Craig Hemke – Is The Trump Administration Prepared To Make A Big Financial Change That Involves Gold?
Craig Hemke, Editor of TF Metals Report, joins us to discuss a number of macroeconomic factors from the revised GDP estimate lower, the weakness in manufacturing, tariff policies, sticky inflation, and the ever-increasing US debt issue that are creating the stagflationary environment of desperation in front of a potential recession and the impetus from this administration to make some big financial change… and it may involve gold.
There has been so much news circulating lately from the Trump administration that has financial media speculating about the potential to revalue assets on the US balance sheet, possibly including the price gold is valued at. There are opinion pieces citing that all the tariffs going into place; and that they may be more than just a bargaining chip. Some outlets and pundits have proposed the real motivation behind these tariffs is that they are actually a way to bring funds into the federal government through that form of taxation, which could allow for faster debt repayment or even the formation of a sovereign wealth fund. The debate on the sovereign wealth fund comes down to where the necessary money will actually come from to create it. Then as far as what to buy with the sovereign wealth fund, many are proposing that it could include either gold, energy assets, Greenland, or even bitcoin.
Craig then touches up the proposed idea from Judy Shelton back in 2018, which is circulating once again, where the US could sell long-dated 50-year or 100-year bonds that are indexed or redeemable in gold to make them more attractive. With so many ideas being thrown out as potential solutions, it does have many investors wondering if this administration is on the cusp of announcing some radical financial proposal. He points out that most of the ideas are very bullish for the precious metals.

Sure thing 4 oz. I feel the same way about Craig. He’s such a good guy and he often is able to put a voice to economic topics that few will discuss in the main stream media.
He also always make me laugh every time we chat with him each week. That may be one of the most valuable commodities. 🙂
According to Martin Armstrong all the gold that is flowing into America is from Europe including Switzerland; the gold is seeking safe haven from yet another European War. Just like what happened before WWI and WWII. Europe is functionally broke, and Nato wants the war with Russia to distract their people from their indebted governments. DT

Yeah, I saw Martin Armstrong present at the World Outlook Conference last month in Vancouver, and he was making a similar point about the physical gold flows and the potential flareups with geopolitics. He was not very constructive on the European Union even staying together much longer and that we will see some serious sovereign debt crisis drama unfold in the next couple years.
Hi Ex, Trump has stopped the aid to Ukraine that means America is leaving NATO. DT
Yep, I saw the news.
Nvidia lost $266 billion today, not a big deal. LOL! DT
Agreed. What is $266 billion amongst tech-bro friends? 😉

E.B. can still really go on wild rants… there were some good points that he made… and a few times I did get a really good chuckle out of his passionate proclamations and revelations.
There is nobody that makes me feel he is more on my side than Craig Hemke; Thanks Shad for frequently visiting with him!
