Trump says he deserves an “A+++++” grade on the economy.
“Clearly not,” laughs Ryan McMaken, “Give him a D+.”
Why?
Because Trump pushes crony capitalism (his government takes part-ownership of companies).
Because of his tariffs (mostly paid by us, not foreigners),
McMaken, editor in chief at the Mises Institute, joins John Stossel to grade Trump’s second term. Among the issues they address: The Border, DOGE, debt and energy.
The federal government owns nearly one-third of the nation. In the West, the ratio is even higher, as the federal government owns almost HALF the land.
Since we’re going broke, the feds should sell some.
Local owners with their own interests at stake will take better care of it than DC bureaucrats thousands of miles away. Here’s more from John Stossel.
The Federal Reserve just dropped a bombshell many people missed. The bankers openly admitted they’re exploring a gold revaluation.
What does that actually mean? Could it reset the dollar… wipe away America’s debt… or even spark the biggest shift in wealth we’ve ever seen?
In this eye-opening interview, I sit down with gold expert Collin Plume to dig into the history, the hidden math, and why central banks around the world might already be preparing for it. Here’s more from Man In America.
In a few days, former congressman George Santos will report to prison for seven years. He’s decided to tell the truth about Washington before he goes. Here’s more from Tucker Carlson.
Benjamin Fulford says as much in his weekly summary of world-shaking events. Is it a prediction or a statement of fact? That’s not clear.
But Fulford — a Canadian journalist based in Japan — maintains that the nation of Israel will cease to exist and will instead become a new nation of Judea, under Turkish protection. Palestine residents will be able to rebuild their homes. How about Israelis? Some might stay, while others will be granted relocation to the United States.
Fulford also predicts a settlement to the Ukraine War, with Russia receiving lands east of the Dnieper River as well as control of the port of Odessa. Ukraine will be permitted to use the port of Odessa without paying any duties.
He also states that the federal debt of the United States will be forgiven, but concessions will be made to Asian nations that hold considerable debt, concessions allowing for construction of new factories within the U.S. domestic territory.
There’s lots more here — talk of the World Economic Forum and another starling prediction — the United Nations will come to an end, replaced by a new global entity no longer based in New York.
Our government is now so deep in debt, that taxpayers must spend a trillion dollars a year…
Just on the interest! Here’s more from John Stossel.
