Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: For some fifty years, the U.S. dollar has been the world’s reserve currency. Of late, the end of that status has been increasingly seen as inevitable, if not actually imminent.
My brilliant friend, Rod Martin, has just published a characteristically contrarian and optimistic assessment of that prospect under President Trump. Put simply, he says, it ain’t gonna happen.
In an article posted at RodMartin.org, this increasingly influential pundit observes: “Trump doesn’t just mean to put America ‘first’: he intends to make America dominant. Or in a phrase, ‘great again.’”
According to Rod, that’s possible because the President has restored international perceptions of our military strength – in particular, the power of the U.S. Navy – and Donald Trump’s indisputable willingness to exercise it. The knock-on effect is that, “The dollar remains more than a currency. It is a strategic weapon.”
Praise God!
