Tariffs and trade wars are bad enough. But there are signs he’s willing to go even further and weaponise the dollar to get what he wants. In an off-the-cuff remark during a White House press point last month, he told reporters that the €34 trillion in outstanding US debt would be “looked at” because some of it might be “fraudulent.”

“Toying with the idea of not paying back holders of US debt is a more fundamental threat to the dollar than the end of Bretton Woods.”

Fuck me, this clown is going to create a world-wide recession and dethrone the dollar himself.
