Are Trump’s tariffs a sign of weakness or strategic brilliance?

#trump #tariffs #geopolitics #globaleconomy #dollarcollapse #tradewar #commodities #finance

Is the U.S. heading for a recession or booming economic growth? The answer may lie in one overlooked economic indicator: Doctor Copper. For decades, copper prices have been a reliable gauge of economic health, and right now, copper is sitting at an all-time high above $5.20 per pound.

Why?

1️⃣ Potential 25% Trump Tariff on Copper Imports.
2️⃣ China’s Massive Stimulus Program Boosting Global Demand.
3️⃣ The Electrification Megatrend & Declining Copper Grades.

Analysts are forecasting a 150,000 to 300,000-ton copper deficit this year alone. 📈

💡 Whether you're into mining stocks, commodity investing, or just curious about market trends, you don't want to miss this.

Why does gold continue to preserve wealth over thousands of years? In this short clip, legendary precious metals expert James Turk explains the fascinating consistency between gold’s supply and the growth of the world’s population, revealing why gold’s purchasing power remains intact throughout history.

✅ Key Points:

All the gold ever mined fits under the Eiffel Tower.
Gold’s annual growth rate matches global population growth (~1.75%).
Gold is not consumed; it’s accumulated, making it the only eternal asset.
Gold’s purchasing power remains constant – an ounce of gold still buys a high-quality suit, just as it did thousands of years ago.

📈 Why Gold Is Natural Money:Unlike fiat currency, gold cannot be destroyed or manipulated by central banks. It remains the ultimate store of value, providing stability through economic cycles and inflation.

The consumer debt bubble may finally be peaking. 🚨 Klarna is now partnering with DoorDash, allowing you to finance your next KFC meal with easy, interest-free installments or straight-up credit.

But the real warning signs? 🚩 Delinquency rates are climbing on mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards to levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis. Is America’s economy on life support?

David Morgan explains that as the monetary system unravels, we could be heading toward a future where gold becomes unattainable for the average person. History has shown that during times of crisis, gold prices can surge so high that only the wealthy can afford it. What happens then? Investors turn to silver.

In this clip, we break down why silver could see a massive surge in value if gold prices soar past $4,000. When gold becomes out of reach, silver becomes the next best store of value — affordable, tangible, and historically reliable.

⚠️ Are we heading toward a silver rush?

JP Morgan once said, “Gold is money, everything else is credit.” And if you look at what central banks are doing—not what they’re saying—they’re buying gold like crazy. Since Basel III, gold has been classified as a Tier 1 asset, equal to U.S. Treasuries. So why aren’t they telling YOU the real story? 🤔
Watch to uncover the psychology of money and why gold is still the ultimate financial hedge. 👀

Tired of hearing about the dollar collapsing? Well, it already has — shrinking to just a fraction of its original value since 1913. But instead of admitting it, we keep the illusion alive.

With the system at a breaking point, what’s next? Tokenization? New monetary stimulus? Or, as history suggests, continued debasement resulting in even further inflation.
