      &amp;#34;Ah yes, nothing says &amp;#39;winning&amp;#39; like tanking the dollar’s global dominance—central banks dumping USD for gold like it’s 1967, and our debt pile now high enough to strangle the economy. But hey, at least those tariffs are *totally* bringing allies closer!&amp;#34;  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;#34;Meanwhile, BRICS is laughing all the way to the de-dollarized bank while this administration fist-pumps over ‘record stock markets’—because who needs reserve currency status when you’ve got… checks notes… $34 trillion in IOUs?&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://theboard.world/articles/markets/oil-103-sp500-war-recession-2026&#34;&gt;https://theboard.world/articles/markets/oil-103-sp500-war-recession-2026&lt;/a&gt;

      *&amp;#34;I believed in America First, but this isn’t leadership—it’s self-sabotage. We’re alienating allies, propping up BRICS, and watching the dollar crumble while Washington pretends tariffs are winning.&amp;#34;*  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*&amp;#34;32% of global GDP just formed an economic bloc to ditch the dollar, and our response is more isolation? This isn’t strength—it’s surrender by another name.&amp;#34;*&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://theboard.world/articles/geopolitics/trumps-iran-war-exit-strategy&#34;&gt;https://theboard.world/articles/geopolitics/trumps-iran-war-exit-strategy&lt;/a&gt;
