I believe both domestic and international financial markets are warning DJT not to threaten Greenland with military takeover or threaten EU with more tariffs. He had the audacity to present a map yesterday at the WH with USA, Venezuela and Greenland draped under US flags.

Too bad TIME magazine does not have a Jerk of the Year award, he will win it hands down for his executive actions in 2025.

Scary proposition indeed. Wonder if ordinary Americans are even aware that millions of people around the world stash their savings in USD because the USD bills never expire. The USD is typically bought at unofficial exchange rates which typically command large premiums.
