I thought... this is what people wanted?
Weakening the dollar, encouraging/forcing other countries to swap out of Dollars into 'century bonds'...
Forcing tariffs on other countries (well really on Americans when they buy from those countries) without reciprocity under the threat of military force...
Forcing a 'user fee' on the foreign holders of treasuries, for the 'privilege' of holding them, or simply asking foreign countries to 'write checks' to the US for the 'privilege' of using the US dollar/trading with it...
Tariffs on steel, imported autos, aluminum, with a baseline 10% tariff on every country... plus a larger tariff aiming to 'balance out' every single bilateral trade deficit...
Why should other countries use the Dollar at all? The US can't possibly pay the debt back, and if 'user fees' or 'century bonds' are required to be in the 'US' club... and growth in the United States in slowing (which it is)
Isn't Mr Trump the greatest American president ever???
