The self-proclaimed “King of Cheap Debt” President Trump is going to run the economy hot… no matter the consequences.

The U.S. is currently running a $3 trillion deficit. What’s astonishing is that the U.S. is doing this despite taking in over $150 billion in tariff revenue. Put another way, DESPITE revenues increasing, the Trump administration is still spending so much money that the deficit as a percentage of GDP is rolling over again.

On top of this, the Trump administration has made it clear it wants stocks in a bubble. The President is openly calling for the Fed to cut rates even though the stock market is already at all-time highs!

Not content with mere verbal aggression, the Trump administration is taking active steps to co-opt the Fed. The most recent move consisted of firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud. This is definitively an appropriate move (Fed governors are not above the law), but more importantly, it opens the door for the President to “stack” the Fed board with handpicked individuals (he recently installed former Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Stephen Miran to replace Fed Governor Adriana Kugler who resigned earlier this year). As a result of this, the majority of voting Fed members will soon be Trump picks who are all too eager to start cutting rates and printing money again.

Put simply, the President is going to FORCE the Fed to ease one way or another. And this, combined with the Trump administration’s fiscal spending, is opening the door to a monstrous stock market bubble AND an inflationary storm.

Bonds have figured out what’s coming: the 30-year U.S. Treasury has broken its secular bull market and is now consolidating around at levels not seen since 2008. If this bond breaks down further from here, the U.S. will enter an inflationary storm.

THIS is why precious metals are trading at all-time highs. It’s why prices keep rising throughout the U.S. economy no matter what the official data says. And it’s why you NEED to take action now to prepare your portfolio for what’s coming.

This is literally a ONCE in a lifetime opportunity. The U.S. has had a debt problem for decades… but the great inflationary collapse looks to finally be arriving now.
