Trump Hints at Gold-Backed Reset

April 28, 2025: In a recent interview with The Atlantic, President Donald Trump made a striking assertion, declaring, “I run the country and the world.” The phrase suggests a centralized, commanding role in shaping national and international affairs, reflecting his ongoing narrative of strong leadership.
April 20, 2025: 🏆 Donald Trump’s recent posts slammed “NON-TARIFF CHEATING,” pinpointing currency manipulation as a top threat to fair trade. Echoing his “level playing field” mantra, Trump’s boldest statement—“HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES”—signals a potential global currency reset anchored by America’s 8,133.46 metric tons of gold, dwarfing China’s 2,264.32 and Russia’s 2,335.85 tons.
Targeting nations like China and Japan for allegedly devaluing currencies to boost exports, Trump’s focus on U.S. gold reserves suggests a strategy to counter manipulation by revaluing gold.
This could unlock billions to stabilize the dollar or fund tariffs, reshaping global trade. X posts today amplify the hype, with users debating a shift to gold-backed systems like XRP to rival BRICS’ gold hoarding. As fiat currencies wobble, Trump’s gold-centric rhetoric positions the U.S. to dictate new financial rules—provided it navigates the risks.
