The threat of BRICS creating a new currency or backing something other than the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency has hung over America since Joe Biden was installed. President-Elect Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet today with a threat that will resonate across the globe.
He went full Beast Mode.
As he posted on Truth Social:
The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.
100% tariffs. That’s essentially a death penalty for pretty much any nation that relies on exports because the United States is by far the world’s largest consumer. Critics will say that such tariffs will increase costs for Americans, but they’re missing the point. This isn’t about raising tariffs. It’s about preventing the collapse of the U.S. Dollar.
President Trump just announced that he will impose a 100% tariff on all products from countries that join BRICS or try to replace the U.S. dollar in international trade.
This is about to cause worldwide panic.

De-dollarization has been on the horizon since the Biden regime weaponized SWIFT against Russia following their invasion of Ukraine. But the Ruble only suffered temporarily before becoming stronger than ever. The move prompted many nations to seek a safer alternative; if the United States was willing to use control of international commerce to punish another nation, then an alternative needed to be found.
This move by President Trump changes the calculus completely.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
