If they fear the numbers will show something the Big Boss won’t like…they’ll just stop pulling those numbers entirely and voila! That particular statistic no longer exists….thereby eliminating the risk of becoming the target of the Boss’ ire for delivering news he doesn’t want to hear. Zeihan generally uses China’s Xi regime as a prime example of deliberate omission and non-reporting of unfavorable numbers. This announcement seems clearly designed to condition America’s industries and citizens for similar tactics from the Trump administration.

The last thing Trump would do is go back to the gold standard. He has run up more debt than any other every other president in history.
