It's better to be a smartass and a badass than a dumbass.
January Playbook:
Expect Trump to pivot immediately to an "Energy Emergency" to award contracts to U.S. oil majors and bury issues (and Epstein news) under a stock market rally. Invading #Venezuela was the easy part. Owning it may cost us our own economic stability. #Economy #DebtCrisis #Geopolitics

Societal Fracture: Watch for the "Enemy Within" rhetoric to shift from campaign slogans to governing policy. Using the military victory to brand opposition as "sympathizers" pushes us into the "Fragility Era" of high polarization. @governor.ca.gov understands the power of social media and tech wars.

Sticky Inflation (Guns & Butter): Military spending is inflationary. We risk a 1970s-style "stagflation" loop—higher prices + stagnant wages—just as the Fed hoped to cut rates. @sanders.senate.gov understands the geo-political and geo-economic consequences of Venezuela and how domestically it hurts.

"Crowding Out" Effect: Government borrowing sucks up available capital. Small business lending freezes; credit card rates hit 25%+. The private sector pays for the public sector's war.

2026 MISERY INDEX
The U.S. attempts to "run" Venezuela as promised as markets accelerate the following domestic breakdown.
Bond Market: Financing a new occupation while borrowing $1T every 6 months is Trump math. Expect 10-Year Treasury yields to spike, dragging 30-year mortgage rates back above 8%.
