Before the 2024 election earlier this month, President-Elect Donald Trump talked daily about tariffs. Now that he’s preparing to take office, it’s becoming increasingly clear that he wasn’t just making frivolous campaign promises. As he is wont to do, he intends to keep his promise and use tariffs as leverage to improve America’s economy.
He even warned China, Canada, and Mexico that if they don’t help him seal the border from human invasion and drug trafficking, they would be the first recipients of harsh tariffs on top of what he already has planned.
So far, it seems to be working as both Canada and Mexico signaled a strong willingness to play ball.
With Trump’s Agenda 47, tariffs will be implemented swiftly and economists believe will likely have their desired effect. As Reuters noted Thursday:
Gold prices rose on Thursday as geopolitical uncertainty and trade war concerns boosted safe-haven demand, with low trading volumes expected as U.S. markets are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Geopolitical risks remain elevated with ongoing war in Russia-Ukraine, and while an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire is in force, Israel’s contingencies for retaliation keep tensions alive, said Aneeka Gupta, director of macroeconomic research at WisdomTree.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to hit Canada and Mexico with tariffs was also having an effect, she added. “It did increase a bit of concern on the possible repercussions from these two countries. So that continues to remain an important support factor for gold.”
Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, said his company has positioned its clients to ride the Trump economic wave by using a proper mix of physical gold and silver to back their retirement accounts.
“We anticipated Trump’s victory and made the right moves to benefit our clients, both new and existing,” he said. “There are still threats but with the Trump administration steering the ship we project big moves for precious metals prices just as they moved in his first term.
“In fact, we have reasons to believe his administration will be even better for precious metals than his first term when gold rose 51%.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
