title: I disagree with this headline from CNN
description: "Gold is not rising because of Trump. It is rising because the US has $39 trillion in debt, $2 trillion in annual deficits, 25% of tax revenue goes to interest payments and Congress refuses to stop. They thus need to go through monetary debasement. This is not a bug. It is a feature of the system. And store of values are one of the way to protect purchasing power. \n\nBy the way, Europe and Japan have similar debt and spending problems. Gold is at record highs against every currency, not just the dollar.\n\nSource: Wall Street Mav"
