As the world watches U.S. bombs fall on Iran, amid rising U.S. military casualties and an unclear strategy, Donald Trump’s manufactured anger distracts from a reality he increasingly tries to conceal. His treasonous presidency is showing cracks.
He daily juggles his role as the president, his self-focused accumulated wealth as the head of his businesses, his cloaked and dangerous obligation to Mr. Putin, and his own narcissistic conscious feeding his psychopathic ego – all combined with a diminished intelligence.
These constant rotating variables often explode into frustration and anger, but his ingrained “con man” persona and his mastery of deception continue to fool half the American public.
After twenty years living and working in Russia and in Russian-speaking countries, I transcended the enormous gap between U.S. openness and Russian clandestine and surreptitious behavior. I developed the skill of continual deductive reasoning and methodical analysis – where in the U.S. fundamental judgements were blacker and whiter. Mr. Trump’s repeated efforts to deceive Americans have reawakened my Russian reasoning skills and I write for one paramount purpose – to warn Americans.
First and foremost, Americans must begin to question Mr. Trump’s loyalty to the U.S. The facts are obvious and the list is long demonstrating his compliance with Mr. Putin’s wishes – all which lead to the destruction of the United States and to the benefit of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc. – all enemies of the United States. And Mr. Trump is running out of allies to insult and alienate. This fact was obvious at the recent NATO meeting, where he once again berated Denmark regarding Greenland. He appears unaware that he has alienated nearly every ally available to target, while his enemies continue to grow.
Trump has diverted attention from what is happening to the “dollar” – the bedrock of American stability – to his excessive spending, his demolishing the White House, his ICE and immigration policies, his various threats, and his wars. As explained by Susan Riebe, “here is the story most Americans missed.”
In 1974, Henry Kissinger flew to Saudi Arabia and made a deal. All oil everywhere in the world would be traded in US dollars. Not gold. Not pounds. Not marks. Not yuan. Dollars.
That one agreement gave America something no military could ever win on a battlefield. Every country on earth needed dollars to buy oil. Every country on earth had to hold dollars in reserve. Every country on earth was forced into America’s financial system not by choice, but by energy. That is the petrodollar. And it gave America 52 years of the most powerful financial dominance in world history. (Ibid)
Here is what just happened: Iran announced it will accept yuan, China’s currency, for oil instead of dollars. Iran is allowing oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz only when that oil is traded in yuan. You do not hear this from Ms. Karoline Leavitt, from Republican Congressional men and women, from FOX News, or from Trump himself.
“At least two vessels have already settled transit fees in yuan. Deutsche Bank put it directly: this conflict could become “the catalyst for erosion in petrodollar dominance — and the beginnings of the petroyuan. And, because oil is the world’s most traded commodity, every nation that imports energy must first acquire the currency oil is priced in.” (Ibid)
When oil was priced in dollars, global demand for the dollar increased. Countries held U.S. Treasury bonds as reserves, allowing America to borrow, spend, and print money cheaply for decades.
“As of mid-2026, the United States owes mainland China approximately $659.3 billion. This figure has been steadily declining from its 2013 historical peak of $1.31 trillion, as China actively diversifies its reserves away from U.S. financial assets due to geopolitical tensions and currency management goals.” (AI Overview)
“The dollar’s power was never about ‘America’ being strong. It was about oil being priced in dollars. The day that changes – everything changes.” (Ibid) The shift will be gradual, but each ship paying in yuan to pass through the Strait of Hormuz brings the United States one step closer to ruin. At home, this gradual de-dollarization could eventually raise import prices, fuel domestic inflation, and weaken the U.S. government’s ability to finance the national debt – an American taxpayer liability that has increased by $7.8 Trillion dollars during Donald Trump’s term. (Wikipedia) If gas seems expensive now, expect it to rise even more along with all other consumer foods and goods.
The Iran–U.S. war has not ended, in part, because global energy markets need time to shift from dollars to yuan. Even if Mr. Trump continues bombing Iran - at the cost of about $2 Billion per day - U.S. petrodollar dominance is already weakening. Trump has lifted sanctions on Russian oil, while China is gaining recognition as the next global leader. The wheels are turning.
Mr. Trump does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize he covets; instead, he merits an Oscar for his extraordinary performance as a deceptive and treasonous American president, controlled by an enemy intent on destroying the United States.
