If you think the rapid rises in price of precious metals is just a market anomaly, then look at the last year's decreases in foreign investors buying of US treasuries, equities as well as general goods and services. Some of this is a function of national debt level and may have happened anyway but much is likely America under Trump becoming a pariah that no one wants to support. Being stupid and creating chaos does have negative consequences.
