FUCK I JUST HAD A FUCKING REVELATION! FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The market volatility is causing deflation. That's great, but it's also fucking really really fucking bad, and it's also the best thing to happen in our lifetimes. Holy fuck we're in for a wild fucking ride! I know what's going on now. Not just the idea that Trump is driving people over to bond markets or whatever to drive down interest rates and pay off the debt, or any of the other ideas that have been mentioned. There's something else we've missed entirely. He's not just going to deflate the dollar enough to make eggs affordable, he's going for it. I mean... IT. He's going to crash the whole fucking thing with no survivors.
When the dollar deflates it's great because commodity goods will go down in price. Groceries and whatnot, you know. But your debt will go up in value because the dollar becomes more valuable over time. The good thing is, because there are so many minimum wage laws, people will really be making more money than ever once deflation goes far enough, but companies will stop having cash on hand to pay for things, and start laying people off while trying desperately to get those laws repealed. But that's not the big thing. Oh no, that's not the pièce de résistance.
Gold will become worth less too. Everybody who's been stockpiling gold is gonna be watching what they paid $3,000 an ounce for steadily decline in value until it's like 1/3 or less that dollar amount. This will fuck over EVERYONE... except the United States. Why else do you think they were so concerned recently about how much gold is in Fort Knox? They needed to know how much was in there so they could know what their liability was going to be. Donald Trump is literally making the Goldfinger play. He's going to nuke everyone from orbit without firing a single bullet. The tariffs have already got people kissing his ass. Soon they'll be eating out of his hand.
He's going to kill the Fed.
