Gold has doubled in price, and the dollar has dropped in price to a 3-year low, and all of this happening since Trump took office in January of this year.

How much blame should he be charged with.

What’s happened to the price of gold this year?

The price of gold has risen more than 50 percent since the start of 2025 in a historic run for the asset. Much of the surge has been fueled by United States President Donald Trump, who returned to the White House at the start of the year.

Gold prices rose sharply in April when Trump launched a trade war against much of the world, and it rallied again in August as the US president attacked the independence of the Federal Reserve – the US central bank.

Anxious Investors Push Gold Above $4,000 an Ounce for the First Time

Gold, often seen as a haven during times of turmoil, is on course for its best year since 1979, when prices surged over 100 percent during a period of high inflation, a depreciating dollar and a geopolitical crisis in the Middle East.

There are uncomfortable echoes of that past surge today, said analysts, who attributed the recent rise in gold prices to demand from investors looking to shift away from U.S. assets at a time of political upheaval and uncertainty, highlighted by the government shutdown. The gold rally also reflects a strong undercurrent of unease among investors, even as stocks have repeatedly set records, giving Wall Street a bullish air.

Dollar slides to 3-year low on report Trump plans to name next Fed chair early

This articles above says it all. Since Trump took office, there is turmoil, political upheaval, uncertainty, as well as fear of inflation rearing up ahead (given that Gold is always the safe haven chosen when inflation goes up).

These FACTS (Gold doubling in price, and Dollar down to multi-year lows) means that Trump's actions are being seen much more of a negative to our nation than them being a positive.

This is not opinion but fact, given that money talks! This is not Democrats worrying (and crying) about Trump, but everyone scurrying to find ways to protect themselves against the consequences of Trump's actions!

The "dollar" is nothing but ones and zeroes. Been this way for a long time.

My gold holdings have increased so much that it's paid for plenty of important improvements to my home this year.

No complaints here.

You got to feel sorry for the kid that posts every day his hate of Trump claiming it is not democrats worrying ( and crying) about Trump. It really makes them seem as if they are doing just that. He, she, it tries to show that things are bad financially while somehow missing that the Dow has been climbing to new highs. But hey have to somehow show that Trump is bad.

MAGA!
 
Well I have no interest in gold, so I guess I can't really blame anybody.

Then, why don't you simply explain why this happened and what it means, so that we can all understand?

The DOW has been rising every year, this is nothing NEW.
Obama, Trump, Biden and now Trump again, have ALL had All-Time record Highs in the market.

I wonder if they already know that and are playing dumb, or are just stupid. I can never tell. What do you think?

You mean other than the economy has been in the toilet for years? Or are you talking about all the cooking of the job books by Biden? Or are you talking about people and other nations being worried about the amount of debt that the U.S. keeps incurring?

A cheap dollar is good for trade.

How does expensive gold hurt us?

But you do not see that if Trump was a reason for gold to rise and the dollar to fall the Dow should be flat or falling? Look I get it you do not understand simple economic principles

25% Trump, 75% Congress
 
It is not about how expensive gold is, it is what it means and what it means is that inflation and likely chaos is what is coming. As such, people get out of the dollar and into gold.
I guess you missed that the dollar and gold are both world currencies. Maybe your high school education did not cover that. If so many were worried that as you put it inflation and chaos was coming then the Dow should also reflect that same worry.
 
You mean other than the economy has been in the toilet for years? Or are you talking about all the cooking of the job books by Biden? Or are you talking about people and other nations being worried about the amount of debt that the U.S. keeps incurring?
Why has Gold doubled in price and the Dollar fallen to a 3-year low during Trump's campaign?

That is my question
