Watch closely, one of Trump’s son is promoting Bitcoin, the other Gold. Something is up, and I trust President Trump has a plan.

Our government spends too much.

Trump should every day hold up one of the old paper $1.6 trillion in unpaid Chinese treasuries that Americans own, dating back to 1911, and publicly tell everybody that China does not pay its bills. China's bond rating should be C for Crap Hole.

Note that this is twice as much as the amount of U.S. treasuries that China owns, and that we make regular payments to.

The United States has enjoyed AAA status since 1917—this downgrade is a dire warning.

The US definitely deserved this. Our spending has been out of control since the Bush II Administration. But if it was a "warning", it should have occurred during the Biden Administration when spending hit truly insane levels.

BRICS isn’t a worry, but the debt and Treasury yields rising ARE a worry.

We need to get this crap under control. Growth will help, but spending must must must must must be cut.

If USA was a private corporation it’s credit rating would be CCC-
But because federals have racing powers and money printing machine, it is still AAa-.

Maybe. Reminder: Moodys and the others fraudulently kept the bond ratings for Lehman Bros. and others UP during the subprime crisis, so I take what they say with a grain of rocksalt.

this downgrade is a dire warning

It is indeed. It might have been averted if the Big Bad Bill had featured more cost-cutting rather than increased spending for Chinese solar panels etc.

President Trump is in a foot race to mollify the bond vigilantes by trimming the annual deficit but he is hobbled by a political reality that will not abide spending cuts. We would not significantly cut spending after the revelations of DOGE, so the hill Trump must climb is higher and steeper.

When you have nothing to begin with, you have nothing to lose. That’s me.
