
India -people ok with us;govt pragmatic toward us
China-people ok with us;govt wants us dead
South Africa-people see us as a piriah; govt wants us dead
Iran-people ok with us;govt wants us dead
Egypt-people see us as a pariah; govt wants us disabled
Ethiopia-people taught to hate us;govt wants us dead
United Arab Emirates-people taught to hate us;govt wants us dead
There’s a pattern here.
Trump is an economic THRESHING SLEDGE for the USA.
👊✝️👊
When they kicked Russia out of SWIFT the Biden Admin broke the world economic system . Why would the BRICS country’s sit around waiting for the US to stick it to them next . The genie is out of the bottle and though I doubt that the dollar will be dethroned it will eventually fall under the weight of its own crushing debt
MAGAnimous!!!”
This is the first major mistake Trump has made.
The rest of the world already views USA and Americans as being the wealthiest and most inward looking and selfish people on the planet.
The reason that BRICS started was because of that.
How does making all the countries of the world in what will be essentially economic slavery to the bullying USA do anything for world peace in the long run?
Advertising this policy now is obviously to make Putin back off in Ukraine, to isolate him.
Russia lost 27 million people killed in WW2 because they didn’t want to become slaves of Germany.
Economic slavery is still slavery.
The last time someone threatened me to buy their product was The Jab. I told them to eff off.
Not sure how threatening the BRICS countries to buy our $$$ should be treated any differently.
Not President Trumps best move. The dollar is either valuable or it’s not.
Russia did not want to be slaves of Germany, but Russia was already a slave of Marxism, the ethnic Germans in Nazi Germany had a good quality of life while the Russians in the Soviet Union were starving.
Germany would never have invaded Russia if Marxism had not created the Soviet Union in 1922 in Russia.
And the ethnic Germans did not want to be slaves of the Jews in the style of Karl Marx, Rothschild, etc., these Jews and their vision of globalism, open borders, homosexuals, miscegenation, etc.
If you haven’t already done it, I strongly suggest going back and watching/listening to the Joe Rogan/Marc Andreessen interview.
It’s long. Three hours but necessarily so.
It touches on so many important current themes and signals how many former leftists, rich and influential like himself, are becoming MAGA.
And I thought I knew how to play chess!
You can’t force people to use the dollar or has everyone forgot those super effective Russian sanctions. This will work as well as trying to dictate the end of the Ukraine war as a frozen conflict with a DMZ as we rearm Ukraine. It is going to ignite massive inflation and don’t forget the fact that interest on the debt in 2024 was more than the Pentagon budget. By 2027 it will be the largest single budget item. Good thing Dandy Don has been bankrupt so many times, he is the man to preside over the coming depression and economic shit storm coming down the tracks.
> Was more than the Pentagons budget …
In the Pentagon’s defense they failed their audit 7 years in a row so who knows WHAT THEIR BUDGET IS
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
The pentagon doesn’t know.
Anyone know why Mnuchin wasn’t invited or was but chose not to return as
T-Secretary ? Same question about Lighthizer ?
I love president Trump, but that post he made is totally insane.
Most countries realize they are better off aligning with Brics than the USA , there is no way Trump can change that.
The whole “america is a sucker ” schlick is true in some cases .But you look at places like Chile , Peru central america , Africa the USA has been screwing them over the last 50 years . It’s neocolonislism
Re-rrad what PDJT actually ssud. There will be countries “in” BRICS and there will be countries NOT in BRICS, butbthat trade with BRICS AND the U.S.
There will be countries IN BRICS that trade with the U.S., like India.
So long as they don’t try to create a currency, to replace the $ as the Worlds reserve currency, they are fine.
And as long as USA keeps weaponizing the dollar other countries will try to replace it .
I’m really not ‘economically smart’ – I work for the government after all, either the military or non-federal, but can anyone explain how or what Joe American will feel or see economically once all this kicks off?
I saw the part about food prices maybe coming down, but that will tick off some of the producers who don’t want to see profits go away…. It’s all a bit confusing to me.
Farmer4: “They” (governments, the media, corporations, pundits, etc.) want you to be confused, but you don’t need to comply. Everything comes back to human nature–Self interest. Supply and demand. The desire for a better life.
Who offers you a better life? The US? Russia? China? India? Brazil? To which of these nations is everyone else trying to immigrate?
Trust yourself. Believe in what works for you, because all the “experts” are simply trying to sell their versions of reality. They want your money. Don’t give it to them.
No, it’s not that anyone is trying to confuse me, I could really just use someone telling me – from this side – what the common person will see in the stores or home market. I am not an entrepreneur in any fashion though. I know that.
Again, Sundances excellent and oftvreprinted and updated article on MAGANOMICS, where he talks about “lemons and widgets” and “,the exfiltration of wealth” does exactly that, and gives you such a good understanding that YOU will be able tovanswer that question for yourself.
One analysis here for:
* Regular inflation
* Aggregate demand down
* Standard of living down (you can buy less variations of stuff and less stuff in general)
George Gammon on Rumble:
https://rumble.com/v5o6hdz-will-the-trump-tariffs-lead-to-an-economic-boom-or-bust.html
You might not agree with the analysis but at least he is explaining why he thinks. Better than the 90% of the two word anaswers at least.
Food prices going down, doesn’t neccesarily equate with producers losing profits, any more than prices going up, necesarily equates with increased profits.
Your only Gummint work is showing, lol.
If you believed that, you believe the Dems accusations that food prices have gone up, because of profiteering by the suppliers.
Suggest you go to the home page, find the “search archives” function, and type in “widgets or lemons”, and “exfiltration of wealth” which SHOULD lead you to one or another of Sundances excellent treatises on MAGANOMICS.
The first time I read it, my eyes began to cross after several paragraphs….don’t give up. Bookmark the article, cause the next time I read it, I got a little farther, and understood a little more, and after many readings, it finally “clicked”.
2016 is not 2024. Bluster and ego only work when your hand is strong.
Trump — on global politics — has been left with a extremely weak hand.
The US and the “rules based order” are simply not going to be the only show in town. That is reality.
If you go on elephant rampage with tarriffs and declare “war” on BRICS on the first day… good luck sir.
US might find itself isolated in the world more and more.
“Its us or them!” Seriously. Is that what they told Germany as well?
If a country is smart they would trade with everyone, and not just the US.
In Putin’s words, its not “the world that wants to move away from the US dollar”. Its that the US makes it impossible to use the US dollar : the abuse reserve currency status for trade wars. That is how alternatives get created. I am not sure but reading what Trump said he wants to double down on using the USD as leverage against countries, thus escalating de-dollarization. He might be making BRICs a lot bigger with this policy.
We shall see though.
If he does it without guns, and provides the enablers for the dollar to be used as a tool and not a weapon, then it can work in the near term, during which we hope we can clean up some of our internal messes.
The BRICS will watch to see whether the above “ifs” come to pass. If so, they’ll happily stick with the dollar tool. If not, BRICS will continue to gain mass, and wait for the pyramid game and nulandism to inevitably collapse.
What are the chances of Mexico scrapping USMCA and applying for BRICs candidate state?
Canada already suggested bi-lateral trade agreement instead of mex-us-can, one between us-can and one between us-mex
World is changing at a rapid pace now.
See above – Trump (USA) has veto power over any trade deals of Canada and Mexico.
They can do that at their own peril.
>They can do that at their own peril.
With remarks like these BRICs does not even have to spend advertising budget.
Hopefully Mex and US can work out their agreement like adults. Some recent things out of Trump admin like Kellogg for Ukraine and now this post make be think some of the people he appoints are behind on reality and facts.
For instance:
Yet, it is now clear that the BRICS is growing in clout. In 1980, the G7 accounted for about 50 per cent of the world’s GDP in purchasing power parity terms, while the BRICS countries – excluding Russia, then part of the Soviet Union – accounted for about 11 per cent.
Today, the G7 accounts for 30 per cent of the world’s GDP, while the BRICS countries account match it at around 30 per cent. Equally importantly, the membership of BRICS is growing dramatically, while the G7’s is stagnant.

Translation: BRIC’s trade block is growing, and already eclipsing total output of G7.
Maybe shutting them out is the US putting itself in peril.
No one said “shut them out” unilaterally.
It is trade by our terms or suffer the consequences.
It’s called negotiating from a position of strength.
Canada screwed themselves with USMCA, because they absented themselves from the negotiations, so Trumps negotiating team ignored Canada, negotiated the deal, and then presented it as a fait accompli; either sign on to it, or we will make it a bi-lateral agreement, and negotiate a seperate deal with you (Canada).
That would have put Canada in an even worse position, so they signed.
REALLY stupid what Justin did; in any bi-lateral trade agreement, the U.S. has the upper hand, as our market is so much larger than any other country; thats our strengtg, and thats WHY the EU, initially a TRADE BLOC, was established,.
So that all of the countries of the EU’s markets COMBINED, nearly matched thecU.S. market.
Otherwise, they inherently want to sell into thecU.S., more than we want to sell into theirs, which gives us the upper hand.
Or maybe it is another move that strengthens BRICS.
Like the sanctions against Russia reportedly did.
So many things apparently misrepresented now, aiding the rise of BRICS and sinking the US Bloc.
SUNDANCE….YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTAR**…George Patton approves….
That isn’t exactly what he said, as that would be a bogus demand, yes. He’s stating that anybody who tries to replace the dollar in int’l exchange will get hit. He likely already knows they’d be decades away from that, absent a US financial collapse. China, Russia will settle accounts as they wish.
I agree with others above who have pointed out that 2016 is not 2025 and that Trump has much less leverage over BRICS countries than he did in his first term. Those who observed the outcomes of the BRICS summit in Kazan last October, noted that one of the initiatives was an acceleration of the development of alternative methods of global finance and trade: i.e. to setup alternatives to Bretton Woods institutions like the IMF, WTO and World Bank. Those initiatives are well underway as is an alternative to the USD to settle trade between BRICS member states, which is rumoured to be a mix of a basket of several BRICS currencies like the ruble and the renminbi, together with a proportion of it in gold. Consequently BRICS members have been buying lots of gold and stepped it up in the last 18 months. This is going to put a lot of pressure on the USD because as we all know the USD is entirely fiat since Nixon took it off the gold standard in the early 1970’s. So competing against a currency partly backed with gold is a road to nowhere for the USD.
Another more immediate and potentially devastating problem for the USD are the T-bills China holds. If the US provokes China too much, either over Taiwan and/or with the imposition of such tariffs as Trump suggests, China could simply dump their trillion plus holdings onto the market. This would immediately devalue the USD almost to the point it became less valuable than toilet paper, and it would cause massive upheaval in the derivatives market, which would cause bankers on Wall Street to start jumping out of windows. Recall how Buffet called derivatives “weapons of financial mass destruction?” An episode like the above is why he said that.
Finally, I’d like to refer readers to the astute observation Sundance made some time ago, when he pointed out the sanctions that have currently been imposed on Russia and about to be extended by Trump, are not so much designed to punish Russia as they are designed to fence we in the West in, and keep the rest of the world out. This is what will happen even more if Trump goes through with his plan, and the question we all in the West want to be asking ourselves is: do we one billion Westerners really want to cut ourselves off from all trade with the other seven billion people in the world? And if the answer is yes, then consider the current and projected economic health and current and projected industrial capacity of our Western partner nations, such as in the EU, Canada, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The only one out of that whole list I can see which scores well on that account, is South Korea. All the other Western nations fail miserably, and the trend lines for future direction in every case are all looking like an increasingly dangerous black diamond ski slope.
The EU countries are economically on the ropes, as a result of their insane mass migration, as well as insane energy policies, and pursuit of the war with Russia in Ukraine.
They have not payed their obligations to NATO, for many years, knowing the U.S. would make up for their lack of expenditures; even paying 2% of GDP, for THIS year, is not enough.
What about the ARREARS?
This, and the tilted and unfair trade barriers put up with the Marshall plan, are what has enabled European Countries to spend so much on infrastructure, like the bullet trains, and on Social safety net programs, like generous pensions, free healthcare, etc.
WHAT are they going to do, when PDJT uses reciprocal tariffs to tear down the trade barriers, AND says just paying what they owe for THIS year is not enough,..they must keep current, while starting to pay the arrears? And if not, he will effectively withdraw from from NATO.?
They CAN NOT cut back on those social safety net programs, their people have grown to feel entitled to,..without facing a revolt?
Does PDJT not have them by the b*lls? They can huff and puff, and get as indignant as they want, but in the end they will do whatever PDJT says, .
Christmas time
