I guess this is not especially contradictory but it may be of use for a contrast.
“So the one guy, Trump, who is actually fighting for the survival of the dollar is causing its demise?”
Trump has to devalue the dollar, a lot. Look up The Triffin Dilemma and you can see the complicated problem Trump is having to work around to save the US economy.
What ya going to do when Elon mines a space rock and crashes the price of gold?
Evidently they changed how they defined “deportations” just going by a quick google search.
This is as bad as the climate cultist. Been hearing this for years.
Perot. Inspector Poirot?
I thought the national debt today is slightly less than the national debt on January 20. I must have been misinformed.
Good time to sell gold and buy it back under $2500.

the trend in gold is upward and will be for as long as the central banks are continously buying gold.
Trump wants a lower Dollar.
I probably am, because I’m solid on economics. However, the Chinese government is big on putting Chinese spies wherever they can to give bad advice
He dropped the stack of paper on the secretary's desk and stayed there to talk to her. In a nervous mindless way he flipped a light switch on the wall off and on a couple of times and Ross Perot in his high pitched voice ran out of his office shouting, "we're having a brown out, we're having a brown out and ran down to the elevator.
The secretary said that was his office light switch you messed with, you better get downstairs. He took the stairs and was there in the PBX room when Ross ran in. They looked at the printer logs and didn't see a power alarm at all.
From then on, I could only imagine Ross Perot shouting we're at DefCon One, we're at DefCon One.
Every trend in history has reversed direction. True of stocks, real estate, gold, tulips, internet companies etc
Interesting discussion.
I’ve been investing in gold since 2010. I was concerned then about the weakness of the dollar. And, as you are well aware, the rising price of gold is a direction reflection of the weakening dollar.
The dollar is weaking for quite obvious reasons: trade imbalance, deficit spending, ever increasing national debt which = money printing thus inflation.
While Trump may slow the dollar’s decline, I don’t see him being able to reverse the process. Too much of our national spending is politically untouchable — and cannot be controlled. And then there is the 1 trillion/year interest on that debt. And defense spending.
The only method which can be used to prop up the dollar is to back it with some tangible stuff: gold or silver or oil or ??
Depending upon how much gold the US actually possesses — and this is currently unknown — to reset the currency with a gold backing would vastly increase the dollar value of gold to $10,000-$20,000 per ounce. I have seen higher estimates and lower, but all are much higher than gold is trading now.
In short, I don’t see how — absent some miraculous occurrence — gold can decrease in dollar value over the mid to long term.
Given that analysis, one can trade gold, buying the dips, selling the spikes and do fairly well.
Yeah sure. there may be short term volatility.
What’s more — Trump has caused about 5.8 trillion investment promises over the next 10 years. Further his tarriffs are going to adjust monetary flows in and out of the USA. They are usually about minus 3 billion daily. Trumps tarriffs may zero that out or create a net positive monetary flow to the USA.
This would all greatly affect the dollar and gold and crypto in ways I don’t pretend to understand.
But that’s something that plays out over years and not months.
