Tuesday

You want to fuck with Trump, Bessent, Hasset, and Rubio?

1. SELL your U.S. Treasuries.
2. Don't buy any more.
3. Your more technically critical and unique technology(s)? Forbidden to be sold to the U.S.

The first two, like the last time he pulled this shit and markets exploded, will get Bessent's, Hasset's, and Rubio's attention. And the oligarch's who pander to him.
