No, Trump Can’t Bail Out Bitcoin
Even in our Bizarro world, a TARP for tokens rescue is more fantasy than policy—and that’s exactly how the system is designed.

5️⃣ The real choice isn’t biblical borders vs. chaos; it’s between a theology that sacralizes impunity and one that orders law, economics, and enforcement to the common good of natives and migrants.

BRICS Mirage: Why Dollar Hegemony Endures, Trump’s Tariff Threats Miss the Point, and Attacking BRICS Backfires
BRICS de dollarization makes great television. As a real threat to U.S. monetary power, it’s mostly theater—and the loudest American response so far risks doing more damage than the problem it claims
