If I was on the board of Tether or Capital Union I'd be a little scared by this. Trump squeezed Intel for 10%, bullied Tiktok into a sale, and is ordering extrajudicial killings not that far away from the Bahamas. What is to stop him saying: Tether is sketchily governed (seems true), is secretive and unaudited (seems true?), and holds far too much debt for the USA to be secure (could well be true) — "this is against our national security interests"? $135bn that Congress can't touch must be really tempting. What stops him just taking it? Especially since his sense of "national security interests" includes Canada making fun of the USA with clips of Reagan. (I'm not sure that it would even be the wrong thing to do in a more structured, legal way at least)
