Thoughts on Trump's cabinet meeting. 

He refuses to answer any substantive questions from journalists and only acknowledges praise. His cabinet is full of subservient lackeys who will yes-man him or be eliminated.

Trump's administration appears to be purposefully torpedoing the economy. They likely plan to force a mini-recession with mass job losses and rising prices, creating an environment where middle-class people have no hope and must start offloading assets (if they have any).

They're expelling and deterring all migrant workers, firing thousands of federal workers, and imposing egregious tariffs on companies outside the US. Major companies like Apple are already capitulating, which will increase the price of EVERYTHING.

There's a focus on quelling inflation, which means they'll eventually restart quantitative easing. Powell may present a challenge, but I'm sure they'll make things so bad that there's no choice.
The only solace from this inevitability is hoarding Bitcoin, property, and cash.
