They have to print since we are the reserve currency. You starve everyone then release the “hounds $”.. Humans are predictable

We have to blink. It’s our duty to stall until we get our master plan together.

OK, so you don’t have any idea I get it. Quite a few countries have been working hard to get rid of us as the reserve currency, maybe even ourselves. Placing. sanctions on countries all the time doesn’t help your currency move freely.

Will Trump also be letting in black and brown asylum seekers who live in countries with extreme turmoil?

Real asylum or fake like the the scamming that was going on under Sleepy Joe? Poverty sucks, but it's not a reason for asylum. Also it means you might be going back some day.

Also, plenty of other parts of the world to seek asylum.

The idea is China is NOT buying our debt. We HAVE to do the bond thing and ignore inflation. Remember the tariffs were “supposed” to pay taxes…..yeah sure. Big $ wants more yield than bonds. They will open credit/leverage to hook the populace further. Trumps boys are positioning digital assets for a switch or parallel economy . They are getting ready. Saving is done. Only option is income producing assets. Retirements will get cooked: insurance, prop taxes, inflation goods & services.

As of February 2025, China holds approximately $759 billion in U.S. debt, representing about 8.9% of the total U.S. debt held by foreign countries, making it the second-largest foreign holder after Japan.

Tariffs wont pay enough to completely fund current spending levels by themselves which is why its a three pronged approach. tarrifs , increased investment in the us as we're seeing with close to 5 trillion dollars of new investment in this country and third part the DOGE audit leading to a trillion in spending cuts. if he continues to be successful on all three as he is now this country will rock in the future.

401 K's have some investment flexibilities built into them. there are times you should move the money around in them and go more conservative.

Again as I've said before we're transitioning from an economy propped up by government spending to a private sector economy.
that government spending was not sustainable. someone had to make the change.
the good news is trump is hitting it from every angle and you'll also soon see him put pressure on the fed to reduce those interest rates.

I wonder if it's a four prong approach with them revaluing our gold reserves and buying Bitcoin? You might remember a few years back there was talk of them issuing a platinum coin valued at one trillion dollars. The gold revaluing would essentially do the same thing although the internet gurus @Over70irregs speculate that they're going to revalue gold at a much, much higher price than the current market price. At any rate Trump and team seem willing to try anything to get the country straightened out.

My concern with the tariffs is like the Republicans with healthcare and the Dems with EV's, we don't have the manufacturing in place yet. What if the Chinese decide to stop all manufactured goods going to the U.S. in retaliation? We've already seen what supply chain breakdowns during covid looked like. Sure hope this works.

Just believe the media...
They haven't told a lie...
In at least the last eight years...

i dont think thats possible everyone wants to do business with the number one economy in the world.
china's history has been the opposite that being to devalue their currency so the tariffs do not make their products anymore expensive. to me that shows they desperately need us.

i cant comment on the bitcoin question its possible that its a fourth prong but to be honest bitcoin has me totally baffled. my investment in bitcoin is like the guy clearing a mine field with his fingers in his ear hoping for the best.

What I'm wondering is if China is seeing that manufacturing is going back to the States to avoid tariffs would they do anything in retaliation?

Bitcoin has me baffled too. Only know Trump is big on it so it may become a viable alternative to gold and silver.
