It looks like one area in which Trump has learned from past experience (Trump 1.0) is in dealing with leftist street theater and violence. Normals or aspiring normals don’t want chaos in their lives. They want the trains to run on time. Leftist insurrection tends to be self defeating in the long run.

 BREAKING: By a whopping margin of +20 points, Americans APPROVE of President Trump sending the National Guard to the LA riots, 59%-39% - InsiderAdvantage poll
This includes 56% of INDEPENDENTS, and 37% of DEMOCRATS.

Some foreigners are misunderstanding just how popular the current policies are in America. Like Russia in the early-2000s, the country has seen nearly ten years of chaos. If you come in and offer to put things back in order, people support that.
Meanwhile, across the pond, London wants to become LA. But what will they do about the climate?
As the West descends into societal and political turmoil, financial and monetary turmoil follows. The direction is clear enough. Take note—USD is under 50% of official reserves.
Pictures:
Gold has touched all time highs. BRICS is stacking gold bricks. And USD is now below 50%. https://ecb.europa.eu/press/other-publications/ire/html/ecb.ire202506.en.html…
Interesting observation that argues that everything is connected:

Gold prices typically track the inverted real interest rate, and this trend split apart in 2022, likely due to Europe's idiotic seizure of Russia's FX reserves in the Euroclear.
It cannot be overstated what a monumental mistake this was, undermining the global financial order.
Finally, in this environment of investment turmoil and uncertainty, who will laugh last? Trump or Harvard?
Private equity just isn’t paying out any more. This is why they are turning to extract ever-more rent from the industries they touch - killing many and leaving everyone with higher prices. The industry is like a heroin addict that switches to fentanyl for a bigger high.
Wait… why would @Harvard do something so silly as load up on dubious private equity investments? Is it maybe because many Harvard alum set up private equity funds - that then invest Harvard endowment money. Now THAT is a self-licking ice cream cone - one that is now melting.
You know the polling is bad when the Red LA Mayor Bass, finally implements a curfew in the LA downtown, and allows the lapd to do arrests.

The LA Trump / insurrection narrative was planned by the Trump Administration. He baited the leftists in a huge media market that could not be ignored.
Guesses:
- Trump learned from DC Park Debacle at Lafayette Park, St. John’s church, that was successfully pushed as a photo op. and as peaceful protests.
- Trump learned from the Portland Federal Courthouse Antifa battles. Nightly attacks were allowed, and the rioters even got a settlement from the city.
- The Federalizing of the national guard was planned. It’s something that has not been done in 60 years.
- The Trump Administration has wargamed out this entire immigration narrative baiting and laying traps for the Democrats and msm. From Maryland Man who has become Tn man, to the LA Riots. There is a plan driving the Trump immigration actions, and it’s being beautifully executed and the current polling shows that.
