Yesterday, in response to Jeffrey A. Tucker’s post, SDA commenter ‘Trodwell’ posted something brilliant:
It’s not just that the voters demanded change. As Elon pointed out so clearly, if the U.S. remains on its present course, it will be bankrupt. There are no “managed bankruptcies” when the defaulter is the world’s largest economy and the global reserve currency. Trump and his cadre aren’t just saving America, they’re physically yanking the rest of the world’s profligate bankruptcies-in-waiting back from the brink and forcing them to follow suit. If the U.S. returns to a semblance of fiscal probity, any nation that fails to do so as well will face absolute ruin. If Trump and his team succeed, this will have been a watershed moment, at least in U.S. history, that could very well have global repercussions and usher in an entirely new era. It’s difficult to imagine an historical parallel. Waterloo and the Congress of Vienna come to mind. So do 1865, 1776, and 1453, though none of those were as global as this could be.
The Dems, the post-modernists, the globalists, the MSM, the would-be destroyers of Western civilization, and the Deep State (BIRM) were worried about “Trump Reloaded”, when what they’re actually facing is “The Trump Revolutions”. Batten down the hatches. Even a bloodless bouleversement can get mighty rocky.

Watch the exchange rates. The “canary in the coal mine”.
Our Kanadain politicians seem to all be running in the other direction.
The US is fighting for its life. If tariffs work and substantially reduce income tax, many countries that tax their populace to the hilt might see their citizens seriously consider political parties that offer that alternative. The left won’t like it.
Remind me, again, who claims to be the alternative “global reserve currency”?
It all makes a lot more sense when you take that into account.
The UK is buying up US treasuries whilst China offloads them. We are living in interesting times.
“The left won’t like it.”
Pretty good reason to do it. 😉
The Senate didn’t get the memo. Rand Paul attached an amendment to a spending bill that would have mandated cuts to spending in proportion to spending increases. It would have cut $1.7 trillion over 6 years. It was trounced by the Senate with the help of 29 Republicans
Really it isn’t a revolution, it is a counter revolution and hopefully a return to normallcy. We have been experiencing a cultural revolution. Victor Davis Hanson’s thoughts with which I agree.
There is enough of a spread between the London and New York price of gold that many people are trying to move their gold from London to New York to take advantage, it just requires processing in Switzerland because there is a difference in the size used between the 2 markets.
People wouldn’t be doing that if they were worried about the stability of America
The world would be so different if the Butler assassination attempt had succeeded.
MAGA is canada’s only hope ….. communism awaits us if it fails …..
