Since January 2022, our holdings have gone from $217 billion to $472 billion, including an increase of $150 billion since Trump became president last January. I also find it interesting that since Jan 2022, China has dropped their holdings from $1.034 trillion to $684 billion. It's almost like they know something is up and are getting out of Dodge.
