In our latest discussion, Doug Casey shares his unfiltered reaction to Trump's recent proposal to have the U.S. take control of Gaza. "When I saw that last night, I was flabbergasted," Doug says. "I thought that the Donald actually was on some type of mind controlling drugs, or else he'd had a psychotic break."
Doug breaks down why he believes the plan is "totally impossible, and undesirable," pointing out the logistical nightmare of displacing 2 million Gazans and the massive costs involved. More worryingly, he suggests this could inflame tensions in the US homeland: "They're going to go totally wild because the meme has been that Israel has been stealing their land."
We also dive into the expanding USAID scandal, where new data analysis reveals extensive funding networks connecting media outlets and political organizations. A surprising revelation: USAID's budget doubled during Trump's presidency from $22.3 billion to $41 billion. "I'd like an explanation from him why he did that," Casey remarks.
The conversation concludes with observations about the gold market, where significant physical deliveries are occurring at COMEX. Doug suggests this could signal upcoming market instability: "When the financial system becomes unstable and sketchy, you want the gold in your own possession. You don't want to have to trust some other entity, some bank that may be bankrupt."
These developments paint a concerning picture of growing instability in both geopolitics and markets. As Doug notes, "The U.S. government is on tilt, and I'm not sure it's getting better."
