…to tank the American economy in order
to push the US CORPORATION into
bankruptcy and terminate the Federal
Reserve after the US dollar collapses.
This controlled demolition and subsequent cataclysmic
state of economic and financial affairs will provide the
necessary “Problem~Reaction-Solution” context to
launch the Great Reset by rolling out the long planned
CBDC and Social Credit System. As the Global Economic
& Financial System breaks down, a totalitarian government
will be established in D.C. administered by a draconian technocratic bureaucracy staffed by AI-directed fascists
and communists whose only loyalties are to the Zionist
state of Israel.
TRUCULENT TRUMP’S TERRIBLE TARIFF REGIME & TRADE WAR
Submitted by T. Anthony Michael
SOTN Exclusive
By virtually any reasonable economic and financial analysis, President Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff regime and simmering global trade war is already an unmitigated disaster that will further impoverish the American people. Now watch this video to understand why things are about to get even worse economically and financially in all 50 states: VIDEO: “China wins a trade war with the U.S.”
What Trump has done by recklessly launching his exceedingly brazen and daffy tariff regime is beyond catastrophic for these once United States of America. The fiscal calamity unleashed by such a bad presidential move cannot be overstated. And everyone on both the Left and Right knows it, but most are afraid to make the honest case for fear of retribution. As the preceding video demonstrates, at least leading economist Jeffrey Sachs has the cojones to speak truth to power.
Another guy who gets it, but who also has the safety of living in South America, is Doug Casey. See: Trump’s Tariffs and the Coming Economic Fallout
KEY POINT: Tariff regimes of this magnitude in the past have always been approved by the U.S. Congress, not whimsically erected by the POTUS. No one man should ever possess the tremendous power that Trump has unconstitutionally arrogated unto himself by this purely presidential initiative, just like “only Congress can declare war and appropriate military funding”. Of course, we all know that that awesome power has also been regularly usurped by virtually every POTUS going back to JFK.
However, what’s really alarming about Trump’s epochal US train wreck on top of a global dumpster fire is the dearth of intelligent analysis and courageous commentary by the economics and financial class nationwide. Really, where the heck are they all?!
De-dollarization
First, let’s look at the most obvious blowback to Trump’s tariff regime.
De-dollarization will now take place at warp speed, especially throughout the BRICS alliance and Global South. But even among the USA’s traditional trading partners will there be steps taken, both overt and covert, to insulate themselves from Trump’s tariff tyranny. Secret de-dollarization endeavors are surely on their agendas. Who wouldn’t protect themselves from an 800 pound gorilla on a rampage throughout the worldwide marketplace?!
For the uninitiated, de-dollarization has been a rapidly evolving reality over several years for the collapsing American Empire, but Trump’s recent misguided maneuvers have put this urgent defense mechanism on steroids. Again, the totally unnecessary and gross maladministration of this tariff regime cannot be overstated as the US dollar devalues faster than you can say “CURRENCY MELTDOWN”.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Next, there are the immense supply chain disruptions that are about to take place with China tariffed out of all US markets. You talk about stupid!!! Trump gets an F- for this extremely provocative and insane ‘gambit’.
It’s simply impossible for economies large and small to efficiently secure material and product sources for so many essential parts and various items that only China manufactures and exports. See: BEWARE AMERICA! Trump’s tariffs hurt the US much more than China
Trump’s spiel that his highly engineered predicament will force American industry to re-industrialize wherever necessary is pure bullshit. Even if that happened to any degree, it will take years, if not decades, to create the requisite industrial plant capacity and to retool the factories to manufacture WHAT IS NEEDED RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW!!!
What a complete and total idiot Trump is. As are his economic advisors for promoting and/or supporting such a catastrophic executive decision (that was not his solely to make in the first place).
Inflation & Instant Karma
When you look at all of the expected repercussions together with the numerous unintended consequences of both this tariff regime and trade war, one HUGE inevitable outcome reigns supreme—INFLATION. And the still escalating prices in every store across the USA confirms this instant karma. Sorry to say, but we ain’t seen nothing yet.
This is where Trump & Company really screwed up. Especially after 4 long years of Bidenomics and the raging inflation that it caused, the coming uptick in inflation will put the final nail in the coffin for the middle class. As for the poor poverty-level folks, they’ve been six feet under for years.
Who does not know that whatever tariffed products make it into the country will see those increases passed on to American consumers. That’s who eats it, as We the People always have over the centuries. Which is why overly restrictive and/or aggressive tariff regimes, particularly for highly developed markets like the U.S., will needlessly squeeze more blood out of the citizenry.
International Relations
This is where Trump really screwed the pooch … because once he floated the tariff regime and started the trade war with China and their trading partners, he immediately created a LOT of ill will. He apparently ignored the decades of ill will that were already created by one POTUS after another in their pursuit of American exceptionalism.
All Trump’s fake MAGA (which is really MIGA) has done is to re-emphasize in the minds of every resident of planet Earth that Pax Americana really means “might makes right”. And, that the Washington Consensus is always about “When America wins, everyone else loses” at the close of every deal. This is not only Trump’s boneheaded understanding, he puts this policy to work by brashly and indiscriminately swinging his big club globally to show everyone he can play tough guy even when his pants have fallen down.
However, Trump and his band of economic lightweights and financial amateurs are all hat and no cattle. And the world community of nations is onto him and his meddlesome mafiosos as never before. Everyone now knows that Trump was installed by his Khazarian masters to bluff his way out of so many serious economic debacles and financial fiascos it boggles the mind.
Then there is Trump’s close collusion with the likes of Israel’s genocidal maniac Netanyahu, which leaves no doubt about the juvenile cave man they’re really dealing with. This is where Trump has permanently lost the entire Muslim world as well as any and all nations who have supported the Palestinian cause. Which means that the BRICS and the Global South will never comply in earnest, and will only continue to separate themselves from the despotic American Empire every way they can.
Flip-Flopper-in-Chief
Not only has the whole world come to see Trump as a habitual flip-flopper, they know he cannot be trusted at his word on anything. All they have to do is look at his many broken campaign promises. You name it: finalizing a Ukraine War peace agreement, stopping the Gaza genocide, cleaning out the Deep State, removing the illegal aliens, taming out-of-control inflation, appointing a cabinet of real movers and shakers and not milquetoasts, etc.
KEY POINT: To date, The Trump administration has removed very, very few illegal aliens (now estimated at over 50 million). All of the dramatic ICE operations constantly televised by FOX News are only taking place to give the false impression that a multitude of illegals are being shipped back to their countries of origin; they aren’t. It’s all show and no go. The latest status report stated that 68,000 illegals had been arrested thus far, which is not only a highly dubious number, it’s not even a drop in the bucket.
As for Trump’s forever changing tariff regime, the guy has proven to be the most unstatesmen-like jitterbug of all time. What an absolute yo-yo! He can’t make up his mind from one day to the next because none of those tariff decisions are grounded in any economic reality or fiscal responsibility. And his unprecedented and constant reversals and re-reversals are driving the entire international community nuts.
Much more significantly, all of Trump’s foreign adversaries know in their bones that he will be gone in less than four years and replaced by another highly untrustworthy American politician who will renege on all of Trump’s deals and agreements, negotiations and pacts. In view of that eventuality, many governments, both friend and foe, will simply pay him lip service while looking for ways to screw the US for its maniacal MAGA foreign policies.
Trade War With China
Lastly, picking a trade war with China is perhaps the greatest foreign trade policy fiasco in US history. Really, how utterly brainless is it to start a massive trade war with your third largest trading partner who actually supplies much more necessary components and ingredients, parts and products than the first and second largest put together—Mexico and Canada, respectively.
Compared to China, the U.S. makes very little these days and does so with an inordinately high labor cost. Clinton’s economy-destroying NAFTA made sure of that; and that was after years of Corporate America moving the nation’s industrial base to any foreign countries that would produce at much lower costs. Which is why China and Mexico, India and Vietnam, Taiwan and South Korea, Germany and Ireland supply the US with so much product; and why we run such a high trade deficit with them all.
To the main point, it is the US trade deficit with China, which was $295.4 billion in 2024, that speaks volumes about this precariously lopsided trading relationship. However, that severe trade imbalance is entirely the fault of previous administrations, not China. If Trump wants to blame anyone for this dire economic state of affairs, he and his family and fellow billionaires needs to look in the mirror. For it was the plutocratic oligarchy that quite purposefully transformed People’s Republic of China into a colossal slave plantation after the China-U.S. rapprochement facilitated by President Nixon.
The crucial point here is that Trump desperately needs to find a scapegoat(s) for all that ails the USA both economically and financially. With a national debt fast approaching $37 trillion, China is an easy target that Trump’s MAGA movement loves to hate. Just as the rabidly Russophobic Biden was planted in the Oval Office to generate hatred toward Russia by the Democrat side.
Nevertheless, Trump is not even a toothless tiger trying to wage war against a fire-breathing dragon which has been preparing for this epochal trade war for decades. Unlike those famously short-sighted politicos inside the Beltway, the Chinese are always playing the long game. So while Donald Trump is busy playing his silly game of checkers, Xi Jinping is playing the game of GO, the most complex Chinese board game ever which has been played for over 2,500 years.
BOTTOM LINE: While China’s got LOTS of gold, the US has stones (Fort Knox is apparently empty until the perps prove otherwise). The annual interest payment on the U.S. National Debt is now well in excess of $1 trillion ($1.158 trillion for FY 2024). As a result, the US dollar is tanking by the week as the markets are gyrating as they do before every collapse. The ultra-financialization of the American economy has turned it into a laughingstock worldwide. And the few goods produced and many useless services provided for export will no longer be in demand after the “Financial Masters of the Universe” conduct their controlled demolition of the Global Economic & Financial System. See: THE FOURTH TURNING: A Day of Reckoning for the Long-Gone American Republic
Conclusion
The Donald is nothing but a carnival barker, but an exceptionally dangerous one indeed. President Trump was stealthily installed in the White House (both times) by the Khazarian Cabal to wreck and ruin the Republican Party after he wrecks and ruins the US economy … just as “Corn Pop Biden” and “Crazy Kamala” were planted there by the same to irreparably demolish the Democrat Party and the nation, which they did with remarkable success.
Never forget, every nation ALWAYS gets the leaders they deserve. The jaws of karma are now coming for the American people as they do every 80 years (see previous Fourth Turning link). And because the political class has been unrelentingly bribed and blackmailed to bankrupt the US CORPORATION, a real life bankruptcy artist was recruited to finish it off. Donald J. Trump ran at least 6 businesses that declared bankruptcy with a seventh — Trump University — closing down as a result of educational fraud. So, that makes him the perfect economic/financial hitman to whack the American Dream for his Khazarian Mafia handlers, once and for all.

NO ONE CAN FIX THIS!!
NOT EVEN GOD CAN FIX THIS!!!
