Days 78-84: Art of the Deal vs. Art of War as Trump crashes the Bond Market and breaks the global USD based Trade Order
Liberation Day was another example of Trump having no plan expect his Ego as the guide to economic policies. He is going to bankrupt America just as he has bankrupted 6 of his previous businesses.
Liberation Day was another example of Trump having no plan expect his Ego as the guide to economic policies. He is going to bankrupt America just as he has bankrupted 6 of his previous businesses. If there was a Plan B after the disastrous Day of Liberation, what exactly is the Trump master plan since the Markets are still very confused. He is Making Uncertainty Great Again (MUGA) instead of America. At this rate will this Republic survive his first year back in the office?
Bankruptcies of Trump's Businesses
Trump Taj Mahal (1991)
Filed for bankruptcy due to $3 billion in debt.
Trump gave up half his ownership and equity in the casino.
Sold his Trump Shuttle airline and Trump Princess yacht.
Agreed to a bank-set limit on personal spending.
Trump Plaza Hotel (1992)
Filed for bankruptcy with $550 million in debt.
Trump gave up a 49% stake in the property.
Trump Castle and Trump Plaza Casinos (1992)
Both casinos filed for bankruptcy.
Trump gave up a 50% share in exchange for more favorable terms.
Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts (2004)
Filed for bankruptcy with $1.8 billion in debt.
Trump's ownership reduced from 47% to 27%.
Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009)
Filed for bankruptcy with $1.2 billion in debt.
Trump's ownership reduced to 10%.
Resigned as chairman of the board.
Reasons for the Bankruptcies
High Debt and Interest Rates: Businesses were financed with high levels of debt and high-interest junk bonds.
Competitive Casino Industry: The Atlantic City casino market was highly competitive, and the overall casino industry was struggling.
Economic Downturns: The 2008 recession had a significant impact on Trump Entertainment Resorts.
Note that the reasons for his series of bankruptcies were related to high levels of debt that became unsustainable, combined with poor management that led to the said default of his contractual obligations and businesses. That same pattern and circumstances are now writ large over the entire Republic, as this failed Casino Mogul who cannot even make a Casino run profitably (where people are coming into the doors to hand you money) is now expected to run the finances of the worlds top economy successfully. He is managing America just like he would another Atlantic City Casino. Build something big with your name on it, but have no clue on how to actually successfully run the business beyond the branding part.
This podcast is from Mike Adams, Healthranger who finally seems to have caught on to the scam called the Trumpanzee 2.0 Administration clown show. It took about 3 months of his mismanagement and the Bond Markets crashing to finally reach that conclusion for the Healthranger. And according to him who was once a MAGA cultist, he is now saying “TRUMP BREAKS THE WORLD and plunges America into an economic death spiral.” But will the rest of the cultists listen?

America should have expected more from the so-called Billionaire and economic genius that was going to make American Great again. Instead, America gets a Master Magician Mason engaging in the magic of Inversion using word magic.
When he says he will fix the economy and bring down the prices of “groceries”; be prepared for the exact opposite outcome to manifest. He claims to have invented the use of the term “groceries” on the campaign, as if before him the economy was never a campaign related issue. So what has he done to your “groceries”? Answer, exactly what he has done to his failed businesses in the past, take them to ruin. So instead of lowering “groceries” he has now raised them from 10-145% depending on which Tariff sanctioned nation you got your “groceries” from in the first place.
Instead of helping with your “groceries”, you will now have to worry about your 401K plans and whether you will get to retire or not as the Bond Market is now at risk of implosion. The Dollar has been weakened and that reduces buying power.
Treasury yields soared to their highest level since February on Friday, as traders complained liquidity was worsening amid a deepening rout in the $29tn US government bond market.
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 0.19 percentage points to 4.58 per cent amid a deepening slump for an asset traditionally considered the global financial system’s ultimate haven.
The yield has risen from less than 3.9 per cent earlier in the week as Donald Trump’s erratic tariff policies shake investors’ faith in US policymaking and the economy, sparking an exodus from American assets.
While Trump backed down from his so-called reciprocal tariffs on non-retaliating countries earlier this week — agreeing to a 90-day hiatus for most major US trading partners — he placed even steeper levies on Chinese imports.
“There is real pressure across the globe to sell Treasuries and corporate bonds if you are a foreign holder,” said Peter Tchir, head of US macro strategy at Academy Securities. “There is a real global concern that they don’t know where Trump is going.”
Remember that every 1% increase in their interest rates means another $300B in extra interest payments on your debt schedule. A death spiral in the economic confidence of the USD and thereby the erratic impulsive Trumpian trade policies in play.
“The idea that various of the administration’s policies could undermine foreign demand for Treasuries has been gaining currency,” said Matthew Raskin, head of US rates research at Deutsche Bank AG.
It all adds up to a world where US exceptionalism no longer is the dominant theme, with potentially momentous long-term implications: Deutsche Bank warns of a “confidence crisis” in the dollar, while UBS Group AG sees a shot in the arm to the Euro’s status as a global reserve currency.
When Steve Rattner says his border collie could do a better job, then we really do have a problem here in the jungles of America. A jungle where Americans are now spending more on interest payments on their debt than they spend on their over bloated and useless paper tiger of a military. It was a classic sign of an old failing empire in an economic death spiral under the mismanagement of Trump.
The Art of Breaking the Deal vs. the Art of War
What has been achieved as of his announcement of Liberation Day since 3/4/25?
The USD is declining in value just as its Bond Market rates are rising.
At a Tariff rate of 145% on China and its reciprocal Tariffs of 125% on America, Trade and Commerce between the world’s top 2 economies has effectively come to an end. Try to comprehend that statement and outcome.
Some 70% of what is on the shelves of Walmart and Amazon are from China.
The global USD based trading system is now in jeopardy and about to break completely as the two biggest economies go to War over Trade. How soon will it be before Trade Wars morph into Hot Wars fought in the Asia Pacific?
America’s brand as the business haven with freedom and rule of law has now been sullied permanently, just the Musk Tesla brand has also become toxic. A loss of Trust and Branding that will take a lot of effort to regain and repair.
The Chinese CCP Comrades are laughing at the American weakness and their inability to make anyone bend to their will. So far who has submitted? If tiny Cambodia and Vietnam count as the reason for the Tariffs then it means this entire fiasco has been ill conceived and very poorly thought out.
As the Ape King of the Jungle Trumpanzee roars and thumps his chest so far he has not achieved anything meaningful other than disrupting the economic order and throwing America on a certain course towards Recession and then something much worse as Ray Dalio of Bridgewater puts it. Trumpanzee not only almost broke the Bond Market, he has introduced immense uncertainty and volatility into the system that is based on America’s ability to sell its Stocks and Debts to the rest of the World. The rest of the World is now viewing America has not a safe haven, but rather as a risky asset class that is driving more businesses to China.
This Billionaire investor speaking is the CEO of the biggest hedge fund out there, so when he says the system is breaking down and Liberation Day Tariffs were the cause perhaps we should pay attention. Tariffs are Inflationary and Destructive.
“I think that right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession,” Dalio said.
“And I’m worried about something worse than a recession if this isn’t handled well.”
We have a breaking down of the monetary order. We are going to change the monetary order because we cannot spend the amounts of money. So we have that problem.
...We are having profound changes in our domestic order, how ruling is existing. And we're having profound changes in the world order. Such times are very much like the 1930s."
“Such times are very much like the 1930s,” he warned.
“If you take tariffs, if you take debt, if you take the rising power challenging the existing power – those changes in the orders, the systems, are very, very disruptive.”
“These breakdowns have occurred before,” he said. “The existing monetary and geopolitical order began in 1945. These systems go in cycles, and I worry about the breakdown—particularly because it doesn’t have to happen.”
“That could be like the breakdown of the monetary system in ‘71. It could be like 2008. It’s going to be very severe,” Dalio said.
“I think it could be more severe than those if these other matters simultaneously occur.”
Dalio said history is shaped by five major forces:
monetary cycles like credit and debt;
internal political conflict;
shifting global power dynamics;
technological change;
and natural disasters such as pandemics.
In his view, all five are currently in play.
Whereas the Chinese Sun Tzu Art of War views the enemy in a very different light. Strategy and patience are key factors to eventual victory. Just impulsive instinctual shooting from the hip economic policies are a sign of a weak mind with a weak grasp on the factors at play. He has no Plan B or C or D in relation to China who is now defying his orders. Notice neither Panama, nor Greenland, nor China, nor Canada, nor even Ukraine has bowed and kissed the ring which is symbolism for the devil’s anus. What will the Trumpanzee do in his wild rage?
Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" that emphasize strategy and patience:
"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
This quote highlights the importance of strategic thinking. The best strategy is one that achieves the desired outcome without the need for direct conflict. It encourages leaders to consider diplomacy, psychological warfare, and other non-violent means to achieve their goals.
"Opportunities multiply as they are seized."
Patience is crucial in warfare, but so is the ability to recognize and seize the right moment. This quote suggests that while waiting for the perfect opportunity is important, acting decisively once that opportunity arises is equally critical.
"The general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand."
This quote underscores the importance of thorough planning and strategic foresight. Patience in preparing and calculating potential outcomes can be the difference between victory and defeat.
"He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared."
Patience and preparedness are key elements of this strategy. By being ready and waiting for the right moment to strike, a commander can catch the enemy off guard and gain a significant advantage.
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."
This quote emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and patience. Successful warriors ensure they have a winning strategy before engaging in battle, rather than hoping to develop a winning strategy after the conflict has begun.
These quotes illustrate Sun Tzu's emphasis on strategic thinking, thorough preparation, and the importance of patience in achieving victory.
Careful preparation and planning combined with patience is what the Chinese CCP are countering Trumpanzee’s Tariffs with and winning in the trade game. As the World loses confidence in America, the investments and trade goes East, not back to the West. What manufacturing jobs he is even talking about in his rants? See the mockery by Ai by the Chinese who are humiliating the poor Ape King.
As we said the system is breaking at the seams all thanks to the Trumpanzee clown and ape show in DC. He was foolish enough to think that presenting a board on the Whitehouse lawn was going to make 185 nations bow before him. Some have bowed and succumb to the pressure and offered to lower their rate of Tariffs charged on American goods to 0% as is the case with Vietnam, but for the Tyrant Ape King Trumpanzee that is not enough.
Trumpanzee even painted his face an extra coating of patsy orange, but nobody bought his game show theatrics, least of all the Chinese.
Vietnam offered to lower its tariffs to 0% with Trump. According to a report from the New York Post, President Trump claimed on Truth Social that he had a “productive call” with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told him that Vietnam wants to cut their tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S.
This offer was also confirmed in a letter from Vietnam’s communist party chief To Lam to the US president.
However, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro later dismissed the offer, saying that it “means nothing” because it's the non-tariff cheating that matters.
Further evidence that he does not even know what he wants in return from these 185 trading nations. If 0% Tariffs was not sufficient what will be sufficient and what are the goals of this Administration in relation to these 185 trading nations? Does he even have a plan, has anyone seen the plan and is the plan even working?
And notice the Trumpanzee whisperer Ron Vara aka Navarro is the one really making the Tariffs decision in the Whitehouse? Listen to this performance by Navarro the convicted felon and con artist author who uses fictional characters in his non-fiction books to validate this economic theories and claims. See if you can spot the difference between Navarro and Trump speaking; it is the same script.
The phrase "kiss my ass" was used by Donald Trump in a different context than the phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky. In April 2025, Trump made a statement during a speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee's donor event, where he claimed that countries were "lining up to kiss my ass" in order to negotiate deals following the introduction of new trade policies.
This statement was made in the context of discussing tariffs and trade negotiations, not in relation to the Ukraine phone call. Regarding the phone call with Zelensky, the transcript released by the White House does not contain the phrase "kiss my ass." Instead, it details Trump's request for Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
We have warned our dear readers on many occasions that we are dealing with a very wicked misleader pointing this finger at you in these End Times. This little demon Donald (Dajjal AntiChrist) Trump is a Masonic Magician of the MAGA.
In keeping with the Demonic and the End Times Dajjalic it is only appropriate for this little demon to use the phrase “kiss his ass”. Because kissing his anus is how Witches greet and pay homage to the Devil. He is telling you who and what religion he is really practicing as the Blasphemer and Idol Worshipper that he is.
The term "Masonic Devil’s Kiss" is often misunderstood and confused with the historical concept known as the "osculum infame," which is unrelated to Freemasonry. Here’s the correct information:
Osculum Infame
Definition: The "osculum infame" (Latin for "shameful kiss" or "kiss of shame") is a term from historical witchcraft folklore. It refers to a ritual act where witches were said to greet the Devil by kissing his anus.
Context: This act was believed to be a sign of homage or penance to the Devil. It was commonly mentioned in accounts of witch trials, particularly during the era of witch-hunting in Europe.
Significance: The practice was considered an act of degradation and was used to symbolize the submission of witches to the Devil.
What Trump has “Liberated” you from is your Wealth denominated in those USD. See this break down of the road ahead and what Liberation Day really means with Peter Schiff. We are not qualified to offer investing or financial advise, so that is why there are peoples such as Peter Schiff who predicted the 2008 market crash and who is now warning of an even bigger market crash thanks to Trumpanzee.
Key Takeaways:
The U.S. has lost significant leverage in global trade due to tariffs.
Tariffs have led to market instability and a global outflow of assets from the U.S.
The trade deficit is a symptom of excessive U.S. spending, not cheating by other countries.
Tariffs have not strengthened the dollar but have weakened it.
The U.S. is increasingly dependent on foreign creditors to finance its debt.
China and Europe have responded to U.S. tariffs, causing market declines.
The U.S. needs to raise interest rates and increase savings to address economic issues.
Gold is emerging as a strong investment, with significant growth expected.
Central banks are likely to increase gold reserves, further boosting gold prices.
The dollar's status as a reserve currency is diminishing, with gold poised to replace it.
Investing in gold mining companies is recommended over physical gold.
A financial crisis in the U.S. is possible, with global implications.
Foreign markets are growing despite U.S. tariffs, indicating a shift in economic power.
An investment plan that includes foreign assets and gold is crucial for navigating the current economic landscape.
The U.S. needs to reassess its economic policies to regain stability and trust in global trade.
Trade with China has ended
At the current rate of Tariffs at 145% and 125% there is effectively no trading with the two nations until and unless you apply for a “kiss my ass” Tariffs exemptions. And when they are granted such “kiss my ass” Tariffs exemptions as is the case with Chinese electronics and related items that confirms that there was never an “economic emergency” under which the Tariffs were imposed on the first place.
AMENDMENT TO RECIPROCAL TARIFFS AND UPDATED DUTIES AS APPLIED TO LOW-VALUE IMPORTS FROM THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. Background.
In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices that Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I declared a national emergency arising from conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, and imposed additional ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate to deal with that unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security and economy of the United States.
Section 4(b) of Executive Order 14257 provided that “[s]hould any trading partner retaliate against the United States in response to this action through import duties on U.S. exports or other measures, I may further modify the [Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States] to increase or expand in scope the duties imposed under this order to ensure the efficacy of this action.”
You see the minor technical problem with this situation is called the Law and the Constitution and it means we are dealing with clear abuse of power and a second impeachment for the out of control jungle Gorilla called Donald Trumpanzee.
Making "Deals" and “Negotiations” and “Exemptions” and “Lack of Respect” and “90 day Pause” = there is no Emergency. And if there is no Emergency then the basis of the Tariffs are null and void and his actions are unconstitutional and illegal. Tariffs by EO are only valid if there is a real "Emergency", something that was explained in detailed in this previous post and video by Lawrence O’Donnell.
Also notice that the EO text uses the word “Duties” which is exactly what Tariffs are, they are Import Duties as in Import Taxes paid by American companies that are importing Chinese made goods. But Trumpanzee wants you to believe that it is China that is paying these Import Tariffs. It was the classic Inversion ritual again.
One of the most devasting take downs of the Trump Clown show by Lawrence O’Donnell. Who knew that the use of Tariffs were illegal unless for a valid and immediate national security reason. That is why the fake pretense of Fentanyl was necessary by the Tyrant Emperor to justify his actions, as we explained in these previous posts. So refreshing to see on…
What type of true economic emergency means you can take a 90 day break and have some cookies and wait it out as you re-negotiate the trade agreements. The entire basis for the Tariffs are as fraudulent as the jungle tyrant Trumpanzee, but what that means for American consumers are still yet to be felt. The impact will happen in about 3 to 6 months time as all of the Chinese inventory is used up and the last shipments from China make their way to American retailer’s shelves. But once that is done, nobody is doing trade with Tariffs at 145% and 125% rates.
As Peter Schiff explained, it is the Producer nation who is in the drivers seat with all the cards, not the Consumer nation with a maxed out credit card that is about to be declined soon. It is China has that will be dictating the terms of any future Trade agreement, but since we are dealing with two stubborn old genocidal fools in Xi and Trump, do not expect any such trade deals anytime soon.
Instead prepare for this trade war becoming a hot war very soon as Trumpanzee makes another massive blunder with the American military. He believes the American military to be invincible, but it is anything but and it will be a second death blow to the Republic from which it is very unlikely to recover from. It will be either in Iran, Taiwan, Europe or in Panama where Trumpanzee sends his troops next to enforce his Economic Order which will again go horribly wrong.
The Death of Free Speech coming to America
Fresh from the spanking at the Whitehouse Zelensky goes on 60 Minutes and exacts his revenge on Trumpanzee and boy is the jungle ape mad with fire and fury. He now wants to revoke the broadcasting license for CBS over it.
President Donald Trump has again called for CBS to lose its license and warned the network will “pay a big price” for its latest 60 Minutes broadcast.
The president took aim at the long-running program in two consecutive Truth Social posts Sunday evening after it aired an episode dedicated to his administration’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war and its annexation threats against Greenland.
Trump began his tirade by resurfacing allegations that the program used “deceitful editing” to doctor some of former Vice President Kamala Harris’ answers in her 60 Minutes interview in October, less than a month before her defeat at the ballot box. Trump has an ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against the network over the claims, which it denies.
Under the Trumpanzee Lack of Free Speech administration university students can be picked up and be deported for speaking out against Zionist Genocide and American citizens can be wrongfully sent to foreign prisons and when the Courts order their return the fake President and his Jewish Mafia crony from El Salvador laugh and refuse to return the poor wrongfully accused prisoner rotting in jail.
A type of defacto Martial Law is what the EO’s have already instituted into being and since the Courts will be ignored by this Trumpian Administration, anybody not kissing his fat ass is a target for the jungle ape looking for his next victim. On guard in the wild jungles of America as a tyrant ape is on the loose.
