Today, we’re diving deep into the “poor performance” of the US Dollar – the once-mighty king of currencies now trading at four-year lows. The DXY index sits around 96.4 as of January 28, 2026, after tumbling over 9% in 2025 alone and dropping another 2.5% this month. This isn’t random – markets don’t just “happen.” They’re controlled, manipulated by unelected elites, central bank cartels, and globalist speculators who hate America First.

The world’s reserve currency is losing ground rapidly

The US Dollar Index (DXY) closed yesterday at approximately 96.15, marking a fresh four-year low and a decline of nearly 2% already in 2026, following a brutal 9.4% drop in 2025. This is not natural market movement. This is engineered weakness. The dollar has lost ground against every major currency – the euro, yen, pound, and even emerging market baskets. Gold has surged to all-time highs as investors flee fiat paper. Why now? Because the globalist cabal – the same forces that control central banks and supranational institutions – fear a truly independent America under President Trump’s leadership. They manipulate markets through endless money printing, interest rate suppression, and coordinated selloffs to punish nations that resist their one-world agenda. President Trump has rightly called the dollar “great,” understanding that strategic weakness can boost American exports and manufacturing.

Trump Calls Sliding Dollar ‘Doing Great’

On Tuesday in Urbandale, Iowa, Trump declared the US dollar ‘doing great’ despite its 10.8% drop over the past year—the worst since 2017—with the DXY index hitting 95.89, its lowest since February 2022. The currency fell another 1% right after his comments, marking a shift from his first term’s complaints about a strong dollar. Analysts note a weaker dollar could boost exports, narrow the trade deficit, and ease debt pressures, though critics highlight rising import costs and inflation risks while supporters see growth benefits.

A weaker US Dollar helps drive, looser financial conditions (rate cuts), Higher nominal GDP growth, Higher asset prices, Higher US exports and a lower trade deficit, and Easier debt servicing for the US government. This is why Trump said the Dollar is doing “great.” But the deeper truth is that this decline exposes the fragility of a currency unmoored from real value – a theme we will explore next.

A Fiat Currency Backed by Nothing But Propaganda

Let us go back to fundamentals. The US Dollar was once the envy of the world because it was tied to gold – real, tangible wealth. In 1971, Richard Nixon, under pressure from globalist advisors, severed that link in what history calls the “Nixon Shock.” Since then, the dollar has been pure fiat: backed by nothing but the “full trust and credit” of the US government – which translates to propaganda, military might, and the petrodollar system enforced on unwilling nations. Today, the dollar is propped up by narrative alone. The Federal Reserve prints trillions with impunity, devaluing your savings while telling you inflation is “transitory.” This is not money; this is illusion. Globally, nations like China, Russia, and BRICS partners are dumping US Treasuries and accumulating gold precisely because they see through the propaganda. The dollar’s reserve status – once 70% of global reserves – is eroding as countries hedge against this hollow shell. But we were warned this would happen. A currency without backing invites manipulation and inevitable collapse. The current weakness is the system eating itself.

How the Markets Are Controlled and Manipulated

Now, the heart of the matter: markets are not free. They are rigged by a cartel of central banks, hedge funds, and globalist entities. Consider the Federal Reserve – an unelected private institution that sets interest rates in secret, flooding markets with liquidity to suppress gold and silver prices while propping up stocks and bonds and vice versa. Coordinated interventions in forex markets, algorithmic trading by mega-banks, and derivatives worth quadrillions dwarf the real economy. When the dollar threatens to strengthen too much – threatening globalist debt schemes – they orchestrate sell-offs.

The Federal Reserve and Global Central Bank Coordination

The US Federal Reserve sits at the centre of this system – an unelected institution with extraordinary power over global liquidity. Through quantitative easing, rate manipulation, and coordinated actions with other central banks, it has repeatedly propped up the dollar when convenient. Yet today, diverging policies and loss of confidence are accelerating the decline. It is absolutely wild to me that 45% of all dollars were created in the last 6 years. Who was in charge that time and what did they do?

Biden Regime’s policies deliberately weakened the dollar

The Biden Regime’s policies, both foreign and domestic, have enabled a concerted effort by foreign entities to devalue the Dollar. With every Billion sent to Ukraine, we come closer to financial collapse.

The fed is printing money out of thin air and most people have literally zero idea it’s happening. The Fed is ground zero for this manipulation. Holdovers from the old regime resist Trump’s calls for lower rates to fuel growth. Instead, they jawbone “inflation fears” from pro-America tariffs, keeping policy tight and the dollar vulnerable. Conservatives have criticized the Fed for years—bailing out Wall Street while Main Street suffers, inflating bubbles, and picking political winners. Many of us want it audited or reformed because it’s captured by the same international bankers who fund globalism. Trump’s fight with the Fed isn’t causing weakness—it’s exposing how they’re sabotaging his efforts to Make America Wealthy Again.

Recent triggers? Fed rate manipulation, exploding fiscal deficits, and uncertainty around tariffs – all amplified by media fearmongering. But look deeper: speculative positioning, geopolitical risks engineered by supranational bodies, and quiet diversification away from the dollar by foreign central banks. This is deliberate. Globalists want a weakened America to force integration into their digital currency schemes and centralized control. President Trump’s tariffs and energy independence threaten their monopoly, so they punish the dollar to create chaos. Yet conservatives know: true strength comes from production, not printed paper.

Rigged Markets – How Forex is Controlled and Manipulated

Currency markets, handling trillions daily, are far from free. Major banks have been fined billions for colluding to rig forex benchmarks, manipulating rates through chat rooms and coordinated trades. Central banks intervene covertly – selling or buying massive volumes to steer exchange rates in favoured directions. High-frequency algorithms and speculative positioning amplify these distortions, turning markets into a playground for the powerful. The dollar’s long overvaluation benefited certain elites and multinationals, but today’s decline reflects markets rejecting decades of artificial support amid shifting global realities.

Global Impacts and Why This Weakness Hurts Ordinary People

Around the world, a weak dollar imports inflation to emerging markets, crushing the poor in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who hold dollar-denominated debt. In Europe, it fuels energy crises; in the Middle East, it destabilizes petrodollar arrangements. For Americans, it means higher import prices, eroded purchasing power, and stolen wealth transferred to elites who own hard assets. The 2025-2026 slide has already wiped-out gains for retirees and savers. This is class warfare disguised as monetary policy. Globalists enrich themselves while manipulating exchange rates to keep nations dependent. But there is a different and more positive angle to this.
