Gold & Silver Love Trump Because Precious Metals THRIVE Amid Instability
How did the world’s most trusted market become a playground for self-dealing and unchecked grift?
Foreword:
Donald Trump’s recent actions have sparked widespread debate and disbelief. He’s organizing a massive, costly military parade in Washington, D.C., on his birthday, aiming to showcase U.S. military might with thousands of soldiers and vehicles, despite concerns about the expense and impact on military budgets.
Trump has also spoke of reopening Alcatraz as a prison for the nation’s most dangerous criminals, a proposal that shows the low IQ frat brat would rather joke around than take his job as US President serious.
In the past three days he posted on the White House page (and his own verified account) of himself as The Pope.
Most recently, Trump threatened 100 percent tariffs on foreign films, labeling them a national security risk? WTF?
Then he started talking about how many dolls and pencils are too many.
But his most egregious and pernicious acts are his obvious self dealing grifts whereby he uses executive orders and tweets to move markets (there he can swoop in and time tops and bottoms of market swings profiting billions off the back of workers)
GOLD AND SILVER JUST LOVE PATHOLOGY, DYSFUNCTION and CORRUPTION and Donald Trump embodies all three of these traits
Trump is the worst President the US has ever had ( tied with Joe Biden)
Donald Trump’s recent actions have sparked widespread debate and disbelief.
He’s organizing a massive, costly military what he calls a “big beautiful parade” in Washington, D.C., on his birthday, aiming to showcase U.S. military might with thousands of soldiers and vehicles, despite concerns about the expense and impact on military budgets.
Trump has also floated the idea of reopening Alcatraz as a prison for the nation’s most dangerous criminals, a proposal widely dismissed as impractical and symbolic rather than realistic
He drew controversy by sharing an AI-generated image of himself as the pope, calling it a joke, though many found it disrespectful and misleading.
Most recently, Trump threatened 100 percent tariffs on foreign films, labeling them a national security risk, which has alarmed the film industry and raised questions about global cultural exchange
Trump, the oldest US President ever mental health is not being called into question.
He is days away from being deemed by Doctors “unable and unfit to serve”
America’s reputation as a safe haven for investment is unraveling before our eyes. The Trump administration’s second term has ushered in an era of corruption so staggering, so systemic, that it’s shaking the very foundations of U.S. democracy and economic stability.
How did the world’s most trusted market become a playground for self-dealing and unchecked grift?
From the outset, Trump’s presidency has been defined by an open-door policy for corruption. Instead of strengthening the legal guardrails that protect markets and democracy, Trump has dismantled them at breakneck speed. Within weeks of taking office, his Department of Justice began dropping investigations into campaign finance and ethics violations, signaling to the world that the rule of law is now negotiable in America. If the world’s largest economy no longer enforces its own anti-corruption laws, what does that mean for investors seeking transparency and accountability?
This is not some isolated blip. The United States has plunged to its lowest-ever ranking on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, now sitting at 28th place-an unprecedented fall for a country that once set the global standard for clean governance.
The drop isn’t just about numbers; it reflects a real, accelerating decline in public trust, the integrity of the courts, and the reliability of American institutions. When the U.S. Supreme Court’s ethics are in question and anti-money laundering laws are gutted, who can trust that contracts, investments, or even court judgments will be honored on their merits?
The corrosion is everywhere. Trump has not only refused to divest from his sprawling business empire, but he’s actively expanded it while in office, launching new ventures and international deals with barely a fig leaf of ethical oversight. His family and inner circle openly sell access to power, with memberships to exclusive “executive branch” clubs fetching up to $500,000 for a seat at the table.
Special interest groups, foreign governments, and corporate lobbyists have all learned that the fastest way to influence U.S. policy is to write a check to a Trump property or event. If the presidency itself is for sale, what hope is there for fair competition in the U.S. market?
Ask yourself: What happens to a country when its leaders profit more from public office than from the salary the public pays them? During his previous term, Trump made over $1.6 billion from his businesses, including millions in taxpayer money funneled through Secret Service stays at his properties and payments from foreign governments. The scale of this self-enrichment dwarfs anything seen in modern American history. Is this the environment where you’d trust your investments, your contracts, or your intellectual property?
The rot goes even deeper. Trump’s administration has systematically purged the very watchdogs meant to keep corruption in check. Inspectors General, whistleblower offices, and anti-corruption prosecutors have been fired or sidelined, leaving entire agencies vulnerable to fraud and abuse. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau-created to protect Americans from predatory financial practices-has been effectively shut down.
Enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the gold standard for policing international bribery, has been paused, sending a clear message that America is no longer serious about fighting corporate crime. How can investors feel safe when the rules are rewritten to favor insiders and punish whistleblowers?
The consequences are already rippling through the economy. Senator Chris Murphy called Trump’s first 100 days “a story of incompetence, theft, and mind-blowing corruption,” detailing how the White House is being monetized at scale for the benefit of the president and his friends.
Meetings with Trump can now cost as much as $5 million, and corporate donors are routinely rewarded with regulatory rollbacks or dropped lawsuits. If the price of doing business in America is now measured in bribes and backroom deals, how long before capital flees for safer shores?
The Trump administration’s actions have not only destabilized internal accountability-they have made America a riskier place to do business. When the government can no longer guarantee fair enforcement, when contracts can be voided by political whim, and when justice is for sale, the entire foundation of the U.S. economy is at risk. Is this the kind of environment where global investors want to park their capital?
America once stood as the world’s safest, most transparent market-a place where the rule of law was sacrosanct and investors could rely on fair play. Today, that reputation is in tatters. The most corrupt regime in U.S. history is not a warning from the past; it is the current reality. As the guardrails fall and the grifters take over, the only safe haven left may be outside the reach of America’s crumbling institutions. In times like these, when governments fail and currencies wobble, gold and silver have always been the ultimate refuge. The question investors must ask themselves is simple: If America is no longer safe, where will you put your trust?
