Trump has spun the wheel and placed all YOUR chips on zero

Your president is playing Russian Roulette . There’s just one bullet in the chamber, he’s spun it and the gun is at the side of YOUR head, not his or any of his rich friends.

Try and make it make sense. Yesterday will be the day in history when Trump made the poor destitute, the middle class poor, leaving the rich planning how to invest their new ill gotten gains in a new private jet, yacht or hide it in some overseas tax haven. The President of the United States is about to literally suck billions out of the real economy for billionaires to hoard. This is their reward for keeping him out of jail and paying the rent on the White House for the next four years.

Trump is not wrong, the treasury will see an influx of hundreds of billions of dollars, but it will be hundreds of billions of YOUR hard earned cash. NOT money from China, Canada or Europe.

Republicans have spent decades claiming to be the party of fiscal responsibility. And they have just put in place the biggest transfer of wealth in American history, while holding a party on the White House lawn to celebrate.

If any Dem president had just put taxes up on American families by $5000, Republicans would be losing their minds today and Fox News would be playing their outrage on a loop. But because they’ve just arranged to steal the money from middle and low income workers, they are celebrating and calling it ‘Liberation Day’. Really they should be calling it ‘Fiscal Subjugation Day’.

All they’ve done, is liberate $5000 from the bank account of every working family in America, in the biggest act of deception in modern American history. This is not me spreading misinformation. It’s a simple FACT. He lied to voters on the campaign trail when he promised he would lower the cost of living. He’s just done the opposite and has the audacity to call the catastrophe about to hit the bottom 95% of Americans, ‘minor disruption’. He’s deceived millions of people who swallowed his lies, telling voters it’s a small price to pay for bread and water tomorrow. Just pause to think about that for a moment.

This is a president who is quite literally about to take food from the mouths of hungry children in America, while tanking an economy that was the envy of the world following the pandemic. Ask yourself this simple question, who benefits most in times of crisis and economic instability? Rest assured, it ain’t the middle or working class. The victims are always the poor and the vulnerable. If you’re a millionaire or a billionaire, you’re planning which tax haven to stash the proceeds of crime in, from the biggest fiscal criminal act in modern times.

If you are on a fixed low income in America today, you are part of Donald Trump’s ‘Final Solution’. You are “neoreactionary” thinker Curtis Yarwin’s proposed future biofuel. Let me wrap some context around what may appear to be some random reference to a guy you may never have heard of. If you were looking for a prince of darkness in this shakespearean tragedy it would be Curtis Yarvin. He’s the antithesis of a liberal thinker, whose ideas have deeply influenced the real danger in the current administration, JD Vance. Much of Yarwin’s proposition is based around taking autocratic power in America.

Just to join up some dots for you, Michael Anton hosted a podcast in which Yarvin articulated his dystopian vision for America. I have included the full podcast below. For reference, you can skip in to about 2 mins 20 in to get past all the intros.

Anton is a writer and academic who Trump has now appointed to a senior role under Marco Rubio. Robert Evans who is an extremism researcher said of Yarvin, “He didn’t fall out of a coconut tree. He emerged into a right wing media space where they had been talking about the evils of liberal media and corrupt academic institutions for decades”. He goes on to say, “What’s unique is his way of rebranding or repackaging old reactionary ideas in a way that appealed to libertarian-minded kids in the tech industry, and in eventually getting some of them to embrace a lot of far-right ideas.”

As you will note, from the podcast, there is discussion about autocratic “Caesarism” as a means of resolving American decadence. Talking about his book ‘The Stakes: America at the Point of No Return’, he describes it in his words, as a “form of one-man rule: halfway … between monarchy and tyranny”. For years Yarvin has spoke of the need for real power to be exercised oligarchically, in a small number of prestigious academic and media institutions he calls the Cathedral; and a sclerotic democracy should be replaced by a strict hierarchy headed by a single person whose role is that of a monarch or CEO. Sound familiar?

I’ve followed Yarvin’s work for a little while now and in my mind, his philosophy entirely explains JD Vance’s extreme rhetoric. Vance is unquestionably a Yarvin disciple and I honestly believe he has been planted in the role of vice president. Trump was in my opinion given an ultimatum to put him there or be fed to the baying wolves and go to prison. There’s a great article in the Guardian which formed part of my research for this piece and you can read it here. The key point you must consider is that this is all part of a much bigger picture to reorder global trade and economics. It’s not for nothing these guys are all in on crypto currency.

The way this works is to introduce a level of economic shock and awe that the world simply can’t comprehend. The hope is, nations are so fearful of the consequences, they dare not fight back in a way that will truly challenge the perpetrator of what amounts to a fiscal war crime. Trump is wary of his victims forming an alliance that could fight back and hurt him, as demonstrated by his threats that if Canada acts with the EU, he will ramp up further punitive action.

The true danger for him here is that China steps up and coordinates a response with other key players. This could represent a HUGE threat to Trump’s plans. I do believe this may be closer that Trump believes, but only time will tell. The markets will have their say today first and I think this will drive the global response. S&P 500 futures have dropped 3.1% and Nasdaq-100 futures are down 3.4% as of my writing this post and still falling. These are massive hits and today’s trading and Trump’s reaction to it will provide a real indicator of if he decides to blink first.

In this moment, Trump’s Robin Hood tale, sees the Sheriff of Nottingham having a Liberation Day Banquet today, while the merry men and the poor of his thiefdom prepare to starve. Unless he backs off, there’s no ‘happy ever after’ in this horror movie.

It took Joe Biden four years to put America in economic pole position in the world. It’s taken Wun Dum Fuc, eight weeks to burn it to the ground on a Casino bet, with the lowest economic odds of success in modern history. Let’s remind ourselves, how did his last Casino venture go? Well now America is his new casino bet. The wheel is spinning and Trump has placed all YOUR chips (because let’s face it, he never bets with his own money), on 0.

Oh and did I mention, Russia and Belarus got no tariffs. This brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘Russian Roulette’. Remember, there’s just one bullet in the chamber, he’s just spun it and the gun is at the side of YOUR head not his or any of his rich friends.

Hold your breath America. Tick, tock, tick tock, tick tock.
