2025-05-25 Trump May Revalue Gold 70% to Erase $220 Trillion Debt

Author: Dennis Tubbergen May 24, 2025 Duration: 42:22
This week on RLA radio your host Dennis Tubbergen talks with Gerald Celente, the veteran trends forecaster and publisher of Trends Journal, warns of an impending "dot-com bust" driven by overinvestment in AI companies, particularly as China's Deepseek has demonstrated superior AI capabilities at a fraction of the cost, potentially wiping out billions in overvalued tech investments. He predicts President Trump will manipulate interest rates to prop up the economy short-term, but sees inevitable market crashes ahead, recommending gold and Bitcoin as safe havens while warning that mounting U.S. debt (which he claims is actually $220 trillion, not $37 trillion) may force a gold revaluation similar to FDR's 1933 action. Celente also forecasts an office building bust due to persistent work-from-home trends and warns that escalating geopolitical tensions, particularly potential conflict with Iran, could double oil prices and crash equity markets, embodying his famous maxim: "When all else fails, they take you to war." Gerald Celente is the Founder/Director of the Trends Research Institute and Publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine. He is the author of the highly acclaimed and best-selling books “Trend Tracking” and “Trends 2000”. With a 40-year track record of identifying, tracking, and forecasting trends, Celente is world-renowned as today’s #1 Trend Forecaster. Celente, developed the Globalnomic methodology to identify, track, forecast, and manage trends, is a political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology, or conventional wisdom, Celente, whose motto is “Think for Yourself,” observes and analyzes current events forming future trends for what they are – not for how he wants them to be.
