The Gold Standard stuff is the most confusing thing about him. I can't tell what move he really wants to make.

Donald Trump was big on screaming about the Fed way back when. He now appointed someone to the Fed who's basically put us on MMT. The only thing I can assume is that he knows that he can use our currency as a literal Currency Bomb, which could destroy countries as thoroughly as a round-the-clock bombing campaign. But it was his Fed chief that inflated the currency to the most unsustainable level we've ever seen. It's all funny money. Even his little TrumpBucks are nothing more than an attempt to salvage American savings from the inevitable inflation.

He must know what he's doing. He can't not know what all this printed money will do. Simply having been a gold investor and parroting the anti-Fed talking points would be enough to see that perspective. I wouldn't be surprised if he holds at least some portion of that perspective. If he knows what his inflation does to the currency, then he must be treating this like a nation treats it's currency when it goes to war. He has to siphon the money from somewhere, and someone has to get hit with the currency bomb. I feel like it might be China. I feel like he's going to use "debt forgiveness" as a way of being politically secure in the US, but to use it as a lethal weapon internationally to finance.

I simply don't know what Trump's move is going to be during the collapse of the petro-dollar system, but I know two things: He'll have the US debt as a financial nuclear weapon to get what he wants, and the Global Financial Elite seem deathly opposed to him. From a purely tactical perspective, the largest investment banks in the world, along with China, seem to know Trump is their enemy. Meanwhile Trump is holding a huge weapon.

So, this must be about what Trump wants to do. Psychologically, Trump wants to be loved, and he also really does make deals. I feel like the Globalists are going to be forced to make some sort of a deal with Trump to preserve anything they currently have. I don't see Trump just telling everyone to fuck off and going to a Gold Standard, but I do see the possibility of the Corporatists love bombing him to get him to compromise on some sort of official digital standard for the USD. I feel like we'll end up having some sort of hybrid monetary system in the future, and I doubt the Fed will be dissolved. It wouldn't surprise me if he made some sort of deal where we get a digital currency that is still interchangeable with gold... through official US currency with his ridiculous face on it.

He's played very coy about the Gold Standard and has kept his mouth shut on it for a while, though he's appointed people into positions who are in favor of returning to the Brenton Woods agreement like Judy Shelton. Check out this video from March of 2015 while he was making moves towards the republican primary. Time at 16:40

If I had to bet on it... and technically we all are, I'd bet that we get some sort of hybrid currency system rather than a full digital currency, that has some kind of interchangeable exchange with Gold. I wouldn't put much on it though because it's very unclear what Trump's moves are going to be. But he seems damned determined to make one, and his enemies are panicky to stop him from making it. If you know nothing else, the more tanks you see across the border, the more likely an invasion becomes. Trump's got nukes ready. He's gonna pull a stunt one way or another.
