President Donald Trump. Whether you love or hate him, we may be witnessing oneessing of the largest cover-up and misdirection campaigns in modern politics.
The Art of Deception
Deception is the foundation of war and strategy. – Robert Greene
War is deception, and deception is war – Abu Bakr
War is the art of deception – Niccolo Machiavelli
In war, deception and misinformation are as important as weapons and ammunition – John Keegan
Trump's campaign may not be related to prominent issues like tariffs, immigration, or legal battles. These are just pawns, knights, and bishops on the chessboard – intentional distractions. Some observers believe that Trump's real intention might be deliberately hidden behind public distractions and controversies.
Although these prominent battles are important, serving as top priorities and attracting public and media attention, they work exactly as intended – distractions hiding a deeper strategic goal.
Real Target: Big Banks
Some critics argue that Trump's actions suggest the banking system could be the primary target. Not just the US banking infrastructure, but the entire global network of central banks and and large financial corporations, including powerful institutions like JP Morgan Chase and Citi.
But why banks? The answer is very simple, but something people have forgotten amidst all the noise. Financial institutions attacked first.
After ending his presidential term, many banks terminated their relationship with Trump. described this as de 'debanking'. They targeted his capital access and attempted to cut essential financial services and economically isolbusinesses.Banking Services for Donald Trump

The Inevitable Rise of DeFi
Even without Trump's financial war against traditional banks, DeFi's advancement has long been inevitable. Decentralized platforms provide transparency and efficiency that cannot be matched by traditional financial institutions. With negligible operating costs and the rapid maturation of the entire space, superior lending rates and significantly higher yields are the future.
It can be argued that Trump's moves will significantly accelerate DeFi's rise. Instead of traditional finance (TradFi) gradually losing market share, some may view Trump's silent war against global banking infrastructure as a swift attack on centralized financial institutions.
