Trump's Tariffs Just Sent Markets Tumbling… But It's About to Get Uglier.

For decades, foreign nations have bled America dry by exploiting trade loopholes and enriching themselves off of our backs.

But now, Pres. Trump's tariffs are forcing China, Mexico, Canada, and the EU to finally pay their fair share.

However, the globalists have set up a system where standing up to decades of unfair trade doesn't come without consequences.

Because right after Trump's tariff announcements...

The Dow Jones suffered one of its WORST collapses of the year—a brutal plunge that rattled millions of IRA and 401(k) savers.
But former JPMorgan Chief Strategist Marko Kolanovic saw something even more unsettling in what CNBC acknowledges was a “steep decline”...
And he immediately issued an eerie warning:
“We are now dangerously close to correction territory.”

Why is that?

Well, to answer that question, we first have to look back at what happened in 2018…

When President Trump imposed tariffs focused almost exclusively on China's $505 billion exports to America.

According to NY Fed's Mary Amiti, this single move vaporized $1.7 trillion from US stock prices.

But now. the stakes are far higher...

Because Trump has slapped LARGER tariffs on not only China and placed Mexico and Canada on hold...

And he's just confirmed that the ENTIRE European Union bloc is next in line.

In total, we're looking at tariffs on $1.981 trillion of US imports…

Which could mean IRA and 401(k) accounts could lose more than 3 times what they did in 2018.
That's why the smart money isn't waiting around for the losses to hit.

Instead, Wall Street's fattest cats are already pouring BILLIONS into physical gold…

The one "safe haven" asset that explodes in value during trade wars, stock market selloffs, and even inflation.

Leading the Financial Times to warn:
People can't get their hands on gold because so much has been shipped to New York.
And because of this shortage and unprecedented buying spree, the price of gold just broke another all-time high.
Do you think President Trump will change his tactics to bring foreign nations to their heels?

That's why we put together a 100% FREE 2025 Gold Guide that reveals exactly how thousands of everyday Americans are positioning themselves for gold NOW.

Inside, you'll discover a little-known IRS loophole that lets you transfer a portion of your 401(k) or IRA into gold tax-free and penalty-free.

Don't be left behind.

Those who aren't positioned now may not get another chance to buy gold at a price anywhere close to this.
