Trump's fantasy 'Golden Dome'

Trump announced plans for the "Golden Dome" system a week ago, saying it would eventually cost around US$175 billion and would be operational by the end of his term in 2029.

Experts say the scheme faces huge technical and political challenges, and could cost far more than he has estimated to achieve its goals....it would cost Canada US$61 billion to be part of the system, said Trump, who has repeatedly called for the US' northern neighbor to become the 51st state.  CNA

Everything to Trump is about making money. The F35 scam had drawn in many suckers into the scheme and made to pay and pay with the Americans cleverly throwing in problems after problems and needing more and more fundings. The sucker countries in the scheme must have dug a big hole in their pockets to pay the American manufacturers to patch up holes after holes of a trouble ridden aircraft.

Trump and his trillionaire gang came out with another trillion dollar scheme on a fictional AI infrastructure that needs hundreds of billions to help American students write essays. Unfortunately, China immediately threw in the DeepSeek to pull the rug under their feet. This trillion dollar scheme is now a non starter, but not before squeezing a few hundred billions from the Arabs, promising to sell this fiction to the rich Arabs.  No one in his right mind would want to spend hundreds of billions to be able to write good essays using AI, when they could do the same with a fraction of the cost.

Trump's latest scam, a Golden Dome, to cover the American continent. This is supposed to be impenetrable, better than the overhyped Israeli Iron Dome, because this one is made in gold, not iron. So it is going to cost dearly. The Americans would be buying all the golds in the market for this dome, and America would look like a super gigantic Muslim mosque with a golden dome over it.

For starter, Trump is throwing a number like US$175 billion, so much cheaper than the fictional AI infrastructure. So cheap cannot be good for sure. Must be full of holes. No amount of bragging can such a dome be built and be bullet proof. And even if Congress is crazy enough to approve it, like the Mexican Wall, the final cost would be at least 10 times or a 100 times more. Very likely it would be stillbirth, like the Mexican Wall.  Who is likely to profit from spending such a big sum of money? Trump is now more greedy than the MIC, after learning their recipe to rob from the American taxpayers that would ultimately be paying for it.

A French cap would likely do a better job than a Golden Dome for safety. Trump thinks the French in Canada would be salivating for his Golden Dome, forgetting that they have French caps in their drawers and willing to cough out US$61 billion to protect them from no one.

William Shakespeare already said all that glitters is Not Gold...so what Golden Dome, it's just golden doom in times of war it's useless with all the super hypersonic missiles, lasers & drones.

Gold is a lot softer than iron. So by definition, it'll fare worse than Israel's iron dome. If the inbred orange dotard knows anything about science, he should have named it titanium instead.

'Golden Dome' or 'Golden Doom'? Trump has a lot of golden ideas to make more money. Golden Visas, golden coins and now golden dome. Trust the man to come up with more, like golden student visas at five million apiece.

Trump visited Saudi Arabia and has been infected with visions of fantasy land or 'Arabian Nights'.

Trump is already the goose laying the golden eggs for his rich cronies with his on and off actions manipulating the stock market. He needs to lay much more golden eggs to make the dome really golden.

America is the most corrupt country in the world. Now everyone is scheming for big contracts to get their 10% cut from the deal. 10% from $175 billion is $17.5 billion. Easy money.

As for effectiveness, ask the Israelis about the Houthi missiles and the holes they have punched in Israel.

If such small country like Israel with a dome cannot keep out missiles, how is USA going to do that? And remember, those missiles that landed in Israel are not the cutting-edge stuff, like hypersonic that does not wait to be shot down.

Trump could also give his Boeing 747 gift from Qatar a golden coating making hay while the sun shines. Understand he is taking this jet for his personal use after he leaves office. That will be the first golden jet in history that only Trump can possess.

A Golden Dome to cover all of USA will need all the stolen gold in Fort Knox and elsewhere, LOL. Those countries with gold for safe keeping in the USA better watch out. If the USA can seize Russia's reserves, it can do the same with all the gold for safekeeping that belongs to other countries.

It boggles my mind as to why countries wanted to keep their gold outside its borders, especially in a country as unstable and roguish as the USA.

The Shangri La Dialogue is the platform for white men to tell their lies and for the coloured people to clap and cheer. After a few rounds, China saw through the scam and refused to send in their Defence Chief to glorify the event. It is a white men's circus. They decide what is important what it not.

What dialogue? It is a platform for the USA to expand it propaganda campaign and to demonize China. China already knew what to expect from previous year's attendance, so no need big guns to attend. Just go through the motion by sending a low-profile team for diplomacy's sake, to tell the world that it sees little benefit to participate and does not want to hype up the importance of the event.

After all, despite all the dialogues of many years, nothing is achieved except invite more provocations.
