Key highlights

There's a lot of misinformation about DOGE and the Treasury.

There are 2 Treasury officials, no tinkering.

DOGE has absolutely not had the power to change the system.

I won't allow DOGE to change the Treasury system.

No engagement at the IRS as yet on the part of DOGE.

Strong dollar policy completely intact under Trump.

China most unbalanced economy in the history of the world.

I am happy to see the trajectory of borrowing is dropping.

I don't see changes in issuance in the foreseeable future.

We aren't focused on whether fed going to cut or not.

With Trump's policies, 10-year yields are to naturally come down.

I see China eating some tariffs no matter the level.

The best for predictability is to make tax cuts permanent.

I have met with Powell and had a very constructive discussion.
