Justin's note: As you know, we don't shy away from controversy or "politically incorrect" opinions here at Casey Research.

We've been telling you what you need to hear – the stuff not covered in the mainstream media – so you can prepare for (and profit from) what's in store for America.

It's all in preparation for this Wednesday's landmark event, Totally Incorrect: LIVE, where our founder Doug Casey will sit down with Crisis Investing chief analyst Nick Giambruno to reveal his five biggest predictions for 2019 and beyond.

Today, we're continuing this theme and passing the baton to Nick, who says Donald Trump is currently being set up to fail:

The Deep State is going to make sure Trump goes down as the worst president in U.S. history… by pinning the impending stock market collapse on him.

Read on to see why…

By Nick Giambruno, chief analyst, Crisis Investing

The Establishment is setting up Donald Trump…

The mainstream media hates him. Hollywood hates him. The "Intellectual Yet Idiot" academics hate him.

Most critically, the CIA hates him. So does the rest of the Deep State, or the permanently entrenched "national security" bureaucracy.

I think there's a very simple reason for this: He's threatening to take away its livelihood.

Trump wants to make nice with Putin and the Russians. But countering the so-called "Russian threat" is how many thousands of Deep State bureaucrats make a living.

These people feed off a $1 trillion-plus military/security budget. Playing nice with the Russians would kill their jobs.

Trump has said:

We will pursue a new foreign policy that finally learns from the mistakes of the past. We will stop looking to topple regimes and overthrow governments.
