Trump's 5 Moves the MEGA Chess Board






@MrPool_QQ asserts President Trump just made 5 moves and nobody is connecting the dots.


MOVE 1: Signed executive order threatening 25% TARIFFS on any country trading with Iran. Target: China. India. Turkey. The petrodollar stranglehold is

ENDING. MOVE 2: Threatened to SUE his own Federal Reserve nominee if he doesn't lower rates. "It was a joke." No. It was a WARNING. The Fed's days are numbered.

MOVE 3: Pentagon CUT ALL TIES with Harvard. Military training. Fellowships. Programs. ALL GONE. The Ivy League pipeline to power is DEAD.

MOVE 4: Launched TrumpRx. 43 medications. Ozempic included. Big Pharma's monopoly: BROKEN. They charged you $1,000. He's giving it for $300.

MOVE 5: DHS funding expires February 13th. 6 days from now. Controlled shutdown incoming. Why? Because you can't RESTRUCTURE what's still running. Connect the dots: Iran tariffs = END of petrodollar Fed threat = END of central banking control Harvard cut = END of Deep State recruitment TrumpRx = END of Big Pharma monopoly DHS shutdown = RESTRUCTURING of homeland security This isn't chaos. This is a DEMOLITION. Piece by piece. System by system. Pillar by pillar. The old world is being dismantled in REAL TIME. And the new one is being built while you watch.






The Moves




MOVE 1: Executive Order on Tariffs for Countries Trading with Iran
• What happened: On February 6, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order authorizing up to 25% tariffs on imports from countries that continue to trade with Iran, including direct or indirect purchases of Iranian goods or services (e.g., oil).
bbc.com
The order cites Iran's nuclear pursuits, terrorism support, and regional destabilization as justifications.
dw.com
It doesn't impose tariffs immediately but uses 25% as an example rate, with implementation at the president's discretion.
reuters.com
Key targets include China (Iran's top oil buyer), India, Turkey, Russia, and others.
gcaptain.com
• Timeline: The order was signed on Feb 6 and took effect Feb 7, building on Trump's January 12, 2026, Truth Social post threatening such tariffs.
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
• Implications: This escalates pressure on Iran amid resuming nuclear talks in Oman.
youtube.com
Regarding the "petrodollar stranglehold ending," this could disrupt global oil trade (Iran exports ~1.5M barrels/day, mostly to China), potentially weakening dollar-denominated oil dominance if countries shift currencies or routes.






MOVE 2: Threat to Sue Federal Reserve Nominee Over Interest Rates
• What happened: At a private Alfalfa Club dinner on January 31, 2026, Trump joked about suing his Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, if he doesn't lower interest rates.
cnn.com
Trump later told reporters it was "all comedy" and a "roast."
apnews.com
However, during Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's February 5 Senate hearing, Bessent wouldn't rule out a DOJ investigation or lawsuit against Warsh for non-compliance, saying it's "up to the president."
cnbc.com
This echoes Trump's past criticisms of Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates aggressively.
banking.senate.gov
• Timeline: The joke was made Jan 31; Bessent's comments on Feb 5.
• Implications: While dismissed as humor, it highlights Trump's push for Fed independence reform. The "Fed's days are numbered" interpretation suggests intent to curb central bank autonomy, but no formal actions have been taken to "end" it. Warsh's nomination is stalled in committee, partly over these concerns.

MOVE 3: Pentagon Cuts Ties with Harvard
• What happened: On February 6, 2026, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Department of War (formerly Defense) is severing academic ties with Harvard University, ending graduate-level professional military education (PME), fellowships, and certificate programs starting in the 2026-2027 school year.
war.gov
Current students can finish, but no new enrollments.
nytimes.com
Hegseth called Harvard "woke" and said it no longer aligns with training "warriors."
theguardian.com
The Pentagon will review ties with other universities.
reuters.com
• Timeline: Announced Feb 6.
• Implications: This affects programs like those at Harvard's Kennedy School (Hegseth's alma mater).
nytimes.com
The "Ivy League pipeline to power is dead" claim ties into broader Trump admin critiques of elite institutions as "deep state" recruiters.






MOVE 4: Launch of TrumpRx
• What happened: On February 5, 2026, Trump unveiled TrumpRx.gov, a website offering discounted prices on 43 high-cost medications for cash-paying or uninsured patients.
whitehouse.gov
It stems from "most-favored-nation" deals with 16 drugmakers, aligning U.S. prices with lower international rates.
reuters.com
Ozempic (for diabetes/weight loss) drops from ~$1,000/month to $199–$350 depending on dose; similar cuts for Wegovy, Zepbound, and others like insulin and fertility drugs.
cbsnews.com
More drugs will be added.
pharmacytimes.com
• Timeline: Launched Feb 5.
• Implications: Aimed at breaking "Big Pharma's monopoly," it provides immediate savings (e.g., $600+ off Ozempic) but targets only self-pay users—not insured or Medicare patients broadly.
pbs.org
Manufacturers committed to U.S. investments in exchange.






MOVE 5: DHS Funding Expiration
• What happened: On February 3, 2026, Trump signed a funding package ending a brief partial government shutdown, providing full-year FY2026 funding (through Sept 30) for most agencies (e.g., Defense, Treasury, HHS).
politico.com
However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) got only a short-term extension through February 13, 2026 (6 days from now).
taxathand.com
This allows negotiations on immigration enforcement "guardrails" after recent controversies (e.g., ICE raids and shootings).
thehill.com
If no deal by Feb 13, DHS could shut down, affecting TSA, FEMA, ICE, etc.
fragomen.com
• Timeline: Signed Feb 3; expires Feb 13.
• Implications: The "controlled shutdown for restructuring" angle suggests using the lapse to overhaul DHS (e.g., more aggressive border policies).




Connecting the Dots


The post interprets these as a deliberate "demolition" of systems like the petrodollar, central banking, deep state recruitment, Big Pharma, and homeland security. Factually, these actions align with Trump's second-term priorities: trade leverage against adversaries, Fed pressure for economic stimulus, ideological shifts in institutions, drug price cuts, and hardline immigration.Potential links: They reflect a pattern of executive actions to assert control over foreign policy (Iran tariffs), economy (Fed/TrumpRx), military education (Harvard cut), and security (DHS funding leverage). For instance, the Iran EO could indirectly support petrodollar goals by isolating Iran's oil trade, while DHS negotiations tie into broader "restructuring" rhetoric.
Counterpoints: Many are continuations of first-term policies (e.g., Iran sanctions, drug pricing EOs) rather than a sudden "48-hour" blitz. The Fed comment was explicitly a joke, and DHS's short funding is due to bipartisan stalemate, not premeditated chaos.
Broader context: These moves come amid high approval for Trump's early actions (polls show ~55% support for tariffs/drug cuts), but risks include market volatility, diplomatic fallout, and shutdown disruptions.
