Is it possible to find out if trump Inc. is investing in credit default swaps against the US?

I've wondered since the election if they weren't betting against us.

Remembering The Big Short, and wondering how anybody would know if they were.

Why the hell else are they peeling us away from our allies one at a time and doing seemingly everything they can to take us apart, i.e. the EPA under Pruitt?

Separate issue but can you imagine being in a NATO country bound by treaty to go to war with us, under this guy?

Anyway...how could CDU's be tracked, anybody?

Follow the money...

It’s all in the timing. What are the short opportunities in play and what are the time horizons for exercising the short?

natural resources to be bled for money. And with Scot Pruitt, that's exactly what is happening. The new rich and some of the old guard will milk us for all we have and they won't care because they will move to Monaco or some such place. We no longer have common values because our unions and the few ways we were united as a middle and lower class have been destroyed. So we are now fodder for the rich. And Trumpf is the natural heir to this order.

The only reason Romney was beaten is that he didn't attract those who hated like Trumpf did. Romney is of the same character only much classier about containing it. He sold off America exactly the same way.
