Trump may be a blow hard, arrogant and full of himself, in contrast to the idiot in chief we currently have I for one would welcome him back. I can discount his likeability (I don't really like him) in favor of his policies. He was the only modern President to keep the peace, he did create a booming economy and was making friends out of those we thought were adversaries for decades. It has been said at that level of Politics, it is the strongest school yard bully that earns respect. Look at the others Xi, Putin...Rocket man - all wanna BE's. Say what you will, condemn my views, in the end his policies worked for everyone. Domestic and Foreign.

And War, like nothing else, not even public health emergencies, allows total control of a country and its’ citizens. They can ration everything under the sun without opposition, including what days of the week you can drive, whether you can drive at all and how far you can go. They can replace meat on the store shelves with bugs. They can declare war induced public health, financial and climate emergencies that require the total surrender of your body, your bank account and your right to breathe. There is no end to it.

So it is the love of money and the love of power and control that are driving us inexorably towards WWIII. If cooler heads prevail, they don’t reside in America.

Mark this day on your calendar folks.

Bill Bonner, the great Centrist Faker, actually said one thing positive about DJT - though backhanded and buried amongst the prerequisite banal condemnations...

Yes Bill, in our current banana republic, where a corrupt senator/VP and a whore can be Placed in office by our nations foreign and domestic enemies, anything is possible. This made in China shit is so deep, I believe there is no digging out, and most will perish from their own ignorance…always has come down to survival of the fittest, and logical 🤔

PG V --

What I enjoy are your "push backs."

They are full of passion and frequently in ALL CAP to ensure lazy readers don't miss them.

What I do not like -- and what detracts from your counterpoints -- is the virulence and personalization with which you sometimes shroud them.

I urge you to channel your ire by castigating the comment, not the commentator

I am not an American but I too am no Trump fan, however I do see his positives. For one, he is the only one of the last 6 US presidents who has not started a war.

I am amused by the photo of ammunition laying on a pile of Benjamins. The caliber, 5.45X39.5 Soviet is obscure and few people have them or know what they are. I am guessing it is a stock photo, I doubt any of Porter's gang are 5.45mm shooters.

oh poor Bill, I think your years of unfulfilled hope for a better future (financial) are leading you into early senility .. an old adage was "fooled you once shame on me" fooled you twice shame on you" now you grasp at the oldest weakest dumbest link that every sprouted out of America's failed business models of the past 63 years (Buffet/Berkshire excluded) so that all of the great ingenuity of the Hewlett Packard's, Thomson Ramo Woolridge TRW, Litton industries, Monsanto, IBM, DEC, Intel, Motorola etc etc have all slowly vanished into the haze and replaced by the worlds loudest stupidest ignoramuses who paraphrase someone else's profound insights as their own and then pretend again to be the saviors of the dying American empire .. surely you are not that gullible Bill ?

btw if you think the planet is a self sustaining everlasting engine which our species is somehow entitled to consume and destroy then you are much greater fool than I would have thought from a guy trying to eek a crust out of high country in Argentina .. lets hope that the next drought doesn't wipe you (or those working peasants) out .. I wonder who will pass away first them or you?

Humanities only hope is that the entropy of this planet and it's intricately related systems will continue to find ways to recover from our profundity/stupidity .. perhaps when next you attend mass you can include that wish in your prayers for all of our grandchildren and beyond ..

An absolute masterpiece Mr. Bonner. Thank you. President Trump will fire Sleepy Joe and reign with dignity and strength.

The year was 1985, Marty McFly had the opportunity to witness the birth of Christ, yet he chose to take his mom out on a hot date! 😂 Growing Pains sitcom hit the airwaves, and now we travel to 2023 where the markets are experiencing “Growing Pains”. 😂

The DOW and S&P 500 huffed for a bit a couple months ago. They almost elevated to levels deemed positive for a market capture action entry point, then they both flattened out an sank back to the bottom like a pair of cement shoes in the manhattan river, although the real bottom will probably see the earf’s molted core!

Why? Inflation, here’s the bottom line, get used to it pal or gal! 😂

Market sustainability is nowhere in sight, you are better off hitting the craps tables in Vegas! Hahaha Good Luck!

Don't forget about the revelations of the past week. The most powerful news outlet has admitted in court, several times, by several people, that they lie on purpose to preserve their audience to retain ratings, and income. Quote Rupert Murdock "It's not red, or blue, it's green." The odd part is, it's the audience driving these transgressions with proven action to switch to even more false info if Fox News does not continue the ruse. I wonder how many Trump ideolog's will see this report here first?

Bill, what you write is, unfortunately, too true, except for your very last line: “And the mainstream press – a vital part of the elite – keeps quiet.” Heck no! That MSM Washington cheerleader, Norah “D.C. Rose” O’Donnell (aka “BOMBSHELL!!” Girl) was reporting last week from aboard a frickin’ aircraft carrier “somewhere in the South China Sea” Gosh, whatever could that be about? I hear drums, and they’re getting closer.

I sent you what I sent you because it had Putin's essay linked to it. Whatever was in the article wasn't the point. Read what Putin himself wrote. Putin wants to restore the old Soviet Union. He has eyes on Moldovia, Bellarus, Poland and the Baltic States. He is way, way out of his lane. The "rag" is irrelevant, read what Putin wrote!
