Trump Vows to make America richer and stronger

Donald Trump delivered a major economic speech in New York City, outlining plans to reduce the corporate tax rate to 15% and establish a "government efficiency commission" headed by Elon Musk.
He vowed to "make America richer and stronger" if elected in November.
The announcement was made during an address to The Economic Club of New York.
"I am promising low taxes, low regulations, low energy costs, low interest rates, secure borders, low low, low crime and surging incomes for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed, My plan will rapidly defeat inflation, quickly bring down prices and reignite explosive economic growth," Trump said.

Gold standard strategy and the collapse of dollar

The dollar is no longer pegged to gold, but it is still the world's reserve currency. Over 60% of the foreign bank reserves are currently held in US Dollars.
There have been efforts by numerous countries (led by China and Russia) to dethrone the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency. China has been reducing its exposure to the Dollar for a long time, and both China, as well as Russia, have been stocking up on gold in recent times.
Central banks added 650 tons to their reserves in 2019, the second highest shift in 50 years, after the 656 tons added in 2018. Before the 2007-09 financial crisis, central banks were net sellers of gold worldwide for decades. Leading the recent spree has been China, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
China can escape the fate of a dollar collapse by tying the yuan to gold. There is little doubt she has access to sufficient gold. Currently, her interest is to preserve the dollar, not destroy it, because it is the principal means of Chinese foreign interests being secured.

Shiny Sovereignty: Florida Moves Toward Gold and Silver Payments

🏆 Governor Ron DeSantis has signed HB 999, a bill setting the stage for gold and silver to become legal tender in the state.
⌛ Set to take effect by July 1, 2026, the law would allow both government and private entities to voluntarily accept precious metals for debt payments. It also removes certain sales taxes for qualifying gold and silver.
🏦 DeSantis says the move is about financial freedom and pushing back against "government overreach." Coins must meet strict purity standards—99.5% for gold and 99.9% for silver—and be stamped with weight and purity.
🥇🥈 With gold hitting record highs amid economic uncertainty, Florida joins states like Utah in giving precious metals a seat at the financial table.
⚖ Freedom, sovereignty, and shiny currency—Florida is placing its bets on real value.
