Trump’s Policy Risks Multi-Front Storm, Erodes Dollar
President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Monday, March 31, 2025. 
Trust in the US is crumbling worldwide, Paul Goncharoff, veteran financial analyst and director of Goncharoff LLC, told Sputnik. Why?
Flip-Flopping
“The positions taken by the US on the domestic and, more importantly, the world stage in places both near and far are visibly flip-flopping and changing day by day,” Goncharoff says.
Absurd Threats
"Threatening most of the nations of our planet with unrealistic sanctions or tariffs if they trade in their own currencies and not with the US dollar is a poor way to gain trust," he argues.
Unipolar Tariffs
The effect of measures like the unipolar tariffs imposed on Canada to Mexico and from ASEAN nations to the EU makes the US look like “a monkey playing with a grenade” in their eyes.

The Dollar Turns Toxic
While US debt balloons, the dollar is “well along its way to being treated as a toxic asset,” Goncharoff says. A sudden collapse in its value is now a real possibility.
Ruling Through Conflict
Despite Trump’s talk of peace, US-backed military action continues in the Middle East. Arms flow to Ukraine and the South China Sea region is heating up. The looming question is: Where will the US find the funds to fight three—or four—conflicts at once?
What’s Next?
“The era of a perfect multiple-front storm system [is] already forming, which can threaten to destroy financial and geopolitical systems that we have over many decades grown used to,” Goncharoff warns.
