Introduction

In 2020, the world was hit by what was described as a global pandemic. But behind the headlines, lockdowns, and panic, something far more consequential was unfolding—an engineered crisis that served as cover for a massive power shift in global finance. At the center of that shift was President Donald J. Trump, who used the chaos not just to respond to COVID-19, but to cripple the true seat of economic control in America: the Federal Reserve.

The Perfect Cover: A Manufactured Crisis

COVID-19 created the perfect storm. Fear paralyzed the public. Governments worldwide enacted sweeping emergency powers. Big Pharma cashed in with rushed vaccines. Meanwhile, trillions of dollars were created out of thin air. The average citizen saw stimulus checks and mandates. But few noticed the deeper move: the merging of the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury under Trump’s watch.

The Setup: CARES Act and Treasury-Fed Fusion

Under the CARES Act, the Treasury handed over $454 billion to the Fed to support emergency lending. The Fed, in turn, leveraged this to backstop trillions in loans to corporations, states, and banks. On paper, this was economic stimulus. In reality, it marked the beginning of the Fed losing its independence. For the first time, monetary policy and fiscal policy were effectively merged—with the Treasury calling the shots.

The Kill Shot: Trump’s Quiet Coup

While the media focused on daily case counts and vaccine rollouts, Trump orchestrated a deeper war—one against the private central banking system itself. By tying the Fed's emergency powers to Treasury capital, Trump put the Fed in a chokehold. They could create money, but only with Treasury approval. That flipped over a century of monetary control.

And while many blamed Trump for his vaccine support, it’s possible he allowed Operation Warp Speed to go forward not to help Big Pharma, but to keep the public distracted while he executed the financial reset.

Aftermath: A Hollowed-Out Fed

Fast forward to 2025, and the Fed still exists—but it's a shadow of its former self. Its credibility is damaged, its independence compromised, and its tools less effective. Meanwhile, populist movements, state-level resistance to the IRS, and discussions of eliminating federal income taxes are gaining traction.

Conclusion

COVID-19 was never just a health crisis. It was a battlefield. And while many players made power grabs for control, Trump may have been the only one who used the chaos to dismantle the real engine of global control: the Federal Reserve. He didn’t just survive the deep state attack—he flipped the board.
