The Trump regime seems determined to march America into war - economic and otherwise - on several fronts. The new US president is simultaneously saber-rattling at Mexico, China, and even Greenland. The result will not be good.

Militarization of Southern Border

By next Sunday, the entire Southern border will be a militarized operational zone with at least 10,000 troops ostensibly there to fight Mexican drug cartels, but that rationale may mask more sinister territorial ambitions of the Kremlin-aligned president. Trump fully intends to invoke the Insurrection Act next Sunday which will allow those troops to act as domestic law enforcement with a complete suspension of habeas corpus along the Southern border.

Crashing The US Dollar

Meanwhile, the global economy has been plunged into crisis with Trump's tariff war now triggering a mass sell-off of US dollar assets and the US dollar benchmark dipping below 100. China has all but cut off trade with the US.

Tensions with Greenland escalate after Vice President Vance's controversial visit resulted in the dismissal of a military commander who attempted to maintain diplomatic relations with NATO allies.

Trump and Putin Completely Aligned

These international provocations create an escalation on the world stage we haven't seen in decades. The Trump regime is also telegraphing its obedience to the Kremlin as the DOJ announces it will review the case of a Russian spy in US captivity. Alexander Smirnoff, the Russian operative who originated the Hunter Biden laptop narrative, has been in jail since December, and by signaling his release they are publicly aligning with Kremlin priorities.

Constitutional Rights Threatened

Perhaps most concerning is the constitutional crisis unfolding with the Abrego Garcia case. The administration continues to defy a unanimous Supreme Court ruling ordering his return from El Salvador, where he was sent without due process. Their claim that complying is "impracticable" raises disturbing questions about his fate in a notorious prison system and marks an unprecedented challenge to judicial authority and due process.

The Dictator's Playbook

The synchronized timing of these crises follows a recognizable pattern in democratic decline. Trump is employing a dictator's playbook by sparking simultaneous provocations that overwhelm the public's capacity to process or resist any single threat effectively. By creating numerous critical fronts, the administration prevents focused opposition while advancing on all fronts.

Trump’s planned military parade on his birthday is another disturbing symbol of authoritarian demagoguery that he is embracing.

The ongoing dollar sell-off represents the market's assessment of American stability under current leadership. The dollar sell-off is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the longer it continues, the more impossible it will be to reverse. Even if Trump is evicted from power, the legacy of the dollar decline will haunt America for decades to come.
