Reporter: Mr. President has the dollar declined too much?

Trump: No. I think it’s great. Look at all the business we are doing. No.

Powerman's comment is correct. I mean it's totally reflected in the price of gold and silver in this very thread.

Right now I can exchange 1 oz with 1 oz of gold. Zero inflation.

However if I exchange 1 oz of gold with U.S. dollars, that's going to take over $5K of dollars. That's a lot more dollars than 1 month, 1 year or even 100 years ago. That's because the dollar is being devalued.

AI bubble is going to pop, and it's about 3x larger than the housing bubble.

That's not the same as supporting a "COLLAPSE". He seems to think he can just weaken it to help make American exports more competitive and then stop it from there.

That said, with the way I laid everything out in my previous post I don't think there's a way to have only moderate weakening. I think it's a snowball on the edge of a mountainside and once it gets enough momentum to go over the edge, it won't stop until it hits the village at the bottom.

Going to disagree. If there's a bubble to pop, it will be the consumer debt bubble and that will likely pop if we get sustained Unemployment up around 5% or more (the higher it goes and the longer it stays that high, the more likely the pop happens).

When that bubble pops, everything else will fall with it because pretty much all growth since 2008 has been built on massive debt/deficit spending (both private and public sectors).

I don't believe this is the case.

It's my understanding that the AI bubble is being held up by Big Tech companies and very large institutional investors. As long as they keep buying and selling AI assets between each other the bubble should be sustained. If the bubble ever gets very diverse with more than half retail investor ownership (for example) the bubble has a real chance of popping. But that's going to take some time (Cantillon Effect). If we reach that point where retail investors own sufficient assets in AI that could cause massive selling and popping the bubble, the federal government will probably step in because President Trump through executive order has declared AI a national security issue.
