What Trump’s new dollar means for you
We believe Executive Order 14241 has unleashed a potentially huge change to America’s money.
Republican or Democrat – whether you support or oppose Trump’s New Dollar – you could soon be using it.
If you have savings in the bank or a stock portfolio, we believe you need to understand what’s unfolding – and take specific action to prepare.
In Porter Stansberry’s new documentary, you’ll discover:
How the last time America reset its money, it minted 1,300 new millionaires a day – and why we believe what's coming could be bigger still.
The 5 assets to own before America's new money rolls out – including the one Porter would buy today for immediate exposure.
The critical resources Trump is moving heaven and earth to control, because America’s new money depends on it.
Why the U.S. government is suddenly buying ownership stakes in tiny American mining companies – a move not seen since the depths of World War II.
Why a single gathering of world leaders this December – at Trump's own Miami resort – could be the moment America's new dollar is revealed to the world as a done deal.
| What's Surprising |
Germany did not win by giving more. It cut its aid 17.4% in real terms. America cut 56.9%, the largest reduction by any donor in any year on record. Germany finished $135 million ahead.
The United States now gives 0.09% of its national income, the lowest share of the 33 donor countries. Norway gives 1.03%, more than 11 times as much.
The real outlier sits off the chart. Türkiye is an OECD member but sits outside its donor committee and reports separately. Its $7.5 billion would rank seventh, ahead of Italy and Canada.
| What's Not Surprising |
The top five are last year’s top five in a new order. Together they caused 95.7% of the fall. It was the first year on record in which all five cut.
Only four countries met the UN target of 0.7% of national income: Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden and Denmark. None is in the top five. Small donors give the most for their size. Big economies give the most dollars.
Ukraine received $44.9 billion counting EU institutions, the most any single country has ever received. That is more than donors gave directly to all the least developed countries combined, $28.1 billion.

The OECD publishes final 2025 figures in December. First 2026 figures usually follow in April. It already projects another 5.8% fall in 2026. Germany leads by $135 million, a margin small enough for final data to flip. Two numbers decide next year’s #1: Washington’s 2026 aid budget and Berlin’s. We’ll be watching. |
