Is Trump actually doing a better job than you expected?
I have to admit I would have never expected to agree with the title of this oped but I do find Trump second term better than his first one. Let's start from the first win, something I largely anticipated: I knew he was set to sink the US dollar and be instrumental to the appreciation of the euro (and many other currencies with it). He did it in his first term, and I was so sure he would repeat himself that I sold all of my US denominated assets and converted them into Swiss Franc and Euro, resulting in a 13% gain, after factoring in the loss of 2% recorded in the last two days. And it's only the beginning. It's just a matter of time he will prevail upon Powel and force the FED rates down, causing a further depreciation of the USD and the currency loosely or tightly peg to it, like many currencies in Asia. Thank you Mr. Trump! Second win, and it's a big thing for me. He is strangling Putin and the Russian economy with him. He imposed Europe to stop purchasing energy from Russia, it's traditional supplier of cheap gas and diesel. As European I am ashamed that my European Union kept on purchasing these commodities from Russia. I understand the pressure Orban, the AfD, Salvini, and all the parties of the extreme right and left put on the EU Commission to keep the gas and diesel taps open. But Trump, despite Musk and Vance openly sympathizing with these right wing, pro-Russian leaders, stood his ground and ensured justice was made. The EU wil never buy energy from Russia again. But he is going much further than this. By imposing secondary sanctions on India and China, for Putin it is going to be game over. And I rejoice in anticipation of a Putin free world: Thank you Mr. Trump! Third win, and it's another big thing for me: he pushed Europe to arm herself and stand on her feet again, as it used to do before our former colony raised to its current superpower status and became Europe's sugar daddy. I will never thank Trump enough for forcing the Europeans to behave as grown-up men and women again, after 50 years of shame. Fourth win, and it's another big thing for me: by introducing new taxes (i.e. tariffs) and depreciating the US dollar he has made a big contribution to reduce global warming, much bigger than the millions of leftist right-thinking, organic veggie-burgers eating would have ever done in their entire lives. A Swiss citizen consumes approximately 2.5 toe, which translates to roughly 29,000 kWh of electricity per year, while an American citizen in average consumes 7.76 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe) of energy per year, or about 89.97 MWh. A weaker US dollar plus additional taxes means that the average American consumers become poorer and is forced to bring its consumption down to more sustainable levels. Thank you Mr. Trump, future generations will remember you and your bravery! Fifth win, something I am delighted of: he is putting a serious brake on immigration. There was once a United States of America characterized by a deeply north European culture and dominated by a WASP elite (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). This was before a massive injection of immigrants, especially Latin immigrants, turned the country i a sort of ugly copy of the banana republics south of the Panama Canal. Vulgar, loud, violent, ostentatious, corrupt to the bones, greedy, disrespectful of the law, the privacy and the property, armed to the teeth and ready to use force to impose the law of the strongest. America resembling everyday more Colombia rather than Friesland, North Holland, Cornwall, Jutland, or Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, with the latter being the homeland of most of the Pilgrim Fathers. Mr. Trump has put a stop to all this. America will go back to its cultural roots. And it's a win for America, and it's a win for the free world, for the rule of law, for the personal freedom of each one of us. That's the fifth reason I say thank you Mr. Trump. Notwithstanding the above I also recognize he has some shortfalls, and some serious ones. Especially his habit of diverging from the truth. However, let's be honest, who hasn't any shortfall? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". I won't be that one. -

Choosing Between DTV and Retirement Visa
On bank-accounts, reports that some who opened new accounts on DTVs had them closed. BKB's new "4 month balance-freeze" plays in the other direction. If adopted by other banks, many would be moving to DTVs or other options - or just leaving. DLs are 2 years instead of 5 - though some DL branches were reported to be restricting Non-Imm applicants to 2 years, while others continue to offer the 5-year. I have not seen any recent reports of problems re-entering, or requiring "proof you still need it" documentation upon entry. OTOH, for in-country extensions of DTV entries at immigration offices, "harder than getting the original visa" requirements have been reported. -
