America's deficits are funded by debt, and Trump's ability to service that debt relies upon global investors, including central banks, to keep buying bonds and keep the US afloat.

Debt is America's Achilles heel in a fracturing world order
For decades, global investors have bought US government debt as a safe haven when things turn pear-shaped. But investor attitudes are changing, and America's financial domination is at stake.

Well, sadly looks like we'll be dumping Netflix very soon. I enjoy the Korean & Chinese content on this service but not putting money into anything Trump touches. Also, judging by his current performance he'll probably dump all the non USA content.

Trump buys $1m in Netflix and Warner Bros bonds days after saying he’ll ‘be involved’ in merger
Warner Bros is also being pursued by Paramount Skydance, helmed by David Ellison, son of president’s ally

This has got to be one of the most hilarious pieces of fake news! It's not even on the same continent or hemisphere as Venezuela!
False claims about a video of a military plane involving the US and Venezuela can't tell the difference between the Brisbane River and the Thames in London.

Just had the 2nd instance of Facebook restricting/deleting a friend's account for absolutely no reason. Somebody older who is associated with the Adelaide music scene (as was the other person). No bad behaviour, an older person who just posts a few pics of bands. 😡😡
