Golden Age

The Golden Age of Trump Is More Like The Age of Pig-Iron

Posted on by Helena

THE GOLDEN AGE:

Tariffs.  Trump continues to push his net tariff income of trillions when the net collection after rebating Big Corporations is $61 Billion. The COST to American’s who picked up 90% of the Tax – hundreds of BILLIONS.  The accounting for the Tariffs is placed within four different federal agencies guaranteeing that they don’t interact and can easily manipulate the numbers:

  • US Customs and Border Protection collects the tariffs at ports. Commissioner, Rodney Scott. Workforce – 67,000.
  • The Office of US Trade Representatives develops overall trade and policies. Ambassador, Jamison Greer. Workforce – 240.
  • The US International Trade Commission oversees the plot and takes trade injury complaints. Chairman, Brett Doyle. Workforce – 1200
  • The International Trade Administration handles enforcement. Under Secretary, William Kimmitt. Workforce – 2200

The Overseer for these four agencies is Howard Lutnick as Commerce Director – and Trump Handler. Lutnick was instrumental in advising Trump on his Cabinet picks including Scott Bessent from the Soros Fund Management. But it was Larry Kudlow, Bannon and Roger Stone who told Trump to nominate Scott Bessent. 

Larry Kudlow: With barely a degree in history, Kudlow’s first job was at the Federal Reserve as a financial analyst. He then joined the Reagan Administration as a financial analyst in the Office of Management and Budget. Kudlow was born and raised Jewish and converted to Roman Catholicism in late 1990 as he entered rehab for cocaine and alcohol addiction. His Net Worth is estimated to be in the range of $2 million to $80 million…

Steve Bannon: Self proclaimed Zionist is the brawn behind finding a means of a Trump 3rd term in direct conflict with the US Constitution. Several ideas have been verbalized, but none are legal. He has also been a prominent voice in the anti-immigration movement.  Demographically, 73% of ICE deportations are not criminals, they are men ages 15 to 45, no criminal record, place of origin – Mexico and Central America. Of those with a criminal record, 93% were convicted of a nonviolent misdemeanor, such as a traffic incident.

The question remains – Why would Bannon, Kudlow and Stone encourage Trump to appoint a George Soros protégé to Secretary of The Treasury? Bessent was at Soros side when they broke the Bank of England and hailed it as a Victory! 

Peter Navarro plays a role in Trump’s trade policies and the Golden Age hype. Navarro is responsible for the fringe belief that canceling trade with countries which produce a US Trade Deficit. A statement that is righteously mocked on social media as devoid of intellect. But Trump has the economic acumen of a toad and continues to parrot the claim that canceling all trade with 100 countries contributing to the US Trade Deficit would save America $1.5 Trillion…

  • Trade deficit for 2025 was $901.5 Billion including goods AND services (Personally opposed to including services). The services surplus was $340 Billion meaning the Goods Deficit was actually – $1.24 Trillion. Translating to – Manufacturing.
  • The concept of ‘trade’ is to import what you don’t have, what you don’t manufacture, and what isn’t available internally. Cancelling those imports without having another source in place is economic death.

While Trump’s personal choice for the Fed Chairman was Warsh, he now acts as though the rate hike effected by Warsh is anti-Trump. Gaslighting comes to mind.  Warsh is Jewish, a lawyer, and incompetent  to serve in this position – but that would pertain to 100% of Trump’s picks via his Advisors.

The claim is that Warsh raised the reserve rate due to ‘stubborn inflation’.  IF Trump wasn’t aggrandizing the Golden Age, IF Trump had released truthful employment numbers, IF Bessent hadn’t forced Japan into spiraling interest rates which triggered T-Bill selloffs and a hyper interest Bond Market, IF Bessent, in all his incompetence didn’t buy back said T-Bills with money the Treasury had to borrow – we still wouldn’t have a Golden Age – maybe more like a Pig-Iron Age.

But Trump’s narcissistic Ego is yugely larger than his love of America.

Golden Age:  The concept originally comes from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, where poets described a time of ultimate innocence and peace before human society declined.  Hesiod is considered the first to coin the phrases and adoption of metals to describe different histories of civilizations. He is though to have been alive during the time of Homer 650 BC.  The oldest manuscript of his work Theogony is dated from the 13th or 14th century AD.

The concept was further refined by Ovid who lived between 43 BC and 17 AD, in his Metamorphoses, which spans the history of the world from its creation to Caesar.  He assigned four “metal ages” (golden, silver, bronze, and iron).

Trump’s National Defense Strategy 2026 – Twalette Water

Posted on by Helena

November 2025, Trump published the National Security Strategy for the US.  In his opening statement he stated that over the course of eight months Trump personally settled eight raging conflicts including Israel and Iran.  “Bringing the nation – and the world back from the brink of catastrophe and disaster!”   Gloating that Trump has cemented his legacy as the President of Peace.

Touting his nonintervention ideology, without imposing social change and sovereign rights.  Three months later, the entire strategic annihilation of Iran, Cuba, Lebanon, and now possibly Turkey are on the table as Trump assesses the war in Iran will take upwards of 6 weeks…  When has a President accurately determined the length of any war?  At a potential cost in the Trillions!

January 2026, Trump released his National Defense Strategy for 2026.  The first sentence:  “For too long the US Government neglected – or even rejected – putting Americans and their concrete interests first”.  When striking Iran, Trump’s rhetorical comment to a press query was he didn’t care what the polls said Americans wanted. 

IRAN:  “Although Iran has suffered severe setbacks over recent months, it appears intent on reconstituting its conventional military forces.  Iran’s leaders have also left open the possibility that they will try again to obtain a nuclear weapon, including by refusing to engage in meaningful negotiations.”

NORTH KOREA:  A veiled threat emerges in the document that Trump intends to attack North Korea given they have nuclear capable weapons and are thus a threat to America. 

Essentially, the document is a Bravado autobiographical account of Trump as Genghis Khan marauding every country that does not agree to his occupation.  As though Trump himself is wearing a military uniform and slashing his enemies in a battle of historic dystopia.  Peace via War.  The concept of building a new world order under the pretext of peace via war is a world built on fear.  A world built on fear is a house built on sand.

The MacroEconomic Effect of War: 

According to Middle East Eye, Trump has already spent the equivalent of the FY 2025 Defense Budget for FY 2026 which began October 1st.   The Golden Age – is how Trump describes his Peace efforts.  IF in fact this war lasts six weeks, without any shipping and trade thru the Strait of Hormuz, global economies will feel the pain as oil reaches $100 per barrel, natural gas potentially triples, and revenues for the Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar disappear.  The Golden Age is a hype we won’t see in our lifetimes.

TRADE.  Measured in goods and services.  Services includes tourism, transportation, finance,   All airspace in the Middle East is effectively shut down as bombs blast everywhere.  Dubai’s tourism is the third largest in the world.  Vacant.   Qatar’s airport was hit.   Yet it appears these countries support Trump’s War.  A completely counter-productive dedication of self annihilation.  Iran has declared the finale will be epic and ruins will take decades to recover.  Who will pay?  Global economies will be in ration mode.  How will America pay the interest on a $45 trillion debt when the bill comes due? 

Did anyone in the DoW or White House draft a Business Plan for how all the variables interplay along different scenario’s of time, inventory, and economy?  From the looks on the faces of Hegseth and Caine, I would guess the answer is a resounding – NO.

However, a dutiful Israeli journalist has called for all antiwar opponents to be arrested and deterred in an internment camp.  The reasoning?  America is fighting the ‘dark forces of Shia Islam’.  Whose darkness is defined as believers in Jesus and God/Allah.  Once again portraying Christians and Muslims as one and the same from the Secular Ba’al forces in Israel.  This.  Our Greatest Ally.  While the cowards of Kingdoms shred their last remaining dignity in siding with bombing of compatriot Muslims in defense of Zionists.

SHAME.

While Trump thinks his maneuvering will cause China insurmountable harm, this too has caveats:  China’s imports from the US include:  Industrial machinery, Electronics, Agriculture products and Energy – much of these imports can be replaced;  Brazil can increase exports for soy, corn and petroleum.  Canada is shifting its exports to China amidst the US RIFF.  India’s Modi doesn’t seem to care who what or where and will gladly boost exports to China.  And of course – Russia.  Still the Rare Earth Ball is in China’s court despite Trump’s frantic search for new sources.

A Big Stick – Rare Earth’s are necessary to restock the diminished inventory of American weapons as a direct result of 4 years in Ukraine.  Defense Stocks are celebrating the war with stock prices rising without acknowledging the absolute fact that their productivity could easily come to an absolute – STANDSTILL.  Due Diligence.
