Expectations for the Years 2005 to 2008

For those not familiar with my background, in ascending order I’m a metrologist (the science of measurements), a writer, an economist, and an adherent of critical thinking as the antidote to ignorance and the best known pathway to enlightenment. This essay is about financial economics, featuring how Donald Trump could increase his net worth from $7 billion to $100 billion by 2028. Hint: His present plans suggest he wants to screw about 80 percent of the world’s inhabitants in his quest for money and wealth, while making his love of swamps and dictators an art form.

I am neither a psychologist nor a psychiatrist. But if megalomania is a mental condition stemming from excessive concern for self, immersed in the strong desire for riches, and with little or no care about who gets hurt in the pursuit of more wealth, he is it. He is also a dictator, or at least a wannabe dictator, and an incoherent liar on a grand scale. Perhaps those identifiers are also symptoms of megalomania. I am merely offering them as symptoms of the same disorder witnessed in other dictators from the distant past to the present.

Now to the issue at hand (all fact checked via Microsoft Artificial Intelligence sources).

Objectives. I believe Donald Trump has the over-arching desire to join the club of the world’s richest men. When he won the Presidency back in 2016, he was worth approximately 1 billion. Today, he is worth around $7 billion. I think he would like to join that exclusive club of billionaires with a net worth of $100 billion by 2028.

Stock Market Manipulations. Insider trading is the act of buying or selling stocks before the rest of us know that something is going to happen that will drive prices up on down, then selling your stock for ill-gotten gains when the price moves in your direction. It’s against the law. But nobody seems to care any longer about the mockery he makes of the law, especially 6 key members of Supreme Court.

He is virtually alone in his ability to make shockingly deceptive news. Just yesterday he imposed tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese goods imported into the US. More likely than not, his financial advisors were ready to capture the 2 to 4 percent drop in the major markets that had already occurred. A $150 million windfall would have been an easy and reachable one-day goal. Watch for similar “ups” and “downs” in the coming years. 30 such surges in stock values in three years could net Trump $10 billion.

Ukraine’s Minerals. Trump wants 50 percent of Ukraine’s mineral rights in exchange for his help in making a deal to end the conflict started by Vladimir Putin for no reason other than he was certain he could get away with it. Adolf Hitler did the same thing. Historians called Hitler’s antics acquiring lebensraum (living room). Hilert raised a healthy crop of blue-eyed, blond boys and girls via his use of Scheissfarmen (copulation farms). An AI search puts estimates of the value of Ukraine’s strategic minerals at more than a trillion dollars. If we accept $1 trillion as their value, and $500 billion as the US cut of those minerals, then it is within the scope of the possible. Trump and Putin could net $50 billion each in such an exchange.

MAD Agreement. There are other aspects of wealth that is there for manipulation if done in secret. A new agreement with Putin dealing with making mutually assured destruction (MAD) appear to be a settled issue. It might take the form of a formal agreement between NATO and Russia, followed by a promise to reduce nuclear stockpiles completely in 25 years. The world could breathe a collective sigh of relief, and stock values would soar. Both Trump and Putin would need to make such an announcement simultaneously once they were positioned to collect handsomely in rising world stock values. Potential gain: $50 + billion dollars.

I won’t put my metrology nor my economic credentials at risk, namely, that my guesses will all come true , but the writer and the critical thinker in me say I am on safe grounds that these “educated guesses” will come to pass. Trump as stated that he believes Providence spared him that fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania when a sniper’s bullet clipped his ear in order for him to fulfill his wishes during his Presidency. 30,000 MAGA lies all say he’s full of shit.
