It’s getting harder and harder to bet against Trump.
Time and again the President appears to be blustering his way through another delicate geopolitical/ economic situation. Time and again numerous pundits or political figures with allegedly better qualifications and more nuanced insights on the issue tell the media that the President is out of his league/ depth/ [insert an insult here].
And yet, practically every time, the President ends up signing a deal or landing a contract, or some other improbable success.
At this point, it’s becoming almost comedic. Heck just a week ago I wrote that the geopolitical world was in a kind of Groundhog Day the basic formula of which was as follows:
- Trump proclaims that Iran has been decimated and desperately wants a peace deal.
- Iran attacks/ threatens an attack on Israel or U.S.-aligned entities.
- Trump threatens to [insert over the top language] Iran.
- Allegedly a peace deal is worked on behind the scenes.
- Trump proclaims the deal is [insert unsatisfactory language].
- Return to #1.
Indeed, we went through something like 27 iterations of this over the last six weeks. In fact, on Friday, right after President Trump claimed the outline of a Peace Deal with Iran was in place, the Iranian media reported that the country’s leadership denied approving any text regarding an agreement.
Then, within 48 hours a deal was formally announced with both Iran and the U.S. agreeing to terms. Stocks erupted higher and are now close to new all-time highs.
None of this is meant to be a glowing depiction of President Trump. But you must admit, it’s becoming ridiculous just how many precarious situations he emerges from successfully.
I bring all of this up, because the President wants stocks to go higher. And at this point, betting against it is starting to look foolish.
For one thing, the President references stocks on a near constant basis. Just yesterday he commented that ““Oil is Plummeting Down, and the Stock Market is Shooting Up like a Rocket.”
This is not mere cheerleading, either.
The Trump administration has made a bull market in stocks one of its central themes both through the promotion of “Trump Accounts” (stock-based accounts through which the administration will invest $1,000 for every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028) as well as actively taking stakes in publicly traded companies: Intel (INTC), MP Materials (MP), Trilogy Metals, USA Rare Earth (USAR) and others.
In simple terms, the Trump administration is telling you that it believes stocks are not only one of the best assets to own to establish prosperity, but it also believes that certain companies are deemed critical in terms of national security.
Heck, the White House’s economic agenda website lists the fact that the S&P 500 “set 39 record highs in 2025” as one of the President’s top 10 “Promises Made, Promises Kept!”
The point I’m trying to make here is that the President WANTS stocks to go higher. And betting against him, especially considering his efforts to co-opt the Fed (the Trump administration has now installed three of the seven Fed Board of Governors and could control four of them if it succeeds in forcing Lisa Cook to resign) is likely a mistake.
Yes, there will be corrections and dips… but do you really want to bet against an administration that A) seems to emerge victorious against all odds and B) is literally signing legislation that aligns Americans’ prosperity with the stock market?
I don’t. Stocks are up over 25% since the President took office. And with his administration “all in” on pumping the markets higher, the easy play is to ride the bull market for as long as possible.
In terms of profiting from this mess, we just published a Special Investment Report concerning FIVE secret investments you can use profit from the next major bull run in precious metals miners.
The report is titled Survive the Inflationary Storm. And it explains my top precious metals plays, including their names, their symbols, and the resources they own. These are HIGH OCTANE positions that rallied 75%, 140%, 150%, 180%, 280% and an incredible 574% in 2025. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see them repeat this performance in 2026.
Normally I’d charge $499 for this report as a standalone item, but in light of what is unfolding today, we are making just 100 copies available to the public.
To grab one of the last remaining copies…
