I didn’t insinuate anything. You’re being awfully combative when we’re both in agreement that his behavior is unacceptable. I also didn’t call you a “dumb fuck” so from my perspective you’re projecting. My major concern with your comment is that any selloff large enough to hurt the US also hurts ALL others holding US Treasury bonds so it’s an extreme move to do now. That’s it.
You didn’t actually say in your initial comment that you didn’t mean dumping all US bonds. You might have meant it but there was no nuance in your comment. Fundamentally I agree with you (though you seem to really be looking for a fight) but I also still maintain that there are other options like I’ve mentioned elsewhere in the thread. If you’re hellbent on going after US treasuries the other option (maybe more proportional) is for countries to stop reinvesting in them as they mature and make that known.
You called it a “trade bazooka” and now you’re back tracking saying you only meant a little bit when I explained why that move is maybe not the best move right now because it hurts many countries globally. You have also yet to acknowledge my point. Who’s not replying in good faith?
Ok. The trade bazooka is something else entirely. Look it up and learn something. I said sell some US bonds AND use the trade bazooka. Since you’re only after a fight I’m not going to indulge you any further. Have a nice day.

I said some US debt. Some is not all. I can see you’re not acting in good faith here.
