I’m 46 years old, and grew up in New York; and thus, know a lot about Donald Trump. Consequently, if at any time before last summer, you told me he’d one day be President, I would have laughed until I cried. After all, a man famous for bad marriages; a big, insulting mouth; and massively overleveraged investments in some of the worst imaginable businesses – from Atlantic City casinos, to the United States Football League – was as far from what I’d consider “Presidential material” as I could imagine. Frankly, if it weren’t for the acting chops he developed on the Apprentice; a show in which he became famous for insulting people each week – from teenagers to washed-up celebrities – before ceremoniously firing them, he would have ever come to the political forefront. As it turns out, an historically angry populace was looking for someone – anyone – to unseat the monsters that have destroyed our nation – and who better than a “no-nonsense” guy unafraid to challenge anyone? That said, if you told me in May 2002 – when I made my first Precious Metal investment, under the premise of an “overvalued dollar” – that 15 years later, America would be a flat-broke geopolitical pariah with more enemies than friends, run more like a Banana Republic than the world’s leading superpower, I would have laughed equally hard. Unfortunately, here in 2017, America is no longer a “superpower,” but a rapidly declining empire; with a President so far over his head, that in less than three months, it couldn’t be more obvious that his first term will be his last. And whether one personally likes him or not; which I suspect, very few did until he started competing with some of the worst people America has ever produced, from Jeb Bush to Hillary Clinton; the fact is, that his unprecedented lack of diplomacy; inability to grasp simple economics; and most importantly, his status as an “outsider” seeking to overthrow an evil, self-interested political boys club; has made him the worst possible candidate to be America’s leader, at its time of greatest need. Not that I can think of anyone suitable for the job – as aside from the retired Ron Paul, American politics today, like those of the entire Western world – are populated by a cast of characters so unsavory, I feel like taking a bath anytime I hear them speak. Let’s face it, there were only two reasons I voted for Trump in the first place. For one, I despised Hillary Clinton so much, I would have done anything – and voted for anyone – to make sure the Wicked Witch of the Western Hemisphere wasn’t elected. Let alone, putting one of the worst people on the planet back in the White House, as “First Husband.” And secondly, a potential Trump Presidency was viewed by what’s left of “markets” as anathema to history’s largest financial bubbles – and conversely, history’s most egregious Precious Metal suppression. Thus, when the powers that be doubled down their manipulative efforts on Election Night – after being “surprised” by Trump’s victory – my rancor against “the system” grew exponentially; leading us to today; when, just five months later, the catastrophe America – and the world – faces, is as terrifying; and potentially, imminent; as anything I can remember in my lifetime. As I write, America is two weeks from a potentially devastating government shutdown – which “Congress” responded to by taking a two-week vacation; and one month from an explosive, unprecedented debt ceiling crisis. Moreover, its economy has NEVER been weaker; whilst its debt – and deficits – are rising parabolically. Meanwhile, Europe is one vote away – in France, less than a month hence – from being torn into pieces; whilst the Middle East is on the verge of a potentially devastating war; as dozens of global currencies serially collapse – either of their own Ponzi-esque weight, or due to the vicious currency wars its lunatic Central bankers have engaged them in. And nowhere is this threat larger than in the U.S. – where four decades of money printing, market manipulation, and propaganda are rapidly collapsing on the “leader” of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme.

The fundamental problem is that no matter who we elect, if someone runs who actually wants to clean-up the mess, they can be threatened, their families/grand-children can be threatened by the deep state goons. Trump needed to surround himself (and his family) with strong-arm loyal forces to protect himself. As it is now, he's invited the evil forces (neocons) into his living room - either because he believes them or because he's forced to. He needs to kick his family members out of any decision-making roles. And he's being isolated by those who don't want him talking to the likes of Alex Jones and Michael Savage. The man spent his adult life wheeling and dealing with Jewish bankers and businessmen in NYC, so now he's still doing it. And he doesn't understand that most/all of them don't have the best interests of the USA at heart. But we are heading into an economic/dollar collapse very soon. So presumably he is positioning for that (or not). Big mess we're into now....... Prepare accordingly....
Go back to the Cuba crisis...check the photos of JFK...outside the Oval office walking with the only person he trusted in government...HIS BROTHER. The generals and "advisors" had a majority ready to use force on Castro. JFK on his own decided to use force on Russia not on Cuba. Interdict the incoming cargo ships with missiles, Kruscheve had to back down not Castro. JFK trusted NONE of his advisors on final decisions.
I'll trade ya Ivanka and Jerrod for HIS BROTHER.
You are insane...Trade Ivanka??????? Jack and Robert were both plunking Marilyn, kept everything in the family.
I'll leave it for others to speculate over whether keeping it in one's pants is a signature of statesmanlike ability. I cannot think of an occasion, however, where HIS BROTHER lobbied on behalf of the interests of a foreign power. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Have not a clue as to that factor. However anyone that would trade Ivanka has to be suspect????? From you I expect a modicum of reality.

It's a well known fact that although a fella may be olde, his head can still be turned by a pretty face.
