This again? It's not going to happen.

He's best buds with the fascist-in-chief this time.

It won't but he still wants it bad enough to cling to it

I believe he wants it to a payment thing like PayPal or some shit. And I imagine that's what his lackies are doing in the Treasury. He will force the US to use it for all their payments. I wouldn't be surprised with like X bucks too.
