It doesn’t make sense, is the prospect of being deported really that big of a deterrent to poor illegals not committing crimes or are they just purposely misreported to discredit the rights’ claims on illegals committing crimes?

Point 1: Trump's base, boomer conservatives, have been marketed gold & silver aggressively for decades now. They have built up more reserves than any other groups, except libertarians who don't really count numerically.

Point 2: Trump says he will usher in a "golden age"

Point 3: Trump creates chaos (chaos magic?)

Point 4: That chaos increases the price of gold

Point 5: That effect is accelerated given the stagflation environment we are in. Gold, silver, and platinum are going to keep rising if history is any guide (see the 1970s).

Point 6: Tech bubble, real estate and Bitcoin bubble poised to pop. Under those conditions, old school safe havens (gold) historically do well.

Point 7: Trump's base increases their wealth significantly. Buying them off essentially

Point 8: The Holy Bible states "They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the LORD; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity." Ezekiel 7:19

Yes the wealth will be nice, but also a stumbling block to watch out for. A false idol and comfort. Remember it is fleeting while the Lord's blessing shall endure to those who seek his face.

That's my hot take for the day. Stay vigilant.
