My running theory is that Trump's business deals on a nation by nation basis caused the dollar to get relatively strong in comparison to other fiat dollars worldwide, and this "winning" in comparison to prior administrations caused the U.S. to lose in a different department.

So, in the backward fiat world, sometimes there may need to be some losing, so you don't win yourself into a brick wall, that's just my theory anyhow.

Imagine if they put an Apple store in a very poor neighborhood and tried to sell iPhones for $500-$1000. If Apple wanted to be successful in selling these phones in the said area, they'd have to get competitive with their pricing and perhaps bring down their profit margins near to Androids.

I think we might be looking at worldwide simultaneous hyperinflation. I wonder if everyone hyperinflates all at the same time if the greatest depression ever, will be less bad than it would have been otherwise, and I suppose that'd depend on what country one is living in.

I'm reminded of this, the guy wasn't wrong concerning the nature of the global economy, the ebb, and the flow part, anyhow.
