    Not quite yet, but as Trump increases his grip on the Federal Reserve, which should reach a tipping point when he appoints a new Chairman in May of 2026, you can bet 100% that monetary policy will hyperinflation on a level never before seen in the U.S… Expect >50% annual inflation level.

        A better strategy is to buy real assets like gold and silver, which not only hold their value with inflation, but generally tend to explode in price as people wake up and pile in.

          Everyone’s gonna have beans and rice. I’m gonna be the only one with bread and eggs. And unlike beans and rice, when I need some more, I can plant them and grow more eggs and bread.
