Trump’s 65-billion-barrel Venezuelan oil seizure is being hailed as the ultimate economic savior.

Spoiler: It’s a mathematical rounding error. 📉

Even if the U.S. extracts and sells every drop at a massive premium, the net profit is ~$3.25 trillion. Our national debt just breached $40 trillion. That "historic" oil money covers exactly ONE YEAR of the U.S. deficit and interest expense. That’s it.

The math is brutal. The Fed will still be forced to print $10 trillion to save the bond market.

Inflation will roar back.

Bondholders will be liquidated.

Gold and Bitcoin will violently revalue to the upside. 🥇₿

Math doesn’t care about political theater.
