“Sell America” or how the USA can become like Argentina

The pressure against US treasury bonds is merely a social and political world repulsion against the behavior of the actual USA presidency; Donald Trump, menacing to invade sovereign territories, insulting and humiliating world representatives, increasing or decreasing arbitrary import tariffs and repeatedly saying that all the world is in debt with the USA, when contradictory it’s the USA who has a debt of more than 35 Trillion with almost all the planet. Wealthy people bought American treasury bonds because America was the symbol of tolerance, development and somewhere to go and learn new things. Rich European people had a house or an apartment in the USA just to have a period of calm reflection overseas, putting millions of euros buying dollars in friendly American banks. Now these people can’t recognise anymore or understand what became of the USA. With a boarder patrol chief called “Bovino”, and the violent ICE transformed bucolic cities into open conflict areas, who wants to go to a place like that? Send your kids to study what? How to become selfish inhuman beings? People, countries and funds, will not sell all at once their US Treasure Bonds because first, it will be against their financial interests, but for sure the will not buy anymore in the future, and what they hold will be periodically sold. The USA economy, growing at 1.8% yearly, having 35 trillion in the hands of angry people, producing a Nominal GDP of approximately $32 trillion in 2026 and not being able to sell the same quantity of treasury debt as in past times created the same as Argentina, the default ghost breathing on their neck. What puts Argentina in a better place is that the debt they need to sell to survive is affordable, but what the United States needs and created in the last decades is almost impossible to achieve.
