Will President-elect Donald Trump deliver on his campaign promises to dig in with an anti-globalization stance and potentially start one or more trade wars?
I have no doubt that he will follow through on this promise. He was clear about one goal throughout his campaign: Getting much tougher on trade relations.
The president-elect has talked up a range of aggressive actions, including:
Labeling China a currency manipulator …
If President-elect Trump delivers on the protectionist measures he pitched during his campaign, investors can expect increased market volatility, especially in bonds. In fact, it’s already started.
This week alone, global bond investors have seen more than $1 trillion in value wiped out. My view: It’s the start of the sovereign debt crisis as foreign governments and central banks — worried about trade — send a message to Washington. So if Mr. Trump carries through with renegotiating trade deals or slapping tariffs on goods, guess what?
| “Expect increased market volatility.” |
Our U.S. Treasury note and bond market will get clobbered, interest rates will soar, compounding the interest on our country’s gargantuan debts … and …
As I’ve been saying, the piper will inevitably and finally get paid.
Washington will go bankrupt, right along with the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is stuck with more than $4.5 trillion of U.S. notes and bonds.
The fact is my cycles and AI models warned of a sovereign bond crisis long before Mr. Trump even decided to run for president. We were heading down this path no matter who became our next Commander in Chief.
Best wishes,
Larry

There is an old adage: It’s hard to remember that you intend to drain the swamp when you are up to your ass in alligators. Just hope the water level can be lowered a little. Short term problems will overwhelm long-term solutions; especially when the long-term power elite are the short-term problem

What will, or can Trump do about the artificial manipulation of the silver market? Can’t he just tell the banks to stop selling paper silver without having the stuff in hand? The silver market price should be much higher considering the huge, upcoming demand for silver in the solar energy field to combat global warming.
Seems like an easy fix. Why should big banks be allowed to do this with impunity.???

Hello Larry, Much as I appreciate you and your work, please allow me to correct one error: The President is only Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military, not of the American people. Otherwise we would be in an outright dictatorship. That is why I always try to correct this well-meant error in terminology. Keep up your good work, sir. Thank you.

The path has been set for a Dollar bankruptcy with a value reset tied to payoff of current debt. Government digital currency rising from the ashes with paper confiscation & conversion at price set then abolished.
This digital New Dollar can be easily value tied directly to new Government debt & Fed manipulated.
Problematic is jurisdictional, achieved by overcoming multinational resistance which when successful would end bullion commodity value trade speculation. Oil could become stabilized, Real Estate bubbles controlled.
Endgame is a further shrinking minuscule Elite with a broadening worker class, Kings & Peons.

What do you think of the Canadian dollar as an alternative to the U.S. dollar as we move into the next currency crisis? Your thoughts on the Australian dollar vs U.S. dollar as Gold & Silver move higher?
James Bursey November 15, 2016
The US has the strongest economy in the World. Canada and Australia are pipsqueaks by comparison, with resource dominated economies with declining value-added as their manufacturing bases shrink (since 2000, Canada has lost 60% of its manufacturing base). Both countries suffer from an oligopolistic banking system that with the national investment regulators restricts or discourages locals from investing in anything but the stock market (virtually no private equity formation). Being ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water’ makes their economies only as strong as the commodity markets allow, and peaceful so long as employment is stable. Canada has lost hundreds of thousands of permanent jobs since 2014 (the major job growth is in ‘self employed’ and ‘part time labour’), while the US has added millions of full-time jobs. Now which dollar do you want to invest in?

The down side of multi-national corporations is that they have no permanent address. They generate massive income well in excess of many governments so they can change their location quickly, acquire key resources quickly (including buying the favors of local politicians) and bank their profits in tax favorable jurisdictions. National governments are created and laws are passed by progressive populations and institutions to provide minimal living standards, access to education, religious freedom and the ability to participate in rule-making to the 99.9999% of the rest of the population who are not situated in the miniscule elite who have almost complete unfettered control of the majority of the world’s institutions and assets. The TPP and many multi-national trade deals and institutions move control of these critical assets beyond local government “government by the people and for the people”. Since many countries in the world do not recognize basic human rights and much of the world is in desperate poverty it is relatively easy for multi-national corporations to virtually enslave local populations, despoil the environment for maximum profit, bank their profits tax-free in international tax havens and continue to acquire control of what’s remaining of the world’s assets while trashing the worlds environment and driving the world’s population to destitution. Thus we see the unelected EU driving Europe to ruin, we see depleted uranium weapons being used in Eastern Europe and the Mideast and we see elements of the American political system trying to move social and political controls of the national economy and the environment beyond control of American citizens. We in the United States have also seen a continuing trend under successive administrations of enlargement of federal bureaucracies and rulemaking powers thereby taking decisions out of the hands of state governments and local citizen’s organizations, these citizens organizations and state’s powers being a natural system of checks and balances on centralized authority. Media ownership is heavily concentrated and seems to support the growth of an expanded federal govenrment because media is largely controlled by multi-national monetary interests. Corporate interests most likely support concentrating power in the hands of just a few individuals because they don’t have to buy as many people and it is a more efficient use of their lobbying funds. For instance there are only 435 representatives in the house and 100 senators. With a minimal investment let’s say $200,000 dollars per individual you could wield substantial weight in Washington D.C. for about $107 million dollars, a minor expense in exchange for control of trillion dollar economies around the world.

What you and everybody misses is that there is no such thing as a trade deal.
These are political statements which involve much more than trade.
Many people come to the table with their hands out having to do with kickbacks.
Look at Hillary. We agree to be nice to people and, because we are so nice, take advantage of us such as in the Mexican border problem. They hold us hostage and threaten that if we do something about the border they will violate some trade agreement.
Here is another great example. The TPP requires us to pay india and china billions to clean up their air and we promise to clean up ours to clean room standards.
So lets talk some common sense first and see what Trumps common sense approach
does before we comment. Carry a big stick and use it if you really have to but it is rarely needed.
