I'm not sure I understand. Has he already taken office? I'm not putting any expectations on him.

How would it be possible to “mine all remaining bitcoin in the USA”? What could possibly be done to prevent any person or entity outside of the USA from mining a single block? It’s just a clear misunderstanding of how bitcoin mining works, and nothing will make that statement achievable. I guess maybe a credible threat of nuclear attack against any location detected to be mining bitcoin outside of the US. Even then, that would not be ‘good for Bitcoin’.

Now I understand your comment. Yes, it's impossible to make that statement (9). Basic mistake!
