Lies, Damned Lies, and the Economy: How Trump Was Set Up to Take the Fall

Ed Dowd, former Wall Street money manager and financial analyst, sounded the alarm as early as May, warning that the economy was skidding toward disaster. Now, Dowd says we're at the edge of an outright economic breakdown, soon to be fully exposed.

With the Federal Reserve cutting rates while the Dow hovers near record highs, people should be asking themselves: Why? Dowd explains, "Real weekly wage growth was minus 2% heading into the election—a historic red flag. That minus 2% also marked the recessions leading into landslide elections of 1980 and 1992."

"The Numbers Are Cooked"

"I have never seen such blatant manipulation of government statistics," Dowd asserts. He’s not mincing words here: government spending and hiring are doing nothing but plastering over a failing economy. In other words, the average American is hurting, while the numbers fed to us scream "prosperity." When Dowd predicted Trump would win, it wasn’t just based on polls—it was the hard economic truth. Biden's so-called economic "wins" have been nothing but a fantasy sold by media cronies. What got Trump elected? The sheer weight of real economic hardship, not the feel-good propaganda rolled out by every mainstream news outlet in the country.

The reality, according to Dowd, is this: the economy has been collapsing, but markets haven’t caught on yet. When they do, he warns, Trump will be left holding the bag for the “turd of a financial crisis” that’s been in the making. And here’s the kicker—the government’s been cooking the books. Dowd says that once the stats are corrected, we’ll see that the U.S. entered a recession this year, long before Trump took office.

The Biden administration, the Fed, and Wall Street have all been complicit in using fraudulent numbers to keep the public from panicking. But Trump’s team, Dowd insists, needs to expose the truth before the inevitable crash lands at their doorstep. If they don’t make it clear that this was a setup—a handoff of a time bomb disguised as an “economic recovery”—they’ll take the blame for a catastrophe that was “baked into the cake.”

COVID Fallout: A Ticking Health Disaster

If inheriting a gutted economy wasn’t enough, Trump also faces a massive health crisis brought on by the COVID-19 vaccine push. Dowd states, “We have been tracking excess deaths, disabilities, and injuries that are spiking due to the COVID vaccines. Heart attacks, neurological damage, cancers—they’re all through the roof." According to Dowd, the introduction of these vaccines triggered a “funnel” effect on the population: massive numbers of people are injured, a growing number are disabled, and many are dead.

As of 2023, there were approximately 1.2 million excess deaths in the U.S., along with four million disabilities and 32 million injuries. Globally, the numbers are staggering: between 8 million and 15 million dead, 40 to 60 million disabled, and up to 900 million people with compromised immune systems. These people are falling ill constantly, adding more stress to a healthcare system already overwhelmed.

Dowd doesn’t mince words when he says the U.S. is running at “once-in-200-year flood numbers.” This level of mortality isn’t a blip on the radar—it’s a catastrophe we’ll be facing for decades. He calls this the “biggest healthcare failure we’ve ever seen” and insists we need a "global truth moment" to address the mRNA vaccines' damage.

But instead of a public reckoning, we get silence. Politicians, Big Pharma, and the media are turning a blind eye, hoping that Americans won’t notice the rising body count. According to Dowd, continuing to ignore this reality isn’t just negligent; it’s “unethical, immoral, and criminal.”

Financial Chaos Looms: Dollar, Gold, and Debt

On top of the health and economic crises, Dowd warns of a looming financial storm centered around the U.S. dollar and soaring debt. While the dollar isn’t disappearing tomorrow, he believes it’s time to take a serious look at alternatives—gold, debt management, and real assets that aren't subject to the endless manipulation of the financial elite.

The Last Stand

Trump's new administration is staring down an apocalyptic mess—an economy rigged to crash, a health crisis swept under the rug, and a financial system ready to snap. The cards have been stacked, and unless Trump gets ahead of this narrative, his team will be painted as the villains. This isn’t just a downturn—it’s a coordinated deception.
