I tend to agree about Trump having handlers, but some of what is going on at times makes me think he’s also draining the swamp. The confusing part is that the swamp creatures are also the neocon warmongers.
I sense the Pakistan thing has as much to do with US support of India and also China and Pakistan talking about bilateral trade that excludes the USD. Almost as if he’s pushing them to go ahead and do it. Maybe he’s just trying to save some aid money.
You had some interesting comments about the dollar, if it is the dollar’s turn to weaken then they appear to be doing a pretty good job of it. I guess we should probably expect a bounce soon though.
