I think that “the economy” is both too complicated and too meaningless of a concept for anyone to actually understand, so people just absorb vibes from the media. The idea that a good economy is one where you, personally, are prosperous is pretty foreign. So very little will change for most trump supporters but by next summer they will be totally convinced that the economy is better that it has ever been.
Uh unless they actually dissolve the federal reserve and go back to the gold standard like it apparently says in project 2025. In that case it will literally cause the collapse of the US empire.
the absolute funniest way for dedollarization to occur is that while BRICS+ is hemming and hawing about how they’re gonna set up an alternative currency and an international financial organization exerting some degree of sovereignty over each of them (meanwhile the developing world is facing the worst debt crisis in human history), Trump just gets rid of the dollar over the course of a month. I’m out here predicting that we might see foreign currencies or a bancor overtake the dollar by the 2050s, meanwhile the Heritage Foundation guys want it gone within the year
I have talked to a surprising number of conservatives and libertarians who, after I explain what would happen the US if we stopped running budget deficits, are just like “hell yeah bring the collapse on, we’ll be better off for it in the long run”. This sounds acceleration and maybe it is but I think it’s more they don’t understand / believe that things would be that bad for that long.

Old-fashioned, like they did before everything went woke
Easy to understand. If gold is money then I have one money if I have one gold. On the surface a gold standard seems much more straightforward than the web of debt backed by vibes that is fiat currency.
Gives a feeling of independence and self-sufficiency. If I have good it can’t be touched by inflation or the evil gubmint (it absolutely can, but it feels like it can’t).
Fertile soil for grifts. There are people who make good money selling gold to chud goldbugs.
The thing the liberal (((elites))) running the financial system doesn’t want.
I mean it would be irrational to think they are not, Libs (and there subset of conservitives) do think and have motivations, even if they are not entirely rational to an outside observer, it needs to both make sense to them, and especialy the case for libs, to the Capitalist overclass. I can understand why the workers would feel the gold standard would help, it just has the gut reaction that making the dollar actually worth something real and tangable would help, what I cannot understand is where the capitalists think they will see any gain in this

They never even took Economics 101.

Death to America
We’re changing to Trump coin
Hope you losers bought in at the bottom!
my sources at the Q Consortium insists it will be pegged to the Iraqi dinar.
sometimes I wonder what conservitives are thinking… like I do not understand this whole gold standard obsession
Maybe something about gold being
I’ve had to navigate older family members through so many gold scams lately
Bold of you to assume conservatives are thinking

A lot of them are gold bugs and think going back to the gold standard will make them rich.
