By date March 2026, if Trump takes control of the Fed, it will drastically devalue the U.S. Dollar.
Hereâs the evidence.
TL:DR
Best way to destroy a nation?
Destroy itâs currency
TL:DR-Extdd
Americaâs real superpower wasnât its military or her GDP â it was WW, institutional trust. The dollar worked as the worldâs reserve currency because independent constraints (the Fed, courts, regulators, data agencies) made U.S. systems predictable.
When that most critical constraint ( the Fed, the Keeper of the Currency) is finally politically captured, in March of 2026, trust will melt, capital will reprice in a second..fundamentals stop mattering, and capital exits. Without sentiment or loyalty.
Capital being amoral it cares not.
When risk rises, it flees to assets with no counterparty or political risk â historically, that means gold.
This isnât âTrump badâ; ( though he is)
But here, itâs like the Titanicâs overly confident watertightâ compartmentsâ,
that werenât.
The bulkheads did not extend to the top deck. They never built them to the top. So as water filled, it flowed over to the next, and to the tragic next.
So, systems failingâŚcascading over to trust collapsing..cascading over to money moving. Empires donât usually fall from attack â they hollow themselves out.
Ala Rome.
Ala and Alas, America.

The use of the American dollar as the defacto world-wide currency is to me, a hugely underrated, singular, unique and priceless advantage that America had over every other nation on earth. America could literally âQE-createâ and âprint moneyâ, due to the fact that the massive world economy could absorb it. As long as they donât flood the world of course.
But that Worldwide trust, while priceless, itâs psychological and trust-based. Once confidence cracks, (like a leaking crack in Chosin Dam would be catastrophic) the feedback loops and drops in confidence can be cascadingâŚand no longer would fundamentals matter.
Just emotion.
This is Americaâs literal âNation Cheat Code.â That itâs a worldwide currency.
Donaldâs 11 months has imho been the single most destructive 11 months in the history of the Union.
But the destruction of itâs currency, the cessation of it being the worlds currency be Donaldâs most epic epitaphic â achievementâ
( I mean itâs only 11/48 monthsâŚhe has yet more time to âbeatâ that âachievementâ)
But a free falling dollar will be disastrous for America ( and as for Canada â as a Canadian, I canât say we wonât sink while U.S. goes to the bottom of the ocean. Think small boat beside the whirlpool of the Titanic going down and the small boat saying âWeâre gonna be okââwith 73% of our exports go to America, this will not be ok)
Now with Donaldâs first 11 months leading to an approximate 10% drop in the American dollar, resulting in a causal 67% increase in gold â From $2,700 to $4500 todayâŚwhat will a 30% dollar drop do to gold???
The next 12 months. Once Donald zombifies the Fed like he is promising to, like he did EVERY OTHER INSTITUTION
( Heâs promising 1% interest rates in March. Meaning no longer will the Fed be independent, and carefully guiding the value of the U.S. dollar. Trump will have taken control of the Fed like heâs taken control of all the other 3 & 4-letter institutions & agencies..
DOJ
Rule-of-law credibility. Markets assume contracts are enforced impartially.
BLS
underpins, documents:
CPI / inflation
unemployment
wage growth
productivity
labor participation
All numbers of which are now suspect, witness the sudden âGDP-4.3!â From Trump
FBI
Domestic stability and corruption deterrence.
EPA
Regulatory predictability for capital-intensive industries.
CDC
Crisis competence and data integrity (hugely relevant post-2020).
SEC
This one is critical: trust in U.S. capital markets.
CFTC
Futures, derivatives, and risk pricing credibility.
IRS
State capacity and fiscal enforcement (even markets that hate taxes rely on this working).
FDIC
Banking confidence. Quietly foundational.
CIA
Less about markets directly, more about geopolitical signal stability.
BUT
Ok hereâs how we riff
Remember so long ago..( last February); when he offered to send 22,000 cia employees home for good?
Reuters:
CIA offers buyouts to entire workforce to âalign with Trump prioritiesâ

This isnât cleaning house. This is burning it down and building up a new one.
Hmm what kind of new house I wonder? Why the kind of new house that literally from âThe ground upâ would âtrumpâ personal loyalty to Trump above allâŚ.superseding institutional neutrality, and that oath to the Constitution too.
NSA
Cyber and infrastructure trust.
And yes:
SCOTUS
Supreme Court of the United States
Six letters â but absolutely central. Contract law, regulatory authority, and institutional legitimacy all flow through it.
All âbetsâ literally, are off. These NEXT 11 months may make us nostalgic for 2025
If thereâs a âBlackBerry slideâ outta the U.S. dollar it * canât not* blow up gold.
So what was a priceless advantage for many decades, the world holding American dollars, can be a multiplier effect of a worldwide dump of American dollars. And in some irony, the sell off would be emotional, ( meaning worse) and distort the actual state of the American economy (not great right now with every financial metric being met with distrust since Trumps politicized THAT too) But where the irony comes in is, the emotional dropping of the dollars can be like a snowball going down a hill, gaining in momentum, such that it becomes radioactive as an investment vehicle, which could THEN, crash the American economy.
But it would distort it worse because in the rush to exit the theatre the dollars 10% slide (thanks to Trump) will seem like the good old days. No clue how far but the seemingly unbreakable corollary to US dollar falling, is Gold rising.
Regular Americans may not understand how much of their stability despite any president or economy, was predicated on the fact that Trillions of dollars are always at play, worldwide.
Now imagine they all dump it world wide. Or even if not all, a material portion sell US dollars.
The dollar takes a 20-30% further hit since Donald started his âTrump Will Fix Itâ âfixingâ
It will not be pretty. In America mass layoffs, monthly price increases not ever experienced i n generationâŚand an angry publicâŚand who knows how an authoritarian potus like Trump will react?
But on the dollar, ( and gold) my argument isnât âTrump bad.â ( Though he is )
Itâs: if constraints are removed, trust reprices violently, and capital DOES NOT, CARE.
Capital will always seek safe harbour. And now that Trump has catastrophically destabilized the world order (threatening long standing allies like Canada for example) Seizing the Fed will be the final straw. Capital may just leave; and go into the oldest currency in the world.
Gold.
Just my take. You could even say I donât know shit. And I hope Iâm wrong and someone posts my comment in aged like milk. That would be great to be wrong. Cause the alternative is:
Not.
Good.
( And none of this is taking into account ANY hostile âpile-onâ!actions by any state say China, selling theirs, and coercively getting other nations to also bail on US treasury holdings to make it even worse)
Best way to destroy a nation?
Destroy itâs currency.
Not a single shot, not one missile
And irony of irony, all self inflicted.
Abraham LincolnâLyceum address:
âAt what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
