Trumpenomics: The Decline of the US

The Accidental Fascist Hunter:
How a Climate Investigation Uncovered Ecofascist Networks

I did not set out to become what some now call a “fascist hunter.” The investigation began narrowly, focused on institutional influence and regulatory manipulation. It evolved into something far larger — the exposure of an ideological framework that treats environmental collapse not as a crisis to prevent, but as a mechanism of selective survival.

Donald J. Trump has repeatedly voiced skepticism toward climate science and taken concrete actions to undermine climate research and policy. He has publicly called climate change a “hoax,” the “greatest scam of all time,” and “bullshit,” reflecting a long-standing pattern of dismissing mainstream scientific consensus.

Beyond rhetoric, Trump took significant steps to dismantle climate science and regulatory frameworks at the federal level, particularly through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Among the most consequential actions was the repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which legally designated greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and enabled regulation of emissions. These actions have had lasting effects on U.S. climate policy, weakening federal oversight, slowing renewable energy development, and reducing the country’s ability to respond to the accelerating climate crisis.

Trump’s tenure illustrates the intersection of political ideology, personal branding, and science denial, with consequences that extend far beyond domestic policy into global environmental governance.

Trump has been widely criticized for white nationalist rhetoric and is also well-documented for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a known ecofascist. Ecofascists understand the physics of climate change, with the short-term upper limit of warming estimated around +9°C. Their goal, alarmingly, is to push humanity toward that upper bound as a means of drastically reducing the global population—particularly targeting vulnerable regions in the Global South.

Analyzing the Decline of the U.S. Under Trump

Jump to Trumpenomics and White Nationalism

Introduction
As president, almost everything Trump is doing is not only illegal but also against the best interests of the country. However, for me, this goes beyond his presidency.

As a college student, I developed the first “business ethics” curriculum. Over a decade later, I was running a business ethics experiment with a “widows and orphans” fund. Of all the companies involved, only DJT Casino Holdings stole from the fund. That experience taught me never to trust a lying, cheating, and stealing con artist.

Now that he’s president, he’s doing the same thing to you.

For a detailed examination of the ongoing collapse of the U.S. economy, you’ll find multiple articles and research papers linked below. If you prefer to go straight to the core arguments and proposed solutions, skip ahead to the piece titled “Basic Economics: Taxes Hurt Everyone—And So Do Nationalism, Protectionism, Populism, and Anti-Immigration Policies.”

A Record of Violations: Crimes, Corruption, and Ethical Failures:

  • Pedophilia and Child Sex Trafficking: Implicated in the sexual abuse and trafficking of minors in connection with Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Normalized hate, racism, and anti-LGBTQ bigotry: Promoted white supremacy, amplified racist conspiracy theories, and used dehumanizing rhetoric against immigrants and minorities. Denied the existence of transgender people through executive orders, promoted hatred of trans individuals, and worked to erode LGBTQ+ rights, including laying the groundwork to undermine marriage equality.

  • Used executive power to attack democratic rights: Conducted raids and operations using anonymous, masked federal agents with no visible badges or identification—tactics more common in authoritarian regimes. Suspended habeas corpus rights for detainees, especially in immigration cases and deportation proceedings.

  • Undermined public trust through pathological dishonesty: Lied to the public over 30,000 times, according to fact-checkers, eroding institutional trust and making truth itself a partisan issue.

  • Encouraged violence and militarism: Shared a video of B-2 bombers dropping bombs set to the music of “Bomb Iran.” Set up U.S. Marines for possible violations of Posse Comitatus—a federal law prohibiting military involvement in domestic law enforcement—by stationing them in roles suggestive of domestic control, violating both legal and ethical norms.

  • Engaged in preemptive military aggression: Ordered preemptive strikes against sovereign nations, including Iran, in direct violation of international law. Repeatedly escalated conflicts without Congressional approval, including through drone assassinations of foreign officials.

  • Repeatedly undermined science and public health: Denied the reality of climate change, downplayed the severity of COVID-19, spread misinformation, and sidelined scientific experts. These actions led to catastrophic outcomes, including the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans and a weakening of U.S. preparedness for future crises.

  • Complicit in war crimes and humanitarian violations: In Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran, Trump’s policies and support for authoritarian leaders enabled war crimes and crimes against humanity. In Gaza, his administration dismantled UN humanitarian support systems and replaced them with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—an entity credibly accused of weaponizing hunger and water shortages. Reports document GHF and allied forces shooting civilians attempting to access aid, and these actions are currently under international investigation for genocidal intent.

  • Led a corrupt business empire and exploited public office: The Trump Organization was convicted on 17 counts of criminal tax fraud. Trump also used his political following to promote scams like “Trump Bucks,” meme coins, and other questionable business ventures, raising serious concerns about fraud, financial exploitation, and ethics violations.

  • Attempted to overturn democracy: Orchestrated a wide-ranging campaign to overturn the 2020 election, pressured state officials and the Vice President to ignore legal results, and incited the January 6 insurrection. Later praised the attackers and pardoned many of them after regaining office, openly defying the rule of law.

  • Convicted and liable for serious crimes: Found liable for sexual abuse and defamation by a federal jury in the E. Jean Carroll case. Convicted on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments and campaign finance violations—making him the first former president with a felony conviction.

  • Politicized and weaponized federal institutions: Undermined the Department of Justice, attacked judges and investigators, and used federal agencies to target political rivals and shield allies. These authoritarian tactics represent a fundamental threat to the U.S. justice system.

  • Supported or enabled child trafficking networks: Maintained documented associations with Jeffrey Epstein and others implicated in child exploitation, and faced repeated allegations and investigative scrutiny regarding connections to individuals tied to trafficking operations.

  • Shattered international trust in the United States: Withdrew from major global agreements—the Paris Climate Accord, Iran Nuclear Deal, and Trans-Pacific Partnership—abandoning U.S. allies and signaling that the U.S. is no longer a stable or trustworthy partner. Undermined NATO and long-standing alliances through erratic behavior and open hostility toward global institutions.

  • Provoked loss of confidence in U.S. financial leadership: Trump’s attacks on the Federal Reserve and threats to take control of it have led countries like Germany and Italy, which store a third of their gold reserves at the New York Fed, to consider repatriating their gold—a shocking sign of international distrust in the stability of U.S. institutions.

Trump’s Bankruptcies and the Road to Russia

Regarding the so-called “peace negotiations” with Russia, this seems like an appropriate moment for a brief refresher on finance and economic incentives.

Trump’s long history of bankruptcies matters here. After repeatedly stiffing lenders and investors, he effectively ran out of credible financing options in the U.S. and much of Europe. Major banks wanted nothing to do with him. When conventional financing dried up, the remaining capital willing to touch Trump increasingly traced back to opaque, offshore, and Russian-linked sources—often routed through shell companies, private lenders, or intermediaries rather than traditional banks. The Trump SoHo project in NYC was linked to Russian money and figures, facing allegations of being a conduit for money laundering from Eastern Europe, involving shady investors and partners like career criminal Felix Sater, with claims that Russian cash infusions funded units, raising serious questions about Donald Trump’s business dealings and financial scrutiny during the Russia investigation.

In short, this isn’t ideology or conspiracy—it’s basic finance and incentives. When you bankrupt your way out of legitimate capital markets, you don’t gain independence; you become dependent on whoever is still willing to write the checks. That dynamic is precisely why critics began referring to Trump, bluntly and colloquially, as “Putin’s little bitch”—not as rhetoric, but as a crude shorthand for perceived financial leverage and resulting deference.

THE CURRENT CRISIS:

Trump, Chris Wright, the CO2 Coalition, Epstein Elite, and Crimes Against Humanity

When policy actions knowingly contradict established scientific risk assessments — especially when such actions foreseeably harm vulnerable populations and future generations — the issue moves beyond scientific consensus. It becomes a matter of legal and ethical responsibility under both domestic and international law. Individuals implicated in such decisions include Roy Spencer, John Christy, Chris Wright, and Donald J. Trump.


The Race Against Time: Climate Crisis vs. the United States
Humanity stands at a historic crossroads where the accelerating pace of climate change threatens to overtake both our capacity for response and the viability of the global economic system itself. Recent models indicate that without immediate intervention, climate change could cause the collapse of capitalism as we know it–potentially as soon as 2050. At the same time, U.S. political developments–particularly Trump-era trade, fiscal, and environmental policies–may unintentionally hasten this collapse. The central question becomes: Will the U.S. economic system implode before climate change forces its hand, or has irreversible damage already been done?

The Tipping Point: Will Climate Collapse or Economic Collapse Win the Race?

The economic trajectory of the U.S. under Trump’s policies suggests that a post-capitalist transition may be triggered by domestic fiscal instability rather than climate catastrophe alone. In other words, the United States may be the first nation to economically implode under the dual weight of environmental and self-inflicted economic collapse.

Complicating matters, the U.S. is simultaneously dealing with aging infrastructure, mounting national debt, deteriorating public health, climate-related disasters, and rising political extremism–all of which erode resilience and reduce the chances of a coordinated national response.

This raises a chilling question: Will the collapse of the U.S. economy accelerate faster than climate change itself–or are we already too late to avoid either fate?

Conclusion: What Comes After?

Regardless of which crisis arrives first, one outcome is increasingly likely: the U.S. standard of living will fall sharply, and life expectancy may follow. Whether that post-collapse society can still be sustainable–or even enjoyable–will depend on the decisions we make in the next few years.

The only hope is to treat this as a true “race against time” and respond with urgency, humility, and collective will. The future depends not just on science and economics, but on whether we can choose survival over ideology, cooperation over conflict, and truth over convenience.

Our climate model integrates not only geophysical systems but also social, political, and economic feedback loops. The results are grim: we now forecast a potential 9°C rise in global temperatures within this century–a rate that would make much of the planet uninhabitable and render large-scale human migration and system failure unavoidable.

Climate Collapse Will Break Capitalism
The Destructive Legacy of Trump’s Climate and Economic Policies

COVID-19

Do not let the current anti-science administration mislead you about President Donald Trump’s catastrophic handling of the COVID-19 pandemic—both during the initial outbreak and in the years that followed. His continued denial of scientific evidence, public health expertise, and global medical consensus has contributed to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. Worse still, millions who survived the initial infection are now grappling with serious, long-term health complications—many of which could have been reduced or prevented with responsible leadership.

THE FULL STORY

Drill, Baby, Drill (How Hate and Ignorance Distort Economic Perspectives)

July 2024 – Pre-Election Warning: Concerns were raised about candidate Trump’s proposed economic policies, highlighting potential unintended consequences such as heightened inflation and increased national debt—both of which could undermine economic stability. Additionally, experts cautioned that his administration’s environmental stance, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and rolling back over 100 environmental regulations, could have devastating effects on both the economy and the environment. Now, much of this forecast is unfolding before our very eyes.

Economic Outlook 2025 – 2035

November 2024 – Post-Election Analysis: Concerns are mounting over the potential consequences of President Elect Trump’s proposed economic policies, particularly their impact on inflation, national debt, and climate change. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates these policies could add $7.75–$10 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. Additionally, projections suggest inflation could rise to at least 6% by 2026, with consumer prices potentially increasing by 20% by 2028. These forecasts have since been revised, reflecting higher inflation and slower economic growth, compounded by the significant fallout of an ill-conceived trade war.

What’s Happening Now: Trump 2.0

From Superpower to Strongman State: How Trump Turned the U.S. into a Failing Authoritarian Oligarchy

Trump’s populist nationalism, rooted in fear and prejudice rather than strategy or principle, has inflicted long-term harm on the economy, the rule of law, democratic norms, and global cooperation. While the U.S. once led the world in innovation, diplomacy, and moral leadership, it is now seen by many as a third-world oligarchy masquerading as a democracy—plagued by corruption, polarization, and creeping authoritarianism.

Trump’s policies have been consistently rooted in racism, xenophobia, and religious bigotry—from the Muslim travel bans to cruel immigration crackdowns and family separations. These policies have not only inflicted suffering on vulnerable communities but also served as tools to divide Americans and energize a radical nationalist base. His embrace of white nationalist rhetoric and open alignment with Christian fundamentalism has turned governance into a culture war, degrading the country’s moral standing at home and abroad.

The Great Race Against Time: Trump vs. Mother Nature

Donald Trump has consistently dismissed the science of climate change, calling it a hoax and dismissing policies aimed at addressing it as “The Green New Scam.” His repeated use of the phrase “Drill, Baby, Drill” symbolizes an energy policy that prioritizes fossil fuel extraction over sustainable alternatives. These policies have only intensified the climate crisis, posing severe risks not only to the environment but to the global economy as well. If left unchecked, Donald Trump’s economic and environmental policies will render the planet uninhabitable for future generations.

The evidence is irrefutable: climate change is accelerating at an alarming pace, and the associated costs—both economic and human—are rising exponentially. Immediate, decisive action is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent further environmental collapse. Our updated climate model, now grounded in chaos theory and incorporating complex social-ecological factors within a dynamic, non-linear framework, predicts that global temperatures could increase by up to 9°C this century—far surpassing the previous estimate of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years. Such extreme warming will render large portions of the planet uninhabitable within this century, threatening the stability of ecosystems and human societies alike.

War Crimes

Trump’s Complicity in Global War Crimes: Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran
Despite branding himself as a “man of peace,” President Donald Trump’s actions during the first five months of his second term have contributed to a disturbing escalation of global conflict. From enabling brutal regimes to undermining international law, Trump’s role in supporting war crimes across multiple regions—Ukraine, Gaza, and Iran—marks one of the most troubling legacies of any U.S. president in modern history.

Israel and Palestine

Evangelical Christianity and Israel

America’s Secret War in Gaza: U.S. Boots on the Ground in Genocide, Funded by You
If you’re curious about the driving force behind US support for Israel, it’s ironically rooted in Evangelical Christianity. Many Evangelical Christians believe they can hasten the “second coming of Christ” by bringing about the apocalypse. According to their interpretation of the Bible, this involves Israel reclaiming Jerusalem, Jesus returning, and ultimately eliminating all Jews. For numerous “Christian Zionists,” especially influential evangelists aligned with the Republican Party, support for Israel is less about political strategy and more about its supposed role in biblical prophecy. In this worldview, war is not something to be avoided but embraced as a divine necessity—an inevitable and even celebratory step toward Jesus’ rule from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The fate of Jews and Palestinians is, to put it mildly, seen as collateral damage.

Trump’s War on Freedom: Deportations, Censorship, and the Assault on the Constitution

Trump’s war on freedom did not begin with his return to office — but it has accelerated dramatically. What we are witnessing now is not isolated misconduct, but a systematic assault on the Constitution, the free press, and the rule of law.

“We’re Just Gonna Kill People”: A Moral Fail-Down at the Highest Office 

“I don’t think we’re gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people. Okay? We’re gonna kill them. They’re gonna be, like, dead.” The rule of law must apply to everyone — including presidents. U.S. law provides mechanisms for accountability through impeachment and, when warranted, criminal prosecution for crimes such as murder or the unlawful use of lethal force. Beyond domestic jurisdiction, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has both the authority and moral obligation to investigate and prosecute acts that may constitute war crimes or crimes against humanity committed under U.S. command or direction. No office, political title, or nation should ever stand above the law.

Constitutional Crisis Brews as President Trump Deploys National Guard Over ICE Protests in California
The protests erupted after reports surfaced of military-style ICE raids targeting immigrant communities, sparking public outrage and civil unrest. The Trump administration, however, maintains that the actions are necessary to maintain public order and enforce immigration laws, with the President tweeting, “We will not allow lawlessness and anarchy to take over our cities. ICE is doing a great job protecting our borders.” Meanwhile, the Secretary of Defense has confirmed that the Marines are on standby. Yes, this is deeply troubling. Many political observers have long warned about the potential for such outcomes. The use of the military to suppress protests represents an extreme and dangerous escalation. Additionally, actions such as sanctioning Harvard, deporting activists, and filing lawsuits against ABC and CBS News — along with punitive measures against the Associated Press — raise serious concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and press freedom. These tactics bear disturbing similarities to authoritarian regimes of the past.

Democracy in Decline: Unconstitutional ICE Raids, Military Force, and Attacks on the Press Under Trump
These developments mark a dangerous turning point. The combined use of federal force against civilians, targeted suppression of the press, and disregard for state sovereignty signals an erosion of foundational democratic principles. As legal and constitutional experts warn, the United States may be entering a period of authoritarian overreach, where power is exercised without accountability and civil liberties are cast aside in the name of “order.”

World Economics

Supreme Court Reins in Presidential Tariff Power

The financial, political, and legal repercussions of this ruling are only beginning to unfold. Before Trump, the global economy was largely oriented toward free trade. Today, the only certainty about Trump’s trade policies is uncertainty. Numerous foreign countries have already indicated they will step back from trade with the U.S. and observe the chaos and instability ahead.

Trump’s Trade War Shows Economic Ignorance—and We Will Pay the Price

It’s honestly hard to watch this and understand how any of his followers are falling for what has to be the worst attempt at “Don the Con” yet. I can’t find a single credible economist who agrees with Trump on this. Eliminating immigration and launching a trade war at the same time isn’t strategy — it’s economic suicide. It’s like going nuclear on your own economy. I’d say someone needs to take the “codes” out of his hands — but it’s too late. He’s already launched them.
