"this is quite literally violating the express language of the 14th Amendment"

So now he's begun undermining US currency. To help his crypto? To help Russia?

I don't believe Trump says crap like this for no reason.

The question is, who's going to actually decide which obligations are we going to honor and which ones that we're not, Trump, the Treasury Secretary or Elon Musk and his band of 'teenage' zealots?

Oh, well then, no problem.
Other than the man being an idiot.
