President Trump does a presser with Vladimir Putin and the world goes insane.

Democrats cry treason and we deconstruct some culture.

Also, I want to remind you that China has now announced $50 billion in tariffs to counter America's $50 billion in tariffs across 1,300 product categories. All of this can cause serious price inflation. A hedge against inflation and a hedge against uncertainty and instability can be precious metals.
