We are now 24 hours into the Trump era and the sky hasn’t fallen. The world hasn’t ended. In fact, nothing at all has changed.
The wars continue on, the IRS continues to extort people in the US for nearly half of everything they make, the NSA continues to spy on all and the Federal Reserve continues to inflate the currency all the while impoverishing the lower and middle classes.
You might say, “It’s only been 24 hours, give him some time,” but the fact of the matter is that Trump has not talked about changing any of that. At most he’s talked about “auditing” the Federal Reserve. But, there is no point to an audit. We know what the Federal Reserve does. It needs to be shut down effective immediately.
But, as we pointed out yesterday, even if Trump did want to do all the right things in terms of bringing freedom back to the USSA it won’t come without a massive, biblical level collapse of the current system.
There are, of course, some things Trump has done to fulfill pledges already. In his first executive order, Donald Trump asked government agencies to remove parts of the Affordable Care Act - Obamacare - following up on his pledge to do away with the the Act entirely.
The one-page order tells federal officials to reduce the "economic and regulatory burden" of the Affordable Care Act before it is done away with entirely.
But problems are much bigger than certain issues. Whether Trump is “good” or “bad” doesn’t make all that much difference. The die has already been cast. The US is bankrupt. And maybe that is one valuable skill Trump has, dealing with bankruptcy situations. Because that is exactly what he will be dealing with.
We realize that many people are thrilled Barack O’Bomber is gone. And so are we! And we also realize many people are hopeful that Trump will fix the giant mess in Washington, District of Criminals.
On this point we are less hopeful. Sure, he’ll fix some things. That’s how this entire two party democracy charade is played. Each side takes its turn doing something heinously awful so that the people feel vindicated when they tick the box for the other party who fixes a few of those things.
In the end, it’s just the same old game though. But this game is nearing its end.
Either good Trump will engineer and negotiate a default on the debt, causing the biggest financial and economic crisis in world history. Or bad Trump will continue increasing the debt and the Federal Reserve printing money to finance it, causing the eventual hyperinflation of the US dollar and the biggest financial and economic crisis in world history.
For this reason it is best to be prepared for the worst.

Trump has already signed an executive actions saying he's going to withdrawal from TPP and renegotiate NAFTA. Huge wins for the people.
Lol.
Different boss, same corporation.
I have a question surrounding the events of today and you seem like a good person to ask. Watching all the women's marches today protesting Trump being elected and the media's touting how upset these marchers are. Please tell me this was more then a gender issue or is it because their candidate lost and any man who beat her have to be the devil incarnate. How much of this perceived hatred of Trump is just women feeling betrayed by men. We did not support their candidate even though she tried to manipulate her way to the White House and was caught. My girlfriend blames the Russians and me as a male for keeping Hillary from winning. Doesn't want to talk about the emails, her foundation or anything else she may or may not have done. This is all about Gender and I challenge anyone to debate that. Told my girlfriend that Gandhi could have won this year and they still would have protested.
Have you even remotely looked at the things Trump has said?
Do remotely know why he said those things? He tapped into the group of society that feels it is being DE-legitimized by the vocal minority and press that labeled them ignorant and or white trash. This group of middle-class multi-generational working class have watched their life styles slowly erode while being told they are not supporting the minority classes . They watched Clinton pander to the celebrities and film and media groups giving the impression that this was going to be the new reality. What do you think Trump saw? What group was not being addressed by the Clinton campaign? Why do you think he attacked those groups being championed by the Democrats? This new media fueled society we live in has jaded our perceptions of everything. Maybe we ALL need to take a step back and NOT listen to the sound bites and just watch what is really going on.
We all know he exploited racist sentiment to win. What I don't get is how you don't understand why that's motivated so many people against him.
He's been recorded bragging about sexual assault, but no... I'm sure it's "feeling betrayed by men."
Is this a real account of yours? I hadn't realised you were here, I've watched Anarchast occasionally but thought you were only on youtube.
I think your right in terms about who actually owns the system but I wouldn't be so sure, Trump has actually been talking to quite a few free market advocates privately, even people who want to bring back the gold standard.
He's one for confounding expectations, but we'll have to see whether he can really do anything or whether he'll end up like John F. Kennedy.
Yeah, it is jeff berwicks account. I joined Steemit the same time he did because he was talking about Steemit to all his youtube followers. A lot of interesting things have happened with him on here since then, but yeah it's legitimately his account.
Watched your youtube about Steemit, that's what got me interested. Maybe it was a fluke I ran across your Steemit blog. Good luck for me I hope.
Same as our pile of crap government in the UK, All useless at what they do unless it's for themselves
Tell that to anyone who had a pre-existing condition.
Upvoted.
I find it rather interesting that multiple Simpsons episodes showed Trump as president:
I also doubt that he will shut down Al-CIA-duh (now known as IS, ISIL, ISIS, what-the-f*ck-ever) since he was just saying that he loves the CIA and the "great" work that they do in his speech there yesterday.
As long as the Elites control money, energy and food, they care not who makes its laws.
Instead of fighting, render their tyranny obsolete. Create your own energy, buy local, use cryptocurrencies and spread the word. Starve the beast, de-fund it.
