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.

a man famous for bad marriages;

Lets check out the bad marriages part.

FDR had a mistress, married lady in Virginia, Elenore had a boy toy, Jew.

Truman was a family man.

Ike had a married lady for his consort all during the war.

Kennedy had the young ones by the dozens.

Johnson said he had bedded at least 1000 women.

Nixon was a family man.

In actuality a bad marriage is not too uncommon????

Trump planned this whole mess, way back when the Bush and Clintons were bombing the world at will.

I must admit, WE ALL KNOW Trump was planning this from the git-go.

Weak kneed conservatives are really liberals at heart.

continuing

Ford, who knows, except Betty had to be a challenge.

Carter seemed to be OK, but, he lusted in his heart (who hasn't?)

Reagan limited himself to two wives.

Bush the first, who knows? prolly a diddler whenever he could.

Clinton would fuck a snake if someone would hold its head.

Bush the second, same as his sire.

Obama, a faggot married to a tranny.

All in all, not too much to recommend presidents as marital role models.

I don't know if you read the entire article, but the following strikes a chord with me. Trump is a warmonger despite his rhetoric on the campaign trail. He is the ultimate deceiver, in my opinion.

"As for Trump’s campaign promises, I can forgive the aforementioned failures to deliver the three he spoke of most vehemently – as from day one, I knew replacing Obamacare, enacting material tax cuts, or launching a major fiscal stimulus program were politically (and economically) unviable. And frankly, the alternative of Hillary’s desired single payer healthcare system – which inevitably, will arrive anyway – was so horrible, I would have done anything to prevent her from enacting it. However, like Barack Obama before him, Trump campaigned on a stance of reduced military intervention; which, like Obama, has been reneged upon in the grossest imaginable manner, in an incomprehensibly short amount of time. Heck, Trump took mere days to decide Syria’s (likely fraudulent) chemical weapons usage was a cause for invasion (and potentially, a bloody confrontation with the likes of Russia and Iran – like Bush and Obama before him, without Congressional consent (as if they’d ever say no to an invasion). I mean, at least Bush had the sense to spend months concocting lies about Iraq’s “weapons of mass destruction” and connections to 9/11 before launching America’s bloodiest, most destructive war since Vietnam.

Moreover, Trump has threatened China’s sovereignty in the South China Sea; and yesterday, dispatched a “powerful armada” to North Korea; setting the stage, potentially, for a three-front war against imaginary evils – clearly, in an attempt to drive through the one campaign promise he’ll likely get his way on; i.e., the biggest military budget increase in U.S. history, atop the largest military budget the world has ever known. And by the way, if North Korea’s “major announcement” this afternoon relates to an advancement, or convincing test, of its nuclear arsenal, Donald Trump’s aggressive threats toward it – and China, which he demanded to “solve” the North Korea problem – are a major reason why."

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 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.

well said. I agree 100%.

I will leave you with this--Catherine Austin Fitts

The world spends a trillion dollars a year on military weaponry. You know that America is a war economy looking for war. We can't afford for war to stop because our whole economy depends on war, more war, more war. It's bankrupting all of us. It's like a tapeworm eating its host.~Catherine Austin Fitts

economic/dollar collapse very soon.

When the holders of short term U.S. debt sell it into the secondary market, all of those chickens will come home to roost. Then we may have substantial inflation. Does Weimar Germany in the 1920s mean anything? ;)

Catherine Austin Fitts is one person who Trump should be calling on to help drain the swamp.

This time, war will finish us off - financially and literally. The financial house of cards is ready to collapse. Robt David Steele is saying they need war to kick the can down the road again.

That indeed is the "official view" of the media in their current onslaught to program the minds of the masses.

Yes, nd they are refusing to buy any new debt. It looks as if we are going to be in the big squeeze before much longer. If the U.S. cannot sell its bonds to finance their perpetual war, the whole system may collapse. Get ready for a rough ride. ;)

I'm not listening to the msm, so I don't know what they are saying. But it is evident that Trump has surrounded himself with neocons. Most of my info comes from Roger Stone and other guests on Alex Jones show. They are saying that Trump's cell phone has been taken away from him and that Preibus is controlling what information he can receive. He is being given inaccurate 'intelligence' - such as "Assad is bombing his own people." This results in Trump responding in inappropriate ways.
