Trump floats tariffs on NATO members opposed to the Greenland sale [ [link removed] ]
President Trump threatened escalating tariffs [ [link removed] ] on eight NATO countries including Denmark and Germany unless they agree to sell Greenland to the U.S., citing mysterious troop deployments as a grave national security risk.
Tariff Timeline Escalation: Tariffs begin at 10% on February 1, 2026, rising to 25% on June 1, stacking atop existing duties and remaining until a full Greenland purchase deal.
Security Justification Claimed: Trump accused the nations of sending troops to Greenland “for purposes unknown,” calling it a dangerous threat to global safety and planetary survival amid U.S. acquisition efforts.
European Leaders Unite: Officials from Denmark, Sweden, France, and others condemned the ultimatum as blackmail, vowing no surrender while highlighting risks to NATO cohesion and transatlantic alliances.
Trade Deal Jeopardy: The move halts progress on a recent EU-U.S. zero-tariff agreement, prompting emergency EU meetings and warnings that divisions could benefit adversaries like China and Russia.

Do Democrats have [ [link removed] ]NO SHAME? [ [link removed] ]
Do Democrats have NO SHAME? First they called RFK Jr a “conspiracy theorist”…Then they filed FAKE articles of impeachment…Now liberal journalists have launched a phony RFK Jr affair scandal.
Even Tucker Carlson has called it a deep state HIT JOB to “destroy Trump by destroying Bobby.” It’s all part of a left-wing conspiracy to STOP Kennedy from revealing Big Pharma’s biggest secret [ [link removed] ]…Hundreds-of-billions in ill-gotten profits and political donations are at stake…
So Dems will stop at nothing to keep you from hearing
P.S. Even for Democrats this is a new low. But they’ll sink even deeper if it means you never get to see
Gold and Silver smash records AGAIN [ [link removed] ]
Gold and silver soared to fresh all-time highs Monday [ [link removed] ] as President Trump’s aggressive push to acquire Greenland triggered fears of a US-Europe trade war, driving investors to safe-haven metals amid a weakening dollar and escalating geopolitical risks.
Price Milestones Hit: Spot gold climbed as much as 2.1% nearing $4700 per ounce and silver surged up to 4.4% reaching records around $94 amid massive ETF inflows and central bank buying momentum.
Tariff Threats Escalate: US set to impose 10% tariffs on eight European nations including France Germany UK starting February 1 2026 rising to 25% in June over Greenland opposition sparking retaliation threats.
Safe-Haven Surge Drivers: Trump’s Greenland demands weakened the dollar while attacks on Fed independence and potential trade war inflation boosted demand for precious metals as alternatives to US assets.
Analyst Warnings Issued: Experts liken US tactics to extortion noting fractured alliances could embed higher risk premiums and accelerate shifts away from dollar assets fueling ongoing precious metals rally.
Bessent predicts that SCOTUS will uphold Trump’s tariffs [ [link removed] ]
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted the Supreme Court is very unlikely to block [ [link removed] ] the move in a ruling possibly this week as President Trump threatened escalating tariffs on eight European nations including Denmark and Germany unless they agree to sell Greenland to the US, invoking emergency powers.
Supreme Court Outlook: Bessent asserted the Court will likely uphold Trump’s tariffs as his signature economic policy, comparing it to deference shown in the Obamacare case to avoid chaos.
Tariff Timeline Details: New 10% duties on imports from targeted European countries begin February 1, rising to 25% on June 1 if no Greenland deal emerges.
National Emergency Claim: Bessent defended the tariffs as a strategic tool to avert a future crisis, stating the emergency is “avoiding a national emergency” amid Arctic competition with Russia and China.
Geopolitical Leverage Push: The policy uses US economic power to secure Greenland for national security, with recent high-level talks establishing a working group but drawing European condemnation over sovereignty threats.

Strong Early Performance: Co-founder Ben Horowitz called it one of the best funds he’s seen, with portfolio successes like Cursor’s jump to $29.3 billion valuation from $400 million in 2024.
Bubble Risks Loom Large: Despite rapid valuations and acquisitions, questions persist on whether businesses will pay enough for AI software soon, potentially endangering trillions in tech investments if adoption lags.
Trump vows lawsuit over JP Morgan debanking outrage [ [link removed] ]
President Donald Trump threatened to sue JPMorgan Chase within the next two weeks, [ [link removed] ] accusing the bank of improperly “debanking” him after the January 6, 2021, Capitol protest, while denying a report that he offered CEO Jamie Dimon the Federal Reserve chair position.

Fed chair offer denie: Trump rejected a Wall Street Journal claim he proposed Jamie Dimon for Fed chair, insisting no such offer occurred and labeling it false.
Bank pushes back: JPMorgan spokesperson Trish Wexler stated the bank does not close accounts for political beliefs and supports administration efforts to combat political debanking.

Stellantis stock crashes 43% on fifth anniversary [ [link removed] ]
Stellantis marks five years since its $52 billion Fiat Chrysler-PSA merger with U.S. shares down roughly 43% [ [link removed] ], as new CEO Antonio Filosa pushes a turnaround focused on reviving Jeep and Ram brands amid past cost-cutting missteps and sales declines.
Stock performance lags: U.S. shares have fallen 43% since NYSE debut on Jan. 19, 2021, with Italian shares off 40%, despite a peak gain of 74% in early 2024 before sharp declines.
