        It's almost as if every phrase in his tweet is false. "cherished dollar". Really? 🤦‍♀️ So much wrong with that statement I can't even...

        I know we’re way past it, but “cherished dollar” is such a weird phrase. It’s a phrase Scrooge would use. How people pretend he’s a “blue collar billionaire” still baffles me.

        That's why Russia is sharing bitcoin with Venezuela to pay for oil to replace the US dollar.

        He’s well aware, probably has unsecured daily conversations with his boss. Why else would he need to go on offense for defense?

        Using the word 'cherished' to describe the dollar is perhaps the biggest tell in that tweet.

        Russia has ditched its US dollar holdings because it fears economic and financial attack by the US through the US dollar system. Odd they are afraid of this given that President Trump is supposedly a KGB puppet?

        He has leverage and control over his creditors. Not the other way around.

        That’s the way it has worked for him in the past, with “legitimate” banks. Now he is beholden to gray market forces. Also, he got elected president, possibly not his intention.
