President Trump's plan to reset the United States dollar is now underway. On May 22nd, President Trump swore in the new chair at the Federal Reserve Bank to help rebuild the United States dollar. But for the swearing in of our new chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Kevin Walsh. Kevin, right now the United States dollar is at risk because we have over $39 trillion worth of national debt and people around the world are starting to lose faith in the United States dollar. This is where President Trump's plan is not to pay off the debt by cutting expenses. It's not to pay off the debt by raising taxes.
It's to inflate away our national debt. And President Trump is hoping that the new Fed chair will help him achieve that goal. Take a listen. Because we do have some debt we'd like to take care of. And the way you do that is through growth. We're going to grow our way out of it so fast. And uh Kevin's somebody and I feel strongly also we don't want to see it stifled. We want to stop inflation, but we don't want to stop greatness. There's only one problem with that. You can't inflate away the debt without somebody paying the price. And most people aren't going to realize it until they feel the pain in their wallet. That's why in this video, I want to lay
out President Trump's three-part plan to protect, save, and hopefully reset the United States dollar. Not just so you understand what might be coming, but to understand how this could create potential investment opportunities as well. So, make sure you stick with me until the end of this video. By the way, this is one of the reasons why on June 16th, I'm hosting a live free and virtual investor workshop where I'm going to be showing you my firm's research as to where opportunities are changing in our economy and how they create investment opportunities. Because with all the changes in Trump's economy, with all the changes with AI and with all the changes of the geopolitical stuff happening, a lot of people are
panicking. But it creates investment opportunity. And I'll be showing you where that opportunity is on my live workshop on June 16th at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time, noon. And as a bonus, when you sign up for my workshop, you're also going to get added to Market Briefs, which is my newsletter for investors, read by hundreds of thousands of investors every single day. And when you actually show up live on June 16th, you're going to get a free digital copy of my company's new book, How Money Changed Forever. but you have to actually show up live on June 16th at 12 PM Eastern time noon to get a free
digital copy of this book. So, if you're an investor or want to be an investor, I invite you to join me on my investing workshop on June 16th. Again, I have that link for you down in the description below. Now, in order to understand the three-part plan to reset the dollar, you have to understand how the government's finances work. The way that it works is the United States government has one source of revenue. It's tax dollars from taxpayers. Now, the government has a lot of different types of taxes. You pay taxes when you get paid. It's called your payroll tax.
You have FICA taxes. That's your social security and Medicare tax. You have your capital gains tax, which is when you buy an investment and sell it for a profit. You have your property taxes. If you buy a house and you live in it, you have to pay property tax every single year. You have sales taxes. You have tariff taxes. You have corporate taxes. You have a whole bunch of different types of taxes. Well, the government collects these taxes and then they go out and then they spend money. They spend money on things like social security. They spend money
on Medicare. They spend money on the military. And they spend money on our national debt. Well, the problem is the government doesn't just spend what we generate from taxes. The government spends more than what we generate from taxes. That's why we have a little bit over $39 trillion worth of national debt right now. Because the government has spent $39 trillion that it doesn't have. And now because it's spent all this money we don't have. It has to pay interest on that money. Which is why the fastest growing expense for our government. It's not our military. It's not infrastructure. It's the interest payments on this debt. Well, if the government has spent $39 trillion that
it doesn't have, it has to get that money from somewhere. This is where the government has to go out and borrow that money in the form of debt. So the government borrows this money from foreign countries like Japan and China and the United Kingdom. It borrows this money from people like you and me and other private institutions. And then it borrows this money from the Federal Reserve Bank. And the Federal Reserve Bank is actually not a bank because you and I cannot go there to deposit money. It's not a cash reserve because it's not sitting on any reserves and it's not federal. It says so on its website. But the Federal Reserve Bank has the ability to do two things. It can adjust interest
rates, meaning it can move them higher or lower. And it has the ability to print money. So when the government spends trillions of dollars that it doesn't have, the Federal Reserve Bank can print that money out of thin air and lend it to the United States government. But this is where things start to get really interesting, especially when you look at what President Trump is doing. Because remember, the Federal Reserve Bank is not federal. That means the government cannot tell the Federal Reserve Bank what to do. But if a chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank has their term expire, that's when the government, meaning the president, can appoint a new leader at the Federal Reserve Bank. And that's exactly what
happened. On May 15th, 2026, the previous chairman, Jerome Powell, saw his term expire. So, President Trump was able to come in and appoint his own chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank. And President Trump has said that he's going to appoint somebody who listens to what President Trump wants. And what does President Trump want? A booming economy, a booming stock market, and low interest rates. Now, the question is, will this new chairman actually do that? Time will tell. But this is where you want to pay attention to the three-part plan that President Trump wants to see play out. Now, here's the problem. The United States dollar used to be backed by physical gold. But then on August
15th, 1971, then President Richard Nixon took the dollar off of the gold standard, which meant our money now became fiat currency, meaning it's just a piece of paper that's backed by our government. And you can start to see now when you just are transacting with dollars that are not backed by anything, how people can lose trust or value in the dollar if you just print a lot of these dollars. And that's the situation that we're running into. And now because we have so much debt, people around the world are saying, "I don't know if I want to keep trusting my wealth in the United States dollar." And this is where President Trump has a three-step plan.
Starting with number one, the financial repression. We've seen this financial repression happen in the past in the United States. And while history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it does rhyme. So, let me show you what happened in the past in the United States by showing you the numbers. And then I'm going to show you what President Trump wants to do now, which is something we've never seen happen before. In 1946, after spending so much money on World War II, the United States entered a debt problem. We had $271 billion of national debt. While our economy measured through a number called GDP was only $222 billion large, which meant we had a debt to GDP ratio of about 122%. We had more national debt
than the size of the economy. And this is where the government started a financial repression to help solve this debt crisis because right now we were underwater on our debt. And the government did not work to pay off the debt. Instead, the government were to inflate away the value of that debt. Take a look at what happened a few decades later when we came to 1974. By 1974, our national debt did not shrink. It grew from 271 billion to $486 billion. But take a look at this. Our economy grew even faster. Our economy grew from $222 billion to about $1.5 trillion. Which means now our debt to GDP ratio fell from 122% all the way to around 32%.
So now you can see our national debt grew but the national debt problem fell. This is what the financial repression is all about. Now let's take a look at where we are today in 2026. Today in 2026, we have national debt of around $39 trillion while our economy is about $30 trillion large, which means our debt to GDP ratio is approximately 130%. We are underwater on our debt based off of the size of our economy. It's actually worse than where we were back in 1946. And this is where now a lot of people around the world are saying, I don't know what's going on with the dollar. I'm concerned about inflation. I'm concerned about the value
of the dollar because we have so much debt relative to the value of our economy. And this is where President Trump wants to do something like this. But in order for this financial repression to actually work, there must be two things that happen at the exact same time, in order for the debt problem to get better. Rule number one, for financial repression to work is you need low interest rates. More specifically, you need interest rates lower than the inflation rate. And then number two is you need lenders who are willing to lose money on every single dollar that they lend. Let me explain how it happened in the past because while history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it does rhyme and you'll see what President Trump wants to
do with number two because that's where things really get interesting. Let's go back in time to 1946. Now interest rates are at around 2.5%. And when I say interest rates here, what I mean is if you were to lend your money to the United States government, because remember the government is deep in debt, the government is going to pay you 2.5% in interest on your money. At the same time, inflation is approximately 10%. Which means if you were to lend your money to the United States government, you're getting a 2.5% return while your money is losing 10% of its value every year because of inflation. Now, your question is going to be, well, why would anybody lend their money to the
government and lose money? Well, I'll talk about number two in just a second, but this is where we were back in 1946. This allowed the government to essentially borrow money for free because remember, you're borrowing money cheaper than inflation. So, the government's borrowing money for free. That way, they could grow the economy faster than our debt. And take a look at what the numbers were by 1974. By 1974, the numbers started to equalize. We'll see the interest rates started to go up while inflation was still high. But this was around the time where the government and the Federal Reserve Bank really started to jack up interest rates as a way to bring inflation down. But what happened during this period is the
government was able to borrow money for essentially free. That way the economy could grow faster than the national debt. Here we are today in 2026 and interest rates are somewhere between 4 to 5%. While inflation is at 3%. So you can see that right now we are not in that financial repression environment because interest rates are higher than inflation. And this is where President Trump says that he wants and we will see lower interest rates very quickly. Now, of course, the question is, are we actually going to see lower interest rates? That's a completely different story. Kevin Worsh, the new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank, says he's not going to be a sock puppet. What does
that mean? We will ultimately see, but maybe he will cut interest rates, maybe he won't. Only time will tell. But we know President Trump wants these lower interest rates. Which brings me to number two. Who are these lenders? Why would anybody lend money to the government and get a two and a half% return when inflation is at 10%. And the reason why is the government almost made it mandatory for certain institutions, pension funds, and other investment funds out there to lend money to the United States government. Meaning the United States government created rules and laws to almost force people to lose money by lending money to the United States government. because otherwise
most investors would say I don't want to lend money at 2 and a half% when inflation is at 10%. But if the government forces you then it can become a little bit more likely because you have no other option. That's what we saw happen. The people that were savers holding on to cash became losers because the government required you to lose money. The person that became wealthy was the government. Well, what's going to happen now? Could the government force people to lend money to the government again? Well, it's already happening. See, this is where things really start to get unique because in the mid1 1940s, the United States dollar had just become the world's reserve currency, which means that countries around the world are saving their wealth
in the United States dollar and they're buying commodities around the world in the United States dollar. So, in this time, the dollar has a lot of trust. It has a lot of faith and it has a lot of belief. And the dollar is also backed by physical gold during this time in 1946. Fast forward today until in 26 and it's kind of the opposite. Today there are talks about the United States dollar potentially losing its status as the world's reserve currency. Today the dollar is not backed by gold and today certain countries around the world are less willing to lend their money to the United States. What we can infer from that is it would be more difficult today to get people to lend their money to the
United States at a loss than it was here because here the dollar strength was at an all-time high. Today, the dollar strength is not as high. So, what is the government doing to entice or force people to lend their money to the United States at a loss? We'll take a look. The Genius Act is a new law signed by President Trump which is requiring the stable coin companies to back their stable coins onetoone with the United States treasuries. In other words, President Trump is not trying to back the dollar with gold. He's not trying to back the dollar with oil. He's trying to back the dollar with cryptocurrency by requiring these cryptocurrency companies to back their stable coins with United States dollars. And it's not hidden that
this is President Trump's plan to keep trust and value and the reserve status in the United States dollar. They've even published this on the White House website. I'll read it to you. Ensuring United States dollar global reserve currency status by driving demand for US treasuries. Stable coins will play a crucial role in ensuring the continued global dominance of the United States dollar as the world's reserve currency. This is why studying history is so powerful because what we saw happen here in the 40s and the 50s is the government was kind of requiring certain banking institutions, certain other pension funds and financial institutions to lend
their money to the United States government by buying these treasuries at a loss. Today, we're starting to see it happen again, but with stable coin companies to have these stable coin companies now back the treasuries, meaning lend money to the United States by backing the stable coins with United States dollars. Right now, though, interest rates are higher than inflation. President Trump wants interest rates to fall drastically to be below the inflation level. Well, what does that mean? It's a way to keep trust and faith in the dollar because now these stable coin companies would be putting a lot of money into the United States dollar. But it's also a way to continue lending money to the United States. That way the government can lead
this financial repression. Again, this is one of the reasons why I'm hosting my live workshop on June 16th because this is going to change investment opportunities. So, if you haven't registered for that workshop yet, again, I have the link for you down in the description. But to put the value of this in perspective, right now Japan is the largest foreign owner of United States treasuries and they own something like $1.2 trillion dollars of United States treasuries. How much are these stable coins going to be? Well, take a look at what the Treasury Secretary Scott Bant posted on Twitter. Read this. Recent reporting projects that stable coins could grow to a $3.7 trillion market by the end of the decade, meaning
2030. That scenario becomes more likely with the passage of the Genius Act. So according to the Treasury Secretary of the United States, these stable coins back in the dollar could be about three times larger than the largest foreign lender to the United States. That's the value of this. Because why would anybody lend money to the United States at a loss if interest rates are lower than inflation? Well, if you're required to, you don't have a choice. This brings me to the third point which is kind of an outofthe- box thing which is revaluing the balance sheet here in the United States. Now just so we're talking about the same thing when I say balance sheet what a balance sheet is your assets
minus liabilities and right now the United States government has some assets and liabilities which the government believes are not valued correctly and the government has a plan to increase the amount of assets. I'm going to wipe this side of the whiteboard down that way I could diagram it for you. So, we know that one way that the government is trying to reset the value of the dollar is to make our national debt look less expensive. How do you do that? By inflating away the value of the debt. What does that mean? Well, it doesn't mean paying it off. It means growing the economy faster than the national debt.
How could you do that? Well, one way we talked about doing that is through this financial repression, which requires low interest rates, which is what President Trump wants. He now has a new Federal Reserve Bank chairman who is trying to potentially lower these interest rates, which is what President Trump wants, while people are willing to lend money to the United States government at a loss. Now, will that happen? Again, only time will tell, but this is what we know that President Trump is working for. At the same time, you need these lenders who are willing to lose money every time they lend money to the government. And this is where the Trump administration has passed the Genius Act to force
stable coin companies to back their stable coins onetoone with the United States treasuries. So this is all a way to inflate away the value of the national debt relative to our economy. But the other thing that the government is trying to do to strengthen the value of the dollar is to increase the value of the United States assets relative to our liabilities. Because if we own a lot of assets as a government, well, now your debt doesn't seem as big of a problem. Because if you have a million dollars of debt, well, it's only a problem if you don't have more than a million dollars in assets. Well, another thing here we want to talk about is our balance sheet, which takes a look at the
government's assets minus liabilities. The top three assets for the United States government are number one, certain loans, which is led by student loans. Student loans are the number one asset for the United States government, which is kind of a really weird thing to think about. Because yes, we talk about the importance of higher education. Well, your student loans are one of the things that keeps the government so rich. Number two is property owned by the government. And number three, the third largest asset is dollars and gold for the United States government. The three largest liabilities for the government are number one are national debt, which we've been talking about.
Number two is pensions for all government employees and veterans. And then number three is environmental liabilities, taking care of the environment in different ways. And this is where the government has kind of a two-pronged plan to increase assets relative to liabilities. The first thing, which is a rumor, which some people say is going to happen, others say is not going to happen, is to revalue some of these liabilities. The other is to increase these assets. Let me start by talking about revaluing the debt. There's been talk about revaluing the gold reserves that the United States government owns. According to the Federal Reserve Bank, we have about 261 million ounces of gold. And on our balance sheet, this gold is valued at
approximately $42 an ounce. Which means on our balance sheet, our gold is valued at roughly 11 billion or so. And this is where according to the government and the Federal Reserve Bank, one thing that we could consider doing is just change the valuation because currently gold is trading for over what $4,000 an ounce. Which means if we just change this from $42 to $3,000, $4,000. That means we can increase the assets on our balance sheet by approximately $1 trillion by doing nothing except just changing some numbers on our financial statements. Now, this revaluation of our gold reserves was talked about quite a bit in 2025. Right now, the Treasury Secretary says that it's not something we want to do yet. We'll see if it actually
happens. But now, the idea is to grow the amount of assets, not by necessarily revaluing the gold, but to add in how many assets we have on our balance sheet through something called the sovereign wealth fund. The idea behind the sovereign wealth fund is it's kind of like an investment fund for the United States government where now the government would be able to invest money on behalf of its citizens on behalf of the country and now these investments would be sitting on the balance sheet for the United States government. If the government makes some good investments, these investments go up in value and now our assets look bigger. If we make some bad investments, well then that wouldn't
look so good on our balance sheet, which is a great idea. The only problem is we don't have any money to invest in the first place because we have $39 trillion of debt. Our taxes coming in do not pay for our expenses as they are. So where would the government get the money to actually make these investments? Well, we'd have to go deeper into debt. This is where I want to talk about how all of this could create some investment opportunities. Again, I'm going to go deeper into this on June 16th, but let me wipe this off and show you what I mean. Again, I'm not a financial adviser. I'm not here to tell you what to invest in. Investing has risks. You are never guaranteed to make money when
you invest. In fact, you will lose money at some point. So, make sure you always your own due diligence. And never blindly trust a random guy on YouTube. I'm going to go over some specific examples for example purposes only. I'm not here to tell you what to invest in. I'm here to show you how you can start thinking like an investor. I'm going to start with opportunity number one, which is just the broad economy. If you believe that this will work and will help unleash the American economy, well, you can just invest in the American economy. VTI is a fund, an ETF that gives you exposure to the total stock market, the 2,000 some stocks in the
United States stock market. You're going to get exposure through that with VTI. If you wanted to get a little bit more niche, you can invest in the SNP500. This is a group of the 500 largest companies in the United States stock market. And you can invest in funds like VO. As a disclosure, I'm personally invested in VO, which will give me exposure to these S&P 500 companies. again the 500 largest companies in the stock market. If you believe that the American economy is going to grow, this is going to give you exposure to that. If you believe that the dollar is going to continue to hurt, that a national debt is going to become a bigger
problem, well then you can look for ways to protect your money against the dollar. Now, there's a lot of ways to do this. You can invest in foreign countries and foreign economies. I've made other videos talking about how you can do that even if you are in the United States. But I'm going to keep it very simple here talking about gold. When people are concerned about the dollar, they generally buy gold. When people are concerned about inflation, they generally buy gold. When people are concerned about the economy, they generally buy gold. Gold is a hedge against bad things happening. Period. That's what generally helps the value of gold. Now, you can go and buy physical gold or you can invest in paper gold,
meaning an ETF that gives you exposure to the gold. In general, I like the idea of buying the actual asset rather than an ETF that gives you exposure to the asset. But the ETF is a whole lot simpler. If you want the paper exposure to gold, the ETF is GLD. There's others out there as well. This is just one example to get exposure to gold. Just understand that gold does not always go up. It goes up when people are concerned about the dollar. If dollar concerns go away, well, then you will likely see gold prices fall. We saw this happen after 2008. During the 2008 crash, we were printing a lot of money, cutting interest rates, inflation concerns were everywhere. So 2008 to 2012, gold prices
boomed. In 2012, when the concerns about inflation went away, gold prices crashed and they stayed down all the way until 2020. In 2020, the pandemic hit, the money printer was turned on, and gold prices have been booming since. Now, the third category, I'm just going to call it risky for lack of a better word, but if you believe that America is going to be the leader in technology and the leader in where the economy is moving, well, then you can get exposure to that space. And if the economy grows as well, this could see even more potential upside, more risk for more potential return. And there's a couple opportunities here that I want to go over. Again, there's many more. This is just to help you start thinking like an
investor. If you wanted to invest in the NASDAQ 100, that's a group of the 100 largest companies in our stock market that are not financial. So, it's primarily tech companies, you can do that through something like QQQ, which will give you exposure to that NASDAQ 100. Now, because these are the 100 largest companies that are not financial, they're primarily tech. Many of them are AI heavy. What you see happen is with this QQQ when markets are going up and our economy is growing, this grows faster than the general stock market. When markets are going down because people are worried about a recession, they're worried about the economy. This generally falls faster than the general stock market. So, if
you believe the markets are going to be stronger in the long term, this can be an opportunity for you to grow your money faster. But just understand, it's more volatile. It's going to go down harder when we see market crashes, when we see recessions. Not if, but when. But if you understand that, it can give you bigger and better opportunities for the long run. If you want to be a little more specific and you believe that, well, in order to power all this AI and all this technology, we need something like semiconductors. There are ETFs that'll give you exposure to that semiconductor space. One example is SMH, which is going to give you exposure to that type of semiconductor technology.
So, what we talked about in this video is that the United States is facing a problem. The United States dollar is losing trust, is losing its value. And this is where President Trump is now working to reset the dollar and bring back that strength in the dollar. And also to help reset and cancel our $39 trillion of national debt. And the way he wants to do that is through a three-part plan. And having a new chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank can help because although the Federal Reserve Bank is called, the Federal Reserve Bank is not federal. So the government cannot tell them what to do. But because the previous chairperson's term is expired, President Trump was able to appoint a new chairman at the
Federal Reserve Bank. His name is Kevin Worsh. President Trump says that he will cut interest rates. What will actually happen? Only time will tell. But this is where we know that President Trump has a three-part plan. The first thing we talked about is the financial repression. The idea being we don't want to pay off the debt. We want to inflate it away. What does that mean? We want the economy to grow faster than the debt to make the debt problem smaller. In order for that to work, two things must happen. We must see lower interest rates relative to inflation and we must see lenders to the United States at these low interest rates. Well, we know that President Trump wants lower interest
rates. Will that happen? Only time will tell. But we know that's what President Trump wants. And now we have a new Fed chairman who could potentially make that happen. Number two, to get lenders into the United States. The concern is, well, our dollar is not backed by gold. We're seeing more countries saying we don't want to lend to the United States. So, how can we get more lenders to the United States at a loss? And this is where we're seeing number two, new laws to force entities to lend money to the United States, either at a loss or a gain. And these companies are these stable coin companies because the United States passed the Genius Act which requires these stable coin companies to lend money to the United States and back
their stable coins onetoone with United States treasuries. This is a way to continue getting the dollar backed by something. Now it's not backed by gold or oil. It's backed by cryptocurrency. So that's what we're seeing happen as a way to inflate away the value of the debt. But also the government has talked about number three revaluing the balance sheet. Our balance sheet is assets minus liabilities. And the government has talked about increasing the value of some of our assets like gold because our gold is currently valued at around $42 an ounce while gold is currently at its market value a whole lot higher. So there's been talks about rebaling this gold a whole lot higher as a way to add another
hundreds of billions or trillion dollars or so to our asset balance sheet. Will that happen? We don't know just yet. But the other part to that is by increasing your assets by building something like a sovereign wealth fund. This is something that President Trump has signed an executive order on. But we don't know what's exactly going to come of it. But the concern is we don't have the money to fund a sovereign wealth fund, which means in order to build the sovereign wealth fund, we must go into debt to do that, which makes it more risky. If we make great investments, good. It can work out well. If we make bad investments, well, now we just financed those bad investments with debt, which
can make those bad investments even more expensive. So, these are the changes that are happening. We talked about then different ways to potentially invest your money, whether it's investing in a broad American economy, protecting your money against a dollar, or more risky investments, different ways to help play this. Again, this is why a financial education is so important. If you got value out of this video, the best thank you was a referral. So, if you could please share this video with a friend, family member, colleague, or fellow investor. that way we can continue to spread this type of financial education.
Thank you. President Trump just launched his new plan to save the United States dollar from the $39 trillion debt crisis. No, it's not by having the dollar backed by gold. And no, it's not by having the dollar backed by oil either. It's by having the United States dollar backed by crypto. Let me explain. The value of a money depends on if people believe that it has value. If I walking.
