America Loves the Truth, and so does Gold

America Loves the Truth, and so does Gold

Trump is pissed off and doesn’t care anymore. He’s running a scorched-earth campaign against the weaponized agencies that have conspired against him for years. He’s bringing Americans what they desperately want—the truth. Trump is tearing apart bloated, entrenched legacy systems that have controlled food, health, politics, spending, and safety for decades. The U.S. monetary system is next.

Foreign enemies have stopped buying U.S. Treasuries. China has been accumulating tonnes of gold instead of reinvesting in U.S. debt. The U.S. holds $37 trillion in debt, with no one left to finance it. It’s no secret that America has a major debt problem. Trump is the only one with the strength to confront overspending and financial imbalances head-on.

Gold is the only truly independent world reserve currency. Countries that run afoul of U.S. policy can have their USD reserves erased from the electronic ledger with a keystroke. Gold, however, is stored independently within each nation, protected by its military. U.S. trade partners are tired of American interference and have chosen gold over dollar-based assets. Mark Bristow, CEO of Barrick Gold, sums it up best: “Gold is becoming the preferred reserve currency for central banks.”

Gold is flowing back into the U.S. from London. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated, “We’re going to monetize the asset side of the U.S. balance sheet for the American people.” The U.S.’s primary asset is 237.2 million ounces of gold. The government plans to revalue gold, long held at its 1971 price of $41/oz, to at least its current market price of $2,900/oz. This would instantly create an $800 billion surplus for the government—a sizable sum, but still just a drop in the bucket compared to the U.S.’s $37 trillion debt.

There are multiple ways the U.S. could use gold to strengthen the dollar. The government could revalue gold above its market price, issue gold-backed 50-year bonds, or peg 4% of GDP to gold like European allies.

Something is brewing, and GP isn’t sure what the final outcome will be. No one can predict the future, if anyone tells you they can, they’re lying. But one thing is certain: gold is coming back as a monetary asset, driving demand and pushing prices higher. Even Trump acknowledged this yesterday, saying, “Gold prices may go up in the short term” due to upcoming policy changes. Trump knows gold is the truth.

Trump and Bessent need a weaker dollar to execute their economic plan. The U.S. faces the Triffin Dilemma—as the world’s reserve currency, the U.S. must run persistent trade deficits to meet global demand, which keeps the dollar’s value artificially high. These deficits have been crippling the country. The only way to devalue the USD while maintaining global confidence is through gold.

It’s clear that a new monetary framework is being set up. Similar to the Plaza Accord of 1985—when G7 financial leaders intervened in currency markets to devalue the dollar—GP believes this monetary reset will be called the Mar-A-Lago Accord.

Another major shift is Basel III banking reform. This reclassifies physical gold as a Tier 1 asset, making it the foundation of the monetary system. Meanwhile, loanable, paper gold remains an inferior Tier 3 asset. U.S. banks must comply with these new standards by July 2025.

For years, rumors have circulated that U.S. gold reserves have been leased out multiple times over. The extra paper supply has kept a lid on gold prices. They say there’s no fever like gold fever, so banks have suppressed gold prices to maintain the dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency.

Basel III changes everything—making loanable gold nearly worthless to banks. The entire leveraged paper pyramid based on gold could be in its final days. Once Basel III takes full effect, gold will trade solely on physical supply and demand. With deep-pocketed central banks driving demand and supply remaining constrained, the setup for higher gold prices is undeniable.
