large groups exiting our treasuries yet. But once that first domino falls, others will follow suit quickly. And when that happens, we're are so screwed. We had it made being the preferred reserve currency of the world. And trump stole that from us. He stole it from our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren. And, I'll lay odds the more dominoes that fall, the pissier he's going to get... seeing it as a personal affront against him... and there'll be more hell for the rest of us to pay. Oh, Grim Reaper... wherefore art thou?
