I’ll just say that his administration has a ways to go …
I don’t like that “MemeCoin” business either.

But he gets things done, in a commercial world. The art of the deal is all about understanding psychology, not being smart. Second hand car salesmen, real estate agents, drug and arms dealers all understand this. All good salesmen do, really. Politicians are not generally smart, all they have to do is promise to spend more of everybody else’s money than their rivals to get the vote. Trump didn’t do that, he worked his psychologies on the population tapping into their desire for change from a dynamic character. Winning that race against two seriously stupid bland opponents wasn’t difficult.
What’s disappointing is that he doesn’t seem to have learned from the first time around. Lots of talk, then a watering down of appointments, DOGE sounds fantastic with an image of Elon carrying a sink in your mind and we’ll know in a week if it stands a chance but worst of all there’s a lack of substance in his recent actions, especially $TRUMP. This is not the way a serious statesman operates. It occurs to me that in the one day before his inauguration he’s fleeced people of $6bn (the 20% float of the coin x its $30bn ‘valuation’) which is multiples of what Brandon scammed in half a century.
The smart thing to do would be to let his appointees get on with their jobs. I doubt he can do that, it’s not part of his personality not to interfere. Very controlling. Appointing RFK and then entertaining Billy boy shows he’s in two minds about health; or, maybe, he has no idea at all. He didn’t the first time around. So it looks like it’ll be Trump the loose cannon again.
He can’t be that smart or he would be hanging blame for bubble land on the commies – unless of course he is one.
I guess he’s never heard of the Presidential Cycle.
I thought he was smart.
If he was, he would be setting proper policy right out of the gate (putting the blame on the commies where it belongs).
Instead, we have a bunch of idiots promoting cryptos.
You can’t help but worry (he works for the crazy international banking families).
If you know what I mean.
Cheers mate
Lunch with Bill Gates.
Meme coin. As you say, wow.
Vaccine skeptics removed from RFK’s team.
My optimism is rapidly evaporating too.
I don’t share your optimism.
He’s not wasting any time in getting the blow0ff crypto gambling mania going … with a meme Friday night (designed to take advantage of his inauguration Monday).
He’s out for number one as far as I can see.
Any President that would do something so irresponsible needs to be questiioned in my opinion … to add to all the other reasons.
Sorry to say … it does not make me happy at all.
What a mess he is going to create if allowed to let fantasy land loose in these markets.
Wow is all I can say.
Yes not too much was accomplished in Trump’s first term. Too be fair there was a mountain of opposition for him and BS legal troubles. This time it sure looks like he’s got the cabinet to get stuff done, plus better numbers in the legislature.
We’ll know soon whether or not he’s schmoozing with the WEF. I sure don’t want to hear of the Feds advocating any CBDCs etc.
Cheers
PS I like it that so far the world’s leaders like talking to him instead of Dementia Joe.
Let’s hope Gates is lying. (not a stretch for him)
The problem is Trump has proven he will do anything to save the economy. Or so he says.
It’s either that or he is corrupt, using misdirection, and lying a lot.
Only time will tell.
What did he accomplish in his first term to protect your liberty on a lasting basis?
Not much, if anything.
You judge people by their actions – not their promises.
Let’s hope not! Gates and all the others who still advocate the jab should be in prison!
Know them by their fruits …
Yes, according to Bill, they are going to accelerate vaccine innovation (because The Donald is a warp speed kind of guy).

Went back and found your long-term GDX chart. We are still above that downtrend line as far as I can tell. In an earlier post you made reference to the Aussie dollar as a precursor to a rise in pm’s I believe.
This troubles me because the HUI also broke above it’s 50 and 200 dma this week. It troubles me because the scum just loves to sell at these points although everything appears to be in-line for a move higher in the shares – at least chart wise. We’re in a small uptrend and nowhere near overbought.
I’m just not sure if the GDX can go higher without the SM.
I am curious to see what the aussie dollar looks like on a performance basis to GDX.
Bill Gates ‘Impressed’ With Trump’s Interest in Global Health During Three-Hour Dinner

Was just talking to a buddy about Fettermen. I couldn’t believe he was elected in the first place, but he has become at least the new Joe Manchin of the Senate Democrats. I think he’s for RFK Jr. and since there are a few RINO’s that are wobbly on RFK, I’m hoping Fettermen puts him over the top.
It seems Fettermen has some common sense. He’s going to catch a lot of hell from Schumer and his company of crazies.
“I dunno what’s going on. The older I get, the less I know.”
Amen brother. I’m with you.
Course the metals looked like garbage. Is there any doubt that it was option related action in gold at the $2700 level? Silver seemed to be all about closing the futures market at $31 right on the money. Criminals do what they will.
Rates closed positive with the dollar, so there’s that. We caught a serious break with the shares, HUI broke above the 50 dma although everyone here knows that means zilch. Not sure about Maddog’s chart on the GDX, but breakout in pm’s are made to be sold.
Funny how that doesn’t bother the SM or Bitcoin, it was up $5K today. We live in a clown world, nothing is real anymore, although I do hope that when Trump arrives on the seen with his cabinet picks, prison is going to be real for a lot of big named politicians. He has to completely wipe out the deep state or be consumed by it later. Monday is where the rubber meets the road, really hoping he comes thru.
Going to be interesting next week, hopefully we can resume our snails trend higher.
You can’t have severe physical shortages lasting for decades without something happening to prices. Paper might be used to manipulate prices short term, but you can’t use paper in solar panels, electrical circuits, jewellery, switches, batteries – something would have cracked long ago.
Rare earths are a similar thing that regularly crop up with shortages, critical minerals, Chinese domination, Greenland (which has only ever had one mine, for fluorspar, since 1920 or somedate), military importance, electrical revolution, magnets etc. etc. etc. usually to pump the shares of explorers in Greenland, Myanmar, Albania, Australia, bottom of the oceans and yet the price of neodymium (the main rare earth for permanent magnets, used in all electric vehicles), for example, is currently at a third of its 2022 peak, and below its 2011 and 2018 peaks. With no new supply.

And look below the chart at the movement in other rare metals. Now, if you can show me someone who, a year ago, said “Sell cobalt, buy germanium” then I would say I think you’ve found me an expert.
I dunno what’s going on. The older I get, the less I know. But the precious has performed ok over the last few years so I’ll stick with what is working.
Let me tell you a secret.
The Dutch government wants to seize 3000 farms to meet new climate goals.
Ireland plans on slaughtering 200,000 cows to meet new climate goals.
The secret is that these climate goals come directly from the UN Agenda 21.
Years ago…ten at least ? , went to a national steak restaurant at lunch time and tried to order a steak meal . Their computerized order system had crashed , so order entry to the fully staffed kitchen would not work . I said “just go to the window to the kitchen and tell them what I want . They have all the ‘makings’ on hand and I can pay cash . ”
Corporate rules precluded order entry or cash payment without the internet link to corporate passthrough .
I never returned .
AI and energy. Some companies in bitcoin are working on dedicated but apparently runs a little slower right now in alternative energy solutions.
Trump mentioned in one of his interviews that as far as AI he wants dedicated energy systems put up next to their businesses. What kind I don’t know.
Buygold, Paper covers rock lol Yeah they like to paper up rocks and throw them around, gold rocks. Paper burns but the rocks will still be there, even if they can change form, in any form they still will still have value be anywhere to somewhere. I think Bitcoin works a little like silver and partially gold after silver not just to be out of the devalued paper but in liquidity problems the phyzz can be drawn upon if needed.
So sorry to see Germany in the grasp of the Eurocrat lunatics! Unelected bureaucracies are acting as royalty against the interests of the people. It looks like the situation will only get worse. If they cancel the elections? What then?
Sheesh
Lord Bless Elon Musk ![]()
The German globalists are really loseing the plot……since Musk interviewed Weidel they have gone batshit crazy……Lord knows what they will do next.
Cancelling the elections on a jumped up excuse is highly possible.
