* It is Wednesday, November 9, 2016, one day following one of the biggest political upsets in U.S. political history * As Donald Trump shocked everybody by defeating Hillary Clinton * Hillary Clinton was supposedly the most qualified person ever to seek the U.S. Presidency, and Donald Trump had no experience whatsoever * And the establishment had already sworn in Hillary Clinton; it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that she was going to win * I think she was almost a 10:1 favorite even on the day of the polls * Even the early exit polls were predicting a Clinton win * All the while, I felt in my gut that Donald Trump was going to win this election * Why did I think he had such a strong probability of winning? * I understood what almost no one in the mainstream media got, and that is the phony nature of the U.S. recovery * The entire time President Obama was congratulating himself for having gotten us out of the mess created by his predecessor, and bragging about the strength of the recovery * And labeling all critics as "fiction peddlers" * I understood that the "fiction that was peddled" was in fact, reality * And the real fiction peddler was the Commander in Chief * Not only President Obama, but the Federal Reserve - Janet Yellen and the rest of her cronies at the Fed * Constantly talking up the U.S. recovery and how the strengthening recovery would somehow result in higher interest rates * Of course, Wall Street had a vested interest in peddling that fiction * So everybody believed that the economy was strong, and therefore the voters would want to sign up for 4 more years * After all, if Obama was responsible for the recovery voters would want to continue that recovery under Clinton * They would not want to go back to the supposed failed policies of Bush that somehow would be adopted by Trump * I knew that the entire recovery was an illusion * And it simply existed in the minds of the people who fabricated itOur Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/GOLD* Check out Justin Wine and use my code SCHIFF20 for a great deal: https://www.justinwine.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
