If Biden ran against him in 2016, Trump would've lost and F'ed back off to Mar A Lago never to be heard from again. I still think if you rerun that election again a day later OR without Comey looking for his 15 minutes Hillary wins.

By the end of that campaign, Trump was already well aware of the windfall that grift could bring him. He would've beat the drum on how the election was stolen from him and would've run again in 2020, 2024, etc. Not sure he'd win the nomination again, but I'm sure he would try.

True, you're probably right about that part. It would've basically played out almost exactly like it did after 2020 sans Jan 6th since it would've been Biden himself that would've certified the election so that horseshit plan would've been even less plausible even to those half-wits that stormed the capitol.
July 13, 20233 yr 10 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: My quibble with that is that the #1 holder of securities is the Fed. Demand even for US Securities has a limit. When we blow past that limit but still need money, the Fed buys them with a money supply it controls. Under prudent leadership this can work and balance reasonably well for We the People. Under less prudent leadership.... Well, the Fed being the largest holder of Treasuries currently is a function of QE that lasted for over a decade. It kept rates lower, but there is always natural demand away from the Fed but just at higher rates/lower prices. Yes, there is a point where we blow it all up. Nobody can know where that is. But if/when it happens, it will be insanely fast.

I mean, sure if I was entertaining, would I make sloppy joe's for my guests? No. But is it still absolutely amazing from a school cafeteria perspective? Yes. And, among the "quick and cheap" food category, I'd say it's top of the line.

Either way the fed becoming one of the primary purchasers of US securities under any circumstance seems like a bad sign. It gives permission to future policy makers to rely on it as a financial tool that the Fed is willing to deploy.

It was a combination of MBS and treasuries, and then they basically ran out of MBS to buy.
