Because the US economy is like a coked up salesman, not a great guy, but he’s hit those growth targets out of the park. Until now. But he’s running out of gas and the party’s over, pissed off too many people.
So investing in the US is something like buying shady Crypto coins? Hope you get some huge gains before it tanks and possibly takes down the rest of the economy with it?
I kinda hope they dissolve and something more reasonable forms from their ashes. They are too big and with too much military and economic power concentrated in one spot.
I’m surprised anyone trusted the USA after it broke the Bretton Woods agreement, said it was temporary, and then adopted a post-hoc Keynesian rationale.
Wasn’t tanking the bond market like the first thing Trump did in his second term? Or, I guess the uncertainty his “policies” result in (whether intentional or not) has tanked the bond market.
It was. And it was due to the tarrifs and uncertain nature (I.e. Trump chaos). Between that and cooking the GDP and Jobs numbers and firing hundreds of thousands of government employees that keep us functioning and you have a shit domestic market to sell into.
They don’t even have to sell what they’ve got. They just have to stop buying more and invest elsewhere instead.
The US runs on a perpetually increasing deficit. If that line were to stop going up, we’d instantly fall into a recession.
They would be crazy to keep investing in the US at this point. Why throw good money after bad? Time to cut your loses and move on I think.

That sounds as American as apple pie.
Yeah and they are getting to a point where there isn’t much growth to be had.
Which is why I think he wants Venezuela and Greenland, I honestly think the US is kind of broke.
If that keeps the party going, then unfortunately some will keep investing.
Hence why it’s actually critical not to just give him Greenland, making it hard will have an impact.
All of this is dead on. I hope one day the US can regain the worlds trust, but I don’t expect it in my lifetime.

US can issue domestically without issue.
It’ll be a few years until it gets to Weimar Republic levels.
Don’t forget that Trump has completely deregulated the crypto market. Even Americans don’t believe in America.
That’s certainly for personal gain. An emoluments violation should be an open and shut case.

The only American bonds that I would buy, would be War Bonds for waging war against the Trump Regime.
In Jan 2024 the short term bonds were at 5% and long term at 4%. Jan 2025 and Jan 2026 short term bonds were at 4% and long term at 5%.
So, no. Bond market hasn’t changed much. Yet.
