Gold doubled in price and the Dollar at a 3-year low. How much blame falls on Trump's shoulders?

[Meister]

In addition, I worked for (and got trained by) Merrill Lynch and Pru-Bache as an analyst for the stock market and I was 1 (of 5) that handled the trading for the company (Pru-Bache) in the Southeast (each of us was handling over $2 million dollars in investing capital in the mid 1980's). To finish it off, I have had a subscriber service for investors in the stock market for the last 18 years and I have shown consistent success during that time, to the point that 5 of my original subscribers back in 2007 are still with me, paying $30 a month.

You think someone would pay $30 a month for 225 months if they were not getting consistent benefit from that?

You are the one that does not know shit. You fool yourself thinking you do, but you are mostly ignorant. It is a trait of most Trump supporters!

I wouldn't trust you with 20 out of my wallet.
You wouldn't be saying all the crap about gold and not mention the obvious, if your
yarn were true.
Now run along son, and stop being a blight to this nation.

If you are calling me "son", it must mean that you are over 100 years old. I am 80.

By the way, here is a link to my newsletter that came out this past Sunday, where the results for the month, as well as for the 18 years I have had the service, are shown.

Gold has doubled in price while Trump has been in office. Under Biden (and when inflation got up to 9.1%) Gold went up from $1800 to $2100. Under Trump, it has gone from $2100 to $4100.

Your statement makes no sense.

Jan 21,2025 gold was at 2759, and it's 3975 right now. Gold has not doubled.

Bottom line is that people are flocking to Gold now more than ever and yet under Biden inflation had a high of 9.1% and under Trump, inflation has only had a high this year of 4.1%.

Why then are more people interested in Gold now that under Biden, when inflation was high?

Could it be the fear of tariffs, the economy failing, future inflation to keep growing?

Explain that, if you can!

I explained that to you yesterday, I'm not hear to school you.

I explained that to you yesterday, I'm not hear to school you.

You explained this to me yesterday?

I checked every one of your posts and the only post where you said anything tangible was this one:

"Gold rose
27% in 2024 and 13% in 2023. There are several reasons for the rise in Gold and silver. (you forgot silver)
Most of it is probably 'speculation' of what may be, not necessarily what is.
There is also geopolitical forces in play, also."

Having said that, there is more mumbo-jumbo here than any explanation. You truly are "off your rocker".

AI Overview


There are three main reasons gold typically goes up: its status as a safe-haven asset, an inverse relationship with interest rates, and its role as a hedge against inflation and a weaker U.S. dollar
.
1. Safe-haven demand
As a safe-haven asset, gold tends to hold its value during times of economic and political stress when other investments, such as stocks and bonds, may fall.

• Geopolitical instability: International conflicts, political unrest, and trade wars increase uncertainty and drive investors toward gold as a hedge against volatility.
• Economic uncertainty: Recessions, market corrections, or banking instability cause investors to move capital into gold to preserve wealth.

2. Interest rates
Gold is sensitive to interest rate changes because it does not offer interest payments or dividends.

• Lower interest rates: When real interest rates (the nominal rate minus inflation) are low or negative, interest-bearing assets like bonds become less attractive. This can drive investors toward gold, which becomes comparatively more appealing and pushes its price up.
• Higher interest rates: Conversely, rising interest rates signal a strong economy, making higher-yielding investments more appealing and potentially weakening the demand for gold.

3. Inflation and currency devaluation
Gold is often seen as a traditional hedge against inflation and a weaker U.S. dollar.

• Protection against inflation: When inflation rises, the purchasing power of fiat currency decreases. Many investors use gold as a store of value to protect their wealth from this devaluation.
• Inverse dollar relationship: Because gold is priced in U.S. dollars, its price tends to move inversely with the value of the dollar. A weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for buyers using other currencies, which can increase demand and drive the price up.

Under Trump, there are 2 things that are affecting the price of Gold

1) Threat of inflation (though at this time, this is the lesser of the three as inflation is going up but at a slow rate (unlike with Biden).

2) International conflicts, political unrest and threats of tariffs (this one is big because of what Trump has done, which have taken all three things to highs never seen before.

So now, do you have the ability to respond in the same way, which is with data, facts, and common sense?

You couldn't school anyone. Your brain is full of shit from being imbedded in Trump's ass.

The Facts: Multiple measures show that the dollar still holds the leading position among global currencies, although its role has diminished somewhat over the years. In 2025, 57 percent of central bank reserves across the world were held in dollar-denominated assets, down from 71 percent in 1999.Jun 2, 2025

It’s the global reserve currency, a perceived safe haven and a vital unit of account for international trade – a lot is at stake.

Don't be stupid. You think you could get anyone to believe that all of your
very sketchy pictures has happened since Trump took office? Seriously?
By the way, if you really want to make a point, don't use "organic milk" prices
to make your claim.

I took those pictures of Trump's Tent Cities yesterday.

That cheap white liquid you claim is milk is water & toxic chemicals. Adulterated milk mixed with foreign substances, non-milk proteins, to artificially inflate its protein content and economic value. Common protein-related adulterants include nitrogen-rich chemicals like urea and melamine, as well as plant-based proteins such as soy, pea, or wheat proteins. These practices can pose health risks, such as kidney damage, and are often motivated by profit.

Do you equate prices of gold plated, with solid gold coins? What about fake food vs real food prices?

The world is awash in debts. Up until Covid they kept it under some control as any piercing of the growing balloon was quickly dealt with. The printing of fiat currencies around the world accelerated worse due to Covid as work slowed down and people still had to survive. We are still feeling the effects of it.

Who cares who took those pictures. Those conditions were there before
Trump took office.
As far as your fixation on milk.....create a thread so you can whine about it. That
is off topic in this thread, son.

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!

Did you forget the stock market is at record highs?

why did you post an article from June about the dollar? Over the past month alone the dollar has increased 1.35 percent. Trump gets credit for that for sure.
