It's happening faster than expected.

The whispers are now in the headlines. Trump want's Powell Out.

Powell's days are numbered at the Federal Reserve because he refuses to partake in the destruction of the US Dollar. The IMF are losing patience.

To be clear, Kamala and Trump were both given this mandate. Brace yourself for CBDCs.

Many nations before have experienced the same deflation of importance and influence. England, France, Spain, Portugal, China, and so on. And in each circumstance where a new global reserve currency enters the stage, there’s a greater chance of a transition through war, rather than a peaceful transition.

This leads to the present day and US President Donald Trump, who has stated that he does not like trade deficits.

"...some have speculated that the euro could displace the dollar as the preferred global reserve currency"
"...it seems possible that the Trump ‘tariff shock’ could be that tipping point"
"The proportion of world reserves held in euros has been slowly growing"
"...the end result may be a global economy that no longer needs the USA...[mirroring] the plight of the UK in relation to the European Union after Brexit"
