Trump orders creation of US sovereign wealth fund, says it could buy TikTok

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ordering the creation of a sovereign wealth fund within the next year, saying it could potentially buy the short video app TikTok.

If created, the sovereign wealth fund could place the U.S. alongside numerous other countries, particularly in the Middle East and Asia, that have launched similar funds as a way to make direct investments with government dollars.

I know what you're thinking ... "wait, he can't do that!"

Well he couldn't back in the day when Republicans believed in the division of powers and limited government powers and such things, but now we have a king that can do whatever the fuck he wants.

The silence from the right is no doubt the same as if any Democratic president, or any other Republican president for that matter, would try to do something like this.

Not to worry, the US will purchase a trillion dollars worth of $Trump meme coins in exchange for our real money.

RIP? He is not taking our Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Frankly, not a bad idea for as long as Federal borrowing costs are lower than expected net ROI. Also, very good for existing stockholders if the US government starts to buy up say 1.5% of publicly listed stocks globally. It gives higher stock prices, all other things being equal.

The biggest problem I see is that bonds will be hard to buy because, well US treasury issues are always part of a large portfolio of these types. For good reason as a buffer against volativity

Do you hear that noise? That's the sound of a light bulb going off in my head.

Is there a place one can submit ideas to the DOGE team? :-)

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.

"The US is a cleptocracy, dont invest there" is indeed a powerful message.

Not that it matters to me. We have a Scrooge Mcduck thing going and kind of figure on losing 50% of the oil fund in one way or another.

Government is still running with a massive surplus and continues to transfer funds to oil fund, so it would have no bearing on the Norwegian economy anyway.

50% is incidentally Norwegian exposure in the US market. The rest is elsewhere.
