Trump Alarmed on Dollar; Beautiful Sight in L.A.
Former
US President Donald Trump warned that the dollar is poised to lose its
status as world reserve currency – and with it the US’ position atop the
geopolitical totem pole – in an interview with Fox Business on
Thursday.
“Our country is going to hell and we’re not going to
be the big boy,” Trump claimed, arguing that “We have power, but it’s
waning. In fact, it’s waning in terms of our currency.”
Should
the dollar cease to be the world’s reserve currency, “it’s bigger than
losing any war,” the Republican frontrunner continued. While this would
have been “unthinkable” under a Trump presidency, he said, “now people
are thinking about it” – particularly China – putting the US in danger
of being dethroned as global hegemon.
This is even more alarming
given the current state of the US as a country, Trump said. “We are
already reverting to third world status in many ways. You look at our
airport, you look at our terminals, you look at our filthy roads and
broken roads and everything else, we’re like a third-world country.”
Even
as Trump spoke, Los Angeles saw a series of violent flash mob robberies
by gangs that have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars of luxury
goods in brazen daytime raids.
Upmarket stores throughout the
United States’ second biggest city have been targeted by masked groups
who smash through display boxes and grab designer bags and clothes.
Video
clips posted on social media show mobs of up to 50 people rampaging
through high-end retailers, breaking glass and yanking away goods
attached by security cables.
The raids happen in full view of other shoppers, with clerks and security guards seemingly powerless to prevent them.

Trump's last four years in the White House, from 2017 to 2021, was supposed to make America Great Again. It obviously did not happen. Draining the swamp was the first immediate domestic task he undertook when he came to power? Yes he did drain the swamp, but replenishing it with more swampy, slimy and slithering inhabitants, who are now attacking him on behalf of the Democrats. Turncoats like Mike Pence, John Bolton and William Barr are doing him in for good.
ReplyDeleteNow Trump's new war cry is about making 'America Great Again, Again'. And he is going to have to drain the swamp once again, and replenishing it with the same old same old specie. Zelenskyy does not even believe in his rhetoric about being able to bring peace to Ukraine within 24 hours. One clown not believing another clown is really not a funny act anymore. It is dead serious and no clowning matter.
Biden, meanwhile is looking more and more mentally incapable and out of sorts for his re-election. He appears unable to co-ordinate his mouth with his brain. Moreover, there is already clear and apparent signs of stammering in his speeches, with slurring and mixing up words in his deliveries, sometimes incoherent to others. And this is supposed to be the best that the Democrats are putting up for 2024? And horror of horrors, again partnering Kamala Harris, the laughing hyena.
In any case, either Trump or Biden is really out to make the USA into a third world country, if not already one foot there. It is a question now of who can do it faster. Just looking at the homelessness situation, the drug problem, the daylight robberies by mob breaking into high end shops and the law doing nothing about it. I guess this is what they mean by 'Rule of Law' or 'Rule of Lawlessness'. Who is next to follow?
But then, everything in the USA is touted to be rosy, strong economy, strong job creations, strong banking system, strong stock market and strong currency. What else could go wrong? The only things going wrong are in China and Russia, never in the USA.
Where in the World can they reported just overnight every now and then700,000 or 800 000 jobs created.
ReplyDeleteSo many homeless on their streets.
