It appears that another major collapse signal just flashed RED!
Another Major Collapse Signal Just Flashed A Warning Sign
July 2 (King World News) – Gregory Mannarino, writing for the Trends Journal: The U.S. trade deficit just surged another 11 percent in May… it’s a collapse signal.
This marks the worst May reading since 2022.
Let me break it down.
U.S. Trade Deficit Surges 11 percent. What That Really Means.
Goods and services trade gap widened to over $96 billion. Driven by increased imports of energy, consumer goods, and tech, slowing exports (especially industrial and agriculture).
Trump told us that tariffs would pay for this… And WE exposed that LIE right on my blog MANY months ago. Trump also said the same thing during his last tenure as well… but instead we got RECORD HIGH debt and deficits.
THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SURGE…
America is producing less. U.S. factories are hollowed out. You can’t run a nation on Amazon packages and defense contractors.
ECONOMICS 101…
The Dollar Weakens = Imports Cost More. As the dollar falls, it takes more dollars to buy foreign goods. That means even if you import the same amount, the deficit rises.
The U.S. Industrial Engine Is Failing. Why?
Other nations are finding new trade partners who don’t want to settle in USD.
HOW THIS CONNECTS TO DEBT, DOLLAR, AND WAR…
Larger trade deficits = more borrowing to fund consumption. More borrowing = weaker dollar, higher inflation. Weaker dollar = loss of global trust.
So what does the empire do? It expands military power! (Think NATO now more than doubling defense spending).
MY CALL—THE TRADE DEFICIT IS A LEADING INDICATOR OF THE END…America no longer makes enough. America can’t export enough. America spends borrowed money to buy things it used to create. And the world is watching this beast devour its own legs. America is being DESTROYED from within.
What Is The Fix?
King World News note: The plan is to bring jobs back to the United States along with manufacturing. The problem is the multi-national corporations don’t care about anything but profits and told the president labor in the US is way too expensive. President Trump was in a hurry to level the playing field so he put tariffs on countries and announced they were going to devalue the dollar in a big way. So the corporations can bring back manufacturing jobs to the US because they will be paying the labor force in devalued American pesos. This will help the US reduce the massive trade deficit, but it is never good for citizens of a country to have a weak currency. It may be good for the multi-national corporations but not good for the public. Regardless, gold is now recognized as the world’s reserve currency, not the dollar or any other fiat backed by nothing.
