July Estimate: $37.5B. September Reality: $43.6B.

And that's before $1.5 billion in extra fuel — the Pentagon's full tally is now $45.1 billion.

GOVERNMENT & POWER • MILITARY & DEFENSE

In July, Defense Secretary Hegseth told Congress the war had cost $37.5 billion. By September 3, the Pentagon's tally was $43.6 billion — $6.1 billion more in about six weeks. Add $1.5 billion in extra fuel, and the latest figure sent to Congress is $45.1 billion. Even that doesn't include the cost of repairing damaged U.S. bases. And on Friday, while most of the country was reading the jobs report, Trump met with his national security team at Camp David to discuss what comes next.

Trump’s December Surprise

On December 14, President Trump will gather the leaders of the world’s largest economies at his private Miami resort.

And I believe what happens there could change the U.S. dollar forever – potentially triggering a historic repricing across American markets.

The pieces are already falling into place:

A flurry of executive orders… billion-dollar government stakes in obscure mining companies… a landmark pact with 13 nations… and a special agreement signed by six billionaire tech moguls.

At Trump’s December summit, those pieces could finally be assembled in public for the first time – and a new kind of dollar presented to the world as a done deal.

Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat – whether you support this monetary shift or oppose it – you could soon be using Trump’s New Dollar.

That’s why I’ve produced this critical new documentary revealing:

Why I believe Trump is desperately trying to reset America’s money…

Why this has nothing to do with Bitcoin or gold – but is tied to the most valuable resource of the 21st century…

And three moves I believe you can make today to prepare – including the name and ticker of the investment I believe could benefit as this shift unfolds.

The last time America reset its money, it reportedly created – on average – more than 1,000 new millionaires every day for five decades.

But that was only one side of the story.

Millions of workers and savers were quietly left behind as their wages stalled, their savings were hollowed out and the American Dream slipped beyond their reach.

Now, I believe that same dividing line could be drawn again.

Here’s how I think you can prepare.
