I am about to state some negative facts about Donald Trump.
These are facts, not my opinions.
Before I state them, yes, the left is very bad. Yes, the left has played an active role in destroying the America I grew up in during the 1980s (which you can’t un-destroy by electing someone like Trump, which is my entire point).
However, if your only response to me when I state these negative facts about Trump is to blurt out something like “Kamala would have been worse” or “the left is bad”, then you have proven my point about how insane you are.
If you have to put someone in power who is this damaging to your country because the other person is worse, then:
1. Why the hell are you still living in the United States?
and
2. Why the hell are you still voting in presidential elections?
Just keep that in mind as I relay these facts about Trump.
These are the six big, horrible things that Donald Trump has done to the United States, a nation already in a state of rapid collapse when he took office in January, in just the last six months of him being President.
Item #1
He completely destroyed the retirements and small businesses of millions of Americans (my elderly mother included) because of his shocking and idiotic mishandling of his tariffs.
Once he had screwed up the tariffs, tanked the stock market, and destroyed billions of dollars of Americans’ wealth, he rescinded his tariffs exactly as I predicted he would in these very articles.
Even someone with a mid-level understanding of macroeconomics knows you can’t jack up tariffs if your country has no manufacturing base without causing mass chaos and destruction. I explained that already in this article here.
Item #2
He kicked out Elon Musk and shut down DOGE, again, exactly as I predicted he would when Trump supporters were cheering this back in December, as if America was saved (again).
I clearly said back then at my blog, in my newsletters, and on my YouTube channel that Elon Musk would not be able to do anything significant to reduce federal government spending and would eventually resign in disgust.
That is not only what happened, but it’s precisely and exactly what happened.
Once again, I was right, and once again, the Trump supporters were wrong.
To quote Doug Casey (someone who hates the left more than most of you):
There’s no attempt to implement the findings of the DOGE, which uncovered immense amounts of fraud, waste, and corruption within the US government.
DOGE could have changed the course of the US. But it turned out to be nothing but a shameless PR stunt. No wonder Musk quit in disgust.
So yeah, are you Trump supporters tired of winning yet… or tired of losing?
Oh, but we’re not even close to being done, Cupcake…
Item #3
Trump has kept he war in Ukraine going, something he could have ended in his first week in office, like he promised but didn’t do.
Trump could end the war in Ukraine any time he wants. All he has to do is cut off funding to Ukraine and stop sending American taxpayer dollars across the seas to the second most corrupt country in Europe to fight in a war against another corrupt country that we Americans have nothing to do with.
Trump continues to send billions of dollars of your taxpayer money (if you’re an American) to that stupid, destructive, completely ridiculous war.
Why?
Is that why you voted for him?
(And again, if your response is “But Kamala was the worse of two evils,” then congrats, you’re insane.)
Item #4
Although America’s number one reason for collapse is that the government spends too much money, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” increases federal borrowing by $3.9 trillion(!!!). It took Joe Biden FOUR ENTIRE YEARS to add $4.7 trillion to the deficit, but Trump added almost the same amount IN JUST ONE BILL.
Again, quoting from Doug Casey, who again, hates the left:
Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is nothing more than another trillion-dollar catastrophe, indistinguishable from Biden’s “Build Back Better” in all but rhetoric.
The bottom line of this bill is that it directs a lot more power and dollars toward the State—and in no way cuts it back.
It’s not just irresponsible spending. It’s a strategic transfer of wealth—from everyday Americans who are already being crushed by inflation, to the politically connected institutions that own the debt.
Trump’s bill—which includes $1 trillion in defense spending, a bloated Department of Agriculture, and new “Trump Accounts” for kids—only accelerates the decay.
It’s socialism in red-state clothing.
There are no tax cuts, no deregulation, no attempt to reduce government waste. It’s just more chaos. More complexity. More debt. And more power handed to the same people who created the problem.
It’s essentially 887 pages of additional things you must do, and must not do, with penalties for non-compliance, and new taxes to fund it all.
I’m sure glad you guys Made America Great Again! Great job, guys!
But oh… we’re still not done… now we’re getting to the really juicy stuff…
Item #5
Donald Trump obeyed the orders of Israel like a good little bitch and bombed Iran, perhaps the second or third most dangerous country in the world, because Israel told him to.
He tried to get Israel to calm down. Israel gave him the finger and launched missiles at everybody. And because Donald Trump is Israel’s bitch, he bombed Iran because Israel instructed him to do so.
Is this America First?
You want the President of the United States to be Israel’s bitch? Because that’s what Trump is.
Trump could have told Israel to fuck off just like he could have told Ukraine to fuck off. But nope, more war, more chaos, more death, more taxes, more making defense contractors rich, and more American money being sent to other countries.
And if your answer is “But Trump can’t do that, he’s only the President and the President doesn’t have that kind of power, Caleb,” then again I ask you, why bother voting in these elections when the person you vote for can’t do what you want? (The answer is, because you’re insane.)
And speaking of being Israel’s bitch…
Item #6
Donald Trump and his entire administration, after promising to get to the bottom of the Jeffrey Epstein evil, have now proven that they are shills of the elite and said that Jeffrey Epstein was essentially innocent.
Yep, according to Trump and his appointees, people you Trump Supporters were excited about just a few months ago (Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, etc), there was no client list, he really did kill himself, nothing to see here, please move on and stop asking us about this.
The last time something like this occurred, where public figures in power actually got in front of cameras and completely destroyed any and all credibility, was the left during COVID-19.
Now we have the right-wing Trump version, this cover-up and defense of Jeffrey Epstein. The evidence is overwhelming that Jeffrey Epstein was working with the Israeli government. And once again, Trump is Israel’s bitch and is actually upset at his own people when they want more answers regarding this Jeffrey Epstein thing.
He is actively defending the acts of violence against our children, America’s children.
Jesus.
It’s official. There is no getting around this now. As of now, July 2025, anyone who still supports Trump after all of this destruction to America’s future is just as bad for America as the woke left.
At this point, after all of this horror, any Trump supporter who still defends Donald Trump as of July 2025, even if they use the usual kindergarten-level excuses of “Kamala would have been worse / Hillary would have been worse / left wingers bad / etc,” are now just as insane, irrational, and destructive to the future of America as the woke left.
If you used to support Trump and have now finally seen the light and are making plans to leave the USA like I did, then great. I’m glad you’re finally joining us and have saved your future. Well done.
But if you still support Trump now (as of July 2025), you can’t hide anymore. You can’t defend him anymore without sounding like you’ve completely lost your mind… which you probably have.
And to repeat once again, if the only response you have to this when I state these facts is Kamala bad or left bad, you have just proven my point about how insane, self-destructive, and suicidal you are.
You are in a country in the middle of a collapse, and if all you have defending this reckless, corrupt man-child who is ruining your country is “left bad,” then you’re fucked. You’re going to need a lot more than that, and unfortunately, that’s all you’ve got.
What To Do Instead of Supporting Trump and Arguing With Left-Wingers
If you’re an American living in the USA, please, for the love of God, stop with this defending Trump bullshit and instead make plans to leave the United States as soon as you’re able.
I understand most of you can’t leave next week or next month, but you can make plans to leave the United States within the next 12 to 18 months at a bare minimum. There are no excuses.
At a bare minimum, stay in the Collapsing USA but set up an international backup plan like I’ve talked about for many years, where you have residency and a bank account in a foreign country that you can go to at any time, so you have somewhere to go when, not if, but when the United States eventually goes under, which has now been dramatically accelerated (yet again) under the presidency of this America destroyer you put in power because Kamala would have been worse.
A lot of you have already made this change. Good for you. Just be aware that now the Trump supporters, at least the ones who still support Trump as of July 2025, are on the record as being as bad for America as the woke left.
Please, get out of America. Get out now. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Posted at 01:19 pm, 25th July 2025I barely keep up with the news (learned decades ago how that stuff just makes you feel more impotent), but some stuff just filters through in everyday conversation or the occasional YouTube video. When I heard about Musk resigning in disgust, I thought to myself “pretty sure Caleb predicted exactly that”, lol!

Posted at 01:54 pm, 25th July 2025I agree with most of it. I am not American, and it was pretty clear that Trump couldn’t do anything what really would help the US. DOGE was at least a try and it brought more exposure to Libertarian ideas, but the system is beyond saving unlike in Argentina where you can actually do free-market reforms. I was rooting for Trump because of the Republican pro-Bitcoin stance (even Trump has no clue about Bitcoin himself) and his pardon of Russ Ulbricht. However, I saw the election as entertainment and nothing which really could positively impact my life. One more thing: for certain individuals the argument “Kamala would have been worse” can be valid. I dont have family in the US but I understand people voting for him to not get Kamala who possibly could have accelerated the collapse. People may have relatives they care for and they dont want a collapse happening super fast to protect their loved ones. I left my Western country but I wouldn’t want to have civil war there tomorrow so my parents have to leave their home while being close to retirement. Therefore voting for “a lesser evil” can have its reason for certain individuals. Not everybody is the same as you or me and I refuse to call people stupid who have their one unique situation. In short: I have some empathy.

Posted at 02:02 pm, 25th July 2025I have no desire to live in Trinidad & Tobago, but I am eligible for citizenship via ancestry (father) and can obtain a passport. A 2nd passport is definitely needed in these strange. times. It’s clear as day that Trump is a snake oil salesman, but his supporters do not care and they are willing to go down with the ship.

Posted at 05:40 pm, 25th July 2025This is sad but true. Personally I thought the only thing that was good about Trump was that he would stop wasting money in wars that have nothing to do with American security although even on this point there is no change compared to the last guy.
His second term is on track to become a bigger joke than the second George W Bush term, who at least didn’t have the disadvantage of close personal association with a child sex trafficker.
The USA is.going down the same way the USSR did. They had an inefficient state controlled economy that was collapsing under it’s own weight by the 1980s. The modern USA is a debt ponzi scheme. Two sides of the same coin. You can actually make the case that the current USA is doing even more evil things foreign policy wise.

Posted at 07:24 pm, 25th July 2025Covid, Biden, Trump… people have gotten so stupid and irrational that predicting this kind of thing has become easy.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 07:27 pm, 25th July 2025And I said in 2016 that he wouldn’t stop a single war. And I was right.
Seriously, Obama supporters thought the same thing about Obama in 2008. And I told them they were wrong also.
Yeah even I didn’t think Trump’s 1st year in his 2nd term would be this bad.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 07:31 pm, 25th July 2025Trump has accelerated the collapse, and in only 6 months. So no, it’s not valid.
Incorrect. Not when the evil you choose accelerates the collapse within just 6 months. I don’t think Kamala could have done that with Republican opposition in Congress had she won the election.
If you thought Trump would accelerate the collapse slower than Kamala, you were wrong, and you were wrong for at least the second time.
Therefore, in that case, you were/are either stupid or irrational. Usually irrational, to be fair.
And that’s a statement of fact, not my opinion.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 07:35 pm, 25th July 2025In 2018-19 after about 2-3 years of Trump when he didn’t build the wall after his supporters were screaming that non-stop from 2016-2018, none of his supporters said anything, and that’s when I realized that most (not all, but most of the loudest) supporters care about Trump rather than America.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 07:36 pm, 25th July 2025Why would you move from one quasi-socialist, quasi-authoritarian, collapsing, high-tax, high-cost country to another quasi-socialist, quasi-authoritarian, collapsing, high-tax, high-cost country?
It makes no sense, dude.
You have at least 40 better countries to move to than Authoritarian Australia.

Posted at 08:36 am, 26th July 2025Yeah, Trump sucks. We’ve known that since the mid-1980’s. However, as someone who owns crypto, I was VERY happy to see Gary Gensler, (one of SBF’s good buddies), get booted from office, and I am ECSTATIC about most of the crypto legislation being passed now. And firing a bunch of IRS agents was a good start. (Abolish the income tax and that damn agency!)
Having said that ……. I am an American citizen who no longer resides in the empire, and only visits to check in on my ailing parents. The center of my universe is gradually moving to SE Asia.

Posted at 01:25 pm, 27th July 2025The Ukraine war is pointless but doesn’t a Ukraine without arms just mean you end up with a Russian occupation of Ukraine and a sort to Afghanistan type of insurgency that will go on for decades and further destabilise other countries in Eastern Europe?
Caleb Jones
Posted at 02:28 pm, 28th July 2025And this is American taxpayers’ responsibility how?
Anon
Posted at 01:25 am, 31st July 2025Soft power. Aid to Ukraine is a rounding error in US spending, but protecting Europe and keeping it dependent on the US can be eventually converted into way bigger profits. Additionally, if the US helps Ukraine win, not only survive, but win, it shows China what will happen in case it attacks Taiwan, so the US prevents a huge problem at a modest cost.
In an old post you complained, and rightfully, that American invasions of other countries don’t fix anything and only breed terrorists, but here it’s the opposite—doesn’t cost a lot, no American casualties, can actually achieve the goal, no terrorists created, the US commands and other countries obey, what’s not to like?

Taiwan is a completely different story in every way. Only thing China can do is a blockade which is quite powerful and neither Taiwan nor US can do much about it. But direct attack on Taiwan is laughable. Taiwan unlike Ukraine is in a position to attack back so mightily that China would be so damaged it will no longer be a contestant for a superpower for many decades. If they actually manage to somehow take Taiwan it would be so destroyed there would be no benefit in having it.
Better example would be Israel, that is the third place chosen for proxy wars between the west and the russia-china block.

Posted at 12:59 pm, 1st August 2025This is a common LEFT WING argument, starting with Obama. “Hey it’s only X billions of dollars so who cares?”
The US government has sent $185 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars to Ukraine so far and will continue to do so. “Who cares?” Uh, the millions upon millions of Americans who could have kept that money and bettered their lives instead.
What if Elon or Bezos gave $185 billion to several thousand or million random normal Americans to help them out? Do you think that would make a immediate and positive difference?
That the government wastes trillions of taxpayer dollars already doesn’t suddenly make it an acceptable thing that they waste several hundred billion also.
Again, you are engaging in pure left-wing thinking, which, as I’ve said, most Americans (including Trump supporters) are today: fiscal left-wingers.
Now you’re engaged in pure neocon thinking.
It is not the role of the US government nor the responsibility of the American taxpayer to “keep Europe dependent on the US” so that some day maybe it will make us money.
How about slashing government spending by 80% and taxes and inflation the same amount in the USA? Don’t you think THAT will increase profits a lot more and faster?
But because you’re thinking like a left-winger and a neocon, that thought probably never even occurred to you.
Ukraine can’t win.
Incorrect. China already knows that which is why it will never directly attack Taiwan while the USA exists, as I’ve been saying for about 20 years.
Now once the USA collapses, because of left-wing and neocon thinking like you’re doing, China will move in almost immediately.
Bingo.
But you don’t seem to care.
Jesus. What’s not to like…
Hopeless.
Leave America folks; this is how most Americans think.

Posted at 06:35 pm, 4th August 2025The United States is slowly but surely becoming a Banana republic, just like the Central America states, except the US serves the interests of Trump and his friends who, if they’re aware of the american collapse being imminent, are just robbing what’s left before it goes down, it’s not hard to make this conclusion, just look at all the market manipulation they are doing with their tweets and tariffs, plus the BBB and probably other forms of corruption that we aren’t aware yet
doclove
Posted at 02:01 pm, 7th August 2025Your 6 criticisms are valid, but Trump is still better than Harris as of now. The first reason is that he is on average likelier to nominate better Federal Judges than Harris or any other Democrat. The second reason is that he is still opposed to child transgender nonsense. Child Transgender is wrong to such an extent that is worse letting boys enlist as young as age 8 in the American Civil War. Many were taken prisoner, maimed. mutilated, driven to PTSD and killed in the American Civil War. The same is happening and will happen ever more with child transgender. Note that I said nothing about Adult Transgender.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 02:32 pm, 7th August 2025How does less-bad federal judges help when your country’s economy has collapsed because of rampant overspending, wars, tariffs, and so on?
Why does transgender bullshit matter when your country’s economy has collapsed because of rampant overspending, wars, tariffs, and so on?
You’re so focused on culture war bullshit (which you right-wingers already lost a long time ago) that you can’t see the big picture of what’s really important and what will actually destroy the USA.
Transgenderism and/or woke culture won’t destroy the USA. Economics will.
doclove
Posted at 02:50 pm, 7th August 2025I have agreed with you that the USA will collapse soon enough. I agree that it is mostly about economics as to why it will collapse. Having better Federal Judges will make the collapse very slightly less bad. The USA is a plane with 100 people aboard. If the Democrats and Harris won then all 100 die. but if Trump and the Republicans win then 99 die. Would you prefer the USA be like Canada which arrests and convicts parents for disagreeing with their child trans-gendering?

Posted at 02:43 am, 19th August 2025@ Caleb Jones
I thank you for discrediting yourself. The most obvious way you discredited yourself is by not coming out against child transgenderism. The less obvious way is not acknowledging that the Republicans are at least one percent better than the Democrats. Nothing in this world is exactly the same between one thing or another thing. and if something is slightly better or slightly worse, then admit that. It may make little difference, but it is still a difference. I have listened to reasonable people say that the Republicans and Democrats as well as Trump and Harris are between 66% to 99% the same. I personally think they are about 90% the same, but not 100% the same the way you seem to do.
Caleb Jones
Posted at 06:25 pm, 19th August 2025I am against child transgenderism.
And child transgenderism isn’t the #1 reason America is collapsing. It’s not even reason #2, #3, #4, or #5. Reason #1 by far is because your government spends too much money, which Trump makes worse.
You’re focused on a piece of trash on the beach while a 3,000 foot tsunami is towering over your head about to destroy your city.
America is fucked directly because of people like you.

Posted at 03:20 pm, 25th August 2025@ Caleb Jones
I said that economic reasons are the primary reason the USA will collapse on 7 August 2025 in my comment above. I agree that one of the most important economic reasons the USA will collapse is because the government spends too much money whether under Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Republicans, Democrats etc. I am glad that you came out against child transgenderism. I used the child transgenderism issue just to show how much more the Democrats are deranged and evil than the Republicans, I agree that the Republicans are deranged and evil too. Saying America is directly fucked because of people like me is as ridiculous as saying America is fucked because of people like you, America is fucked because we have a ruling elite who are worse than the ruling elite that was overthrown in the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution. Democracy and voting make the least amount of difference at the federal or national level. It gets slightly better at the state level, better still at the county level and most of all at the local level. Even at the local level it may make little difference, The bureaucracies and lobbies have made voting and democracy into an increasing farce and sick joke.

Posted at 10:05 am, 21st September 2025It’s literally all theater.
To a degree and longevity that would shock all of you.
The way to look at it is this.
The government agencies brag that they have over 1 million employees. True or not, think of everyone you see on social media and TV. What do you think the people at these agencies do every single day?
They have someone for every single interest group. The left, the right, the libertarians (the classical liberals), and so on. They have moved everyone from the left to the right effectively over the last century or so. The left was once against censorship and war and you recently saw them flip and start cheering for it. Now, the right cheers for the same.
They flip people’s passions like pancakes.
No one you know is a serial killer or shoots up schools.
No one you will EVER know in most cases, would ever do such a thing out of personal self interest and survival instincts.
Every single time it’s a manufactured event and one of many.
Only the real alpha man who knows the full truth can name who “they” are, but please, do not do it here.
“They” have been at it for thousands of years, manufacturing just about every single event and history we believe to be true.
