Doug Casey: I'm not a fan of Trump, per se. He has no philosophical center, no core beliefs. He's an opportunist who flies by the seat of his pants.

His economic policies are disjointed and inconsistent. Many are idiotic. It's true he wants to deregulate the economy, and he deserves kudos for that.

But he's encouraging reckless monetary policies—zero-percent interest rates, gigantic increases in debt, massive public-works projects, and the creation of trillions of new dollars. He's just building the house of cards higher while enriching the Deep State and corrupting the 30 million Americans making more not working than they made working.
