Summary
A Fox News host, Jessica Tarlov, highlighted Trump’s declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance.
Trump is “underwater on everything” including economy, federal workforce management, Ukraine-Russia policy, and trade relations with Mexico and Canada.
The polling slide comes amid stock market tumbles, federal worker layoffs, and trade tensions.
Tarlov noted that Republican members of Congress are facing hostile town halls where constituents are challenging them on federal workforce cuts, including at the VA. Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as “paid actors.”
It’s pretty destabilizing globally too. I don’t see the dollar addiction going anywhere; it’s just changing currencies.
We really don’t need China or Russia (or KSA or EU) calling the shots globally either.
There is a reason central banks are buying gold, and that it is making new all-time highs, and recently breached $3K/oz. They’re anticipating the demise of the dollar, and minimizing their exposure to the chaos from the U.S. and buying gold instead of U.S. bonds. Look for this trend to accelerate, especially once the U.S. reaches the point where it can’t sell enough bonds to finance it’s budget deficit, leading to a massive debt crisis and the collapse of the dollar. Gold is already on track to be up >50% this year (up 13.7% so far ytd), and the consistent rise in gold while stocks and other investments fare poorly will only fuel the stampede. I’m confident that gold will end 2025 over $4k/oz, and that 2026 will be even crazier.
Dammit, I should have never dropped out of my Applied Alchemy Program at the University of Phoenix.

I was disenrolled against my will because my pants weren’t baggy enough.
Not sure it will change. The global south and more importantly BRICS has created a system where local currencies are used. It’s basically a currency swap. If this can be extended to all nations there won’t be a currency hegemon at all. Of course while it’s been working well for the countries that are doing it, it’s hard to say what the effects would be on a global scale. Still, we should work towards it. Note I am not talking about the BRICS currency, which is not real. Not even sure why it gets brought up at all.
*Edit. This is an article about the expansion of China’s currency swap deals.

Note that while this is about China, all BRICS nations are making currency swap deals with each other. It’s just easier to find articles about China doing this because China is so massive.
At this point I’d rather have China calling the shots than the USA which is actively threatening to fucking invade my country. Seriously fuck that country and fuck its global hegemony, at this point I hope it burns to the fucking ground.
