BRICS aims to destroy the USD reserve currency within 10 years. If that happens and the US has no domestic (advanced) manufacturing capacity owing to trade inequities and high dollar effects over decades then it is curtains for us all. Must also develop energy independence and grow a Pacific trade route.

The thing with Trump is that you can't be sure of what the 'basket' is or what 'eggs' are available!

I think you’re right, Ken.

The US lawyer Jeff Childers, on the ‘Coffee and Covid’ Substack, is someone else who has come to much the same conclusion about Trump’s methods. He doesn’t need all his efforts (DEI, DOGE, energy liberalisation, slashing red tape and green tape, trade etc)to come good, but he tries a lot and ends up winning most, and recycling his initial setbacks into ultimate wins in somewhat different form.

Jeff’s analysis references off a nice little ChatGPT summary of ‘The Art of the Deal’. Once you’ve seen the pattern, you can’t avoid it.
