President Donald J. Trump’s economic policies are designed to help America’s economy by putting more money into the hands of both consumers and businesses. But this doesn’t necessarily translate into a boom for stock markets which is why many Americans are rolling over or transferring their retirement accounts into assets that better align with the President’s plans.
Three policies stand out regarding IRAs, 401(k)s, and other types of retirement savings. Arguably the most important of these, which has been hot in the news recently, is the President’s use of tariffs. They are important staples of the President’s long- and short-term plans as he wields tariffs for negotiating as well as balancing trade relationships.
Tariffs also increase government revenues with President Trump longing for the days when tariffs can partially or even fully replace the income tax. This has helped prices of physical precious metals like gold and silver rise to record highs recently.
“President Trump loves tariffs and so do gold and silver prices,” said Jonathan Rose, CEO of faith-driven Genesis Gold Group. “We had more calls after the steel and aluminum tariffs were announced than after any other event during his second term so far.”
The second big economic policy that will impact retirement accounts is President Trump’s desire to weaken the U.S. Dollar. A strong dollar hurts manufacturing in the United States. The President wants an America First mindset to stream through American businesses and needs a weakened dollar to facilitate that.
“We have currency problems, as you know, the depth of the currency now in terms of strong dollar/weak yen, weak yuan, is massive,” President Trump said. “And I used to fight them, you know, they wanted it weak all the time. They would fight it, and I said, if you weaken it any more, I’m going to have to put tariffs on you. They went as far as they could with me, but I was very tough with it. Nobody talks about it now.”

His sentiment in his first term is echoed in his second. If anything, he is even more focused on weakening the dollar. How will this affect IRAs and 401(k)s?
“Like with tariffs, a weak dollar favors gold and silver over other ways to back retirement accounts,” Rose continued. “This is why we’ve positioned our ‘metals mix’ to help our clients take full advantage of President Trump’s fiscal policies.”
The third part of President Trump’s economic policy is mostly out of his hands. He wants interest rates lowered, as he noted recently on Truth Social.
“Interest Rates should be lowered, something which would go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs!!! ” he posted. “Lets Rock and Roll, America!!!”
Lowered interest rates will likely help gold and silver prices rise as well. With Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaling an unwillingness to do so right now, it leaves a potential upside for precious metals prices that won’t be realized just yet.
If and when the Fed drops rates, those holding precious metals in their retirement account will be further rewarded.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
