There's no easy way to explain why stock markets globally are all suffering.
The recent carnage cannot be completely attributed to President Trump's tariffs, which overnight soared to 104% on Chinese imports and also have been imposed on over 100 nations at various percentages. There are many other contributing factors, all of which have stocks in markets around the world headed for an imminent crash, which, honestly, is already well underway.
A useful analogy would be to envision the global financial system as a giant skyscraper rigged with an enormous bomb that is linked by fuses to stock, bond, commodity, FX exchanges, governments, and central banks around the world, each wired with smaller, though no less lethal bombs. Trump's tariffs are fuses, connected to each of the various markets. Those fuses were lit last Wednesday, when Trump unveiled his tariff agenda in a Rose Garden ceremony.
Exchanges have been blowing up, gradually, but the action is accelerating. Stock markets around the world have been reeling and the explosions haven't stopped. There's every reason to believe that the entire house of cards that is the international system of finance, complete with central banks, stock exchanges, bond markets, floating currencies, fractional reserve banking, fiat money, government debt, household debt, leveraged brokerages, hedge funds and all manner of derivate bets like the ones that nearly brought the entire global financial system down in 2008.
When Donald J. Trump was elected president of the United States back in November, one of his most prominent campaign promises was his desire to "drain the swamp," euphemistically referencing the corruption, theft, and villainy that pervaded government in the United States. Most of the people who voted for Mr. Trump agreed that cleaning up the U.S. federal government was long overdue. What they did not understand, and which was never explicitly mentioned was that the "swamp" extended far beyond congress, and federal agencies of the U.S. government.
The "swamp" which Trump vowed to drain included Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the World Trade Organization, World Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF) central banks and governments around the world which enabled massive inflation by creating counterfeit money out of thin air, stock markets, many major corporations and their executives, the global financial and mainstream media complex of propaganda and misinformation and much more.
This is what Trump understands, along with Chairman Xi in China, President Putin in Russia, Prime Minister Modi in India, and probably some other well-connected business and political leaders entrusted with Trump's bold agenda.
President Donald J. Trump has literally nothing to lose. The deep state has tried to kill him twice that the public is aware of, probably many more times. They used every legal means available to keep him out of the White House. They even stole the 2020 election and rigged results in various congressional races to tilt the levers of power toward Democrats and liberals.
They failed.
By igniting the fuse of tariff trauma, President Trump, notable for his book, "The Art of the Deal" has also undoubtably read Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," which he is now waging full force against the deep state, the swamp, the utterly vile, corrupt establishment that seeks to enslave the entire world.
Trump had no choice but to light the fuse that would bring down not just the U.S. government, but Wall Street, the City of London, various other governments around the world, and corporations that have been hiding the truth, cooking the books, and basically lying to everybody all time for many years.
Just this morning, China retaliated by applying an 84% tariff on U.S. imports and overnight issued a White Paper outlining China's position regarding tariffs and trade.
Yesterday, rumors of hedge funds needing a bailout from the Federal Reserve circulated, indicating a severe liquidity event could explode at any time.
Trump, likely with assistance and knowledge from Putin, Modi, and Xi, are blowing up the world's financial system. That's all there is to it because the system is so corrupt, the deep state so deeply entrenched, that it has to be completely demolished and a new system erected in its place. These plans have almost certainly been well-laid and decided upon by the interested parties and are evolving as each day goes by.
The time to exit stocks was last month or even back in February or November of last year. Anybody with significant amounts of the wealth should have been considering trimming back at the very least before Trump lit the fuse of international financial armageddon with his tariffs.
There is still time to save some of your money, get out of the stock market and hold still while all of this carnage unfolds over the next few days, weeks, and months. With any luck, the crash will be short, but very painful for anybody who hasn't heeded the multiple warnings. Cash, gold, silver, anything unconnected to the global financial system is going to outperform stocks by miles.
Today is the final warning. The Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ, which is already down more than 20% are going to decline by as much as 75% from their peaks.
Ask yourself, can I handle losing 30%, 40%, 50% of my money? If the answer is no, you must sell your stocks as quickly as possible because this is not going to end soon or well.
Good luck. You'll need it.
