    The Donald Trump thread

    I felt he needed a thread as news comes out daily.

    To get the ball rolling :

    Donald Trump is going to cut Meals on Wheels to pay for Mexican border wall

    The president appears to be prioritising his promised wall along the US-Mexico border which will receive an immediate $1.5bn (£1.2bn) cash injection

    This is an insightful old interview from Feb '96, that somehow seems quite relevant, with all the various fake news, hacking and trade deals stuff going on.

    Donald Trump will never be taken seriously in the UK so long as he's named after a fart. And I'm afraid Vince Cable is sailing close to the wind too.

    Ok, so he's had two crushing defeats on major campaign promises in just two months, but there's still the wall to be built, and don't forget that he's going to win so often that everyone will get bored of winning.

    All those who are being blackmailed will continually vote against Trump in an attempt to bring down his presidency. He knows this, so I think he is going to take them all out. The wheels are already in motion.

    Well at least he now knows who the enemies are in his own party, so if anything it makes his job easier

    Too many members on both sides of the house are compromised, so he'd be better off focussing all of his energy on draining the swamp.

    Re: The Donald Trump thread

    Well if this stuff is going to happen, they had better step it up.

    The Donald looks very dour of late.
    Stories (relating to Flynn) beginning to surface regards possible impeachment - or stepping down 'in light' of supposed revelations that may arise.
    All if's and but's of course.

    Which might occur first?
    Trump draining the swamp, or Trump getting swamped?

    He brought his own swamp with him.

    He may not survive unless he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Nobody can take on the establishment and win, they own the rules of the game.

    I hope none of that relates to increasingly yeee-haaw sabre rattling at N Korea (to 'win big')?

    He is coming across as beleaguered and history tells us that is what beleaguered Leaders seem to like to do.

    Iran stopped selling its oil for US dollars on March 21. That propelled them to the top of the to-be-smashed list. North Korea is patently a vassal Chinese state. China would never allow that buffer to be removed from their border.

    China and Russia are trying to arrange a market for crude not paid for in dollars. Some real politiking.

    Yes, Russia, the world's largest oil producer, has been selling the two million barrels of what they export to China each day in exchange for Chinese yuan rather than US dollars. China is the world's number one oil importer at eight million barrels per day. They are strongly rumoured to be set next month to offer oil sellers from everywhere else to accept their yuan for oil with the option of then being able to convert those yuans for gold. The more barrels of oil that's sold not for US dollars weakens it, the petrodollar, as there's less demand for them to settle oil trades.

    The US has lived way beyond its means since the early 1970s by exporting inflation through the petrodollar, and despite that has racked up a $20 trillion national debt which is 105% of their GDP. Saddam was removed because he was about to switch to euros from US dollars for Iraq's oil. Gaddafi proposed an African gold backed dinar as payment for his country's production, he went the same way pretty sharpish. Venezuela, which has the largest in the ground oil reserves on the planet, recently stopped taking US dollars for theirs.

    Under the radar, Russia, India and especially China (BRICS countries) have been purchasing physical gold hand over fist in readiness for what's immediately ahead, whilst they've been content to watch the price being massively suppressed in the US through paper futures contracts as they benefit from the outright criminality by getting cheap metal in exchange for their US dollar reserves which they know are hugely overvalued. As well as the US, the UK, Japan, etc, have understood for years that their currencies are all crap so were also content at the suppression because a real gold price would alert their citizens to how dire the situation is behind the curtain. The last thing those governments want is for their people to convert their national currencies into gold, as the Chinese government have urged theirs to buy gold.

    The BRICS countries tired of being bullied by the petrodollar scheme that has been enforced through US military might. The US either accepts the new paradigm or takes on the BRICS in a world war. Whichever option they choose, US citizens and those of its Western allies will endure a painful drop in living standards.
