Yeah from my perspective this seems very sustainable for China. Not sure what Bressent is talking about.

Trump's approval rating is in decline. 42% and likely lower now.

Maybe more of the GOP will find their spine.

Trump and his crew are really the antithesis of patriots, I'm surprised that more people on the right do not see this.

3 months and they toss away the position of hegemony.... truth really can be stranger than fiction  <_<

Hegemony is probably too difficult a word for much of the common clay...
So how could they even begin to understand its advantages

They don't see anything besides "Trust Trump".

For all their talk of personal freedom, turns out the Right gets all wet on being submissive to strong personalities.

I'm still thinking of dumping my US ETF before the next shitter rage at 2:00am...

Meanwhile Bitcoin has rallied, recovering a lot of its losses.  Crypto bros are in extasy, having forgotten the last 3 months, now saying it's the new reserve currency like gold.  :whistle:

"Personal freedom" is just MAGA code for "don't touch my guns" and Wall Street code for "cut capital gains taxes".

It's Greek to them.

I do not think that word means what they think it means.

No, it doesn't.  Nothing makes sense with them.

They're all going to be crying.

It's at time taking the place of the US$, at other times taking the place of gold.  

Every big upward swing his a sure sign it's decoupling from the traditional economy.  Certainly not a sign that whales are buying the dip and preparing a massive dump to cash on their profits shortly before a Trump announcement.
