Today Trump signed an executive order to create a Sovereign Wealth Fund. (SWF) .

I have more study to do but I had always assumed that nations that have surpluses due to export revenue create them . The idea is to take those funds and invest them.


Countries with large debt have created them also for the purpose of attracting foreign investment .
Trump seems to like to play hardball with tariffs During the campaign he claimed a SWF could be partly financed with tariffs.

One thing I am certain of is what the Constitution says

Article 1 Section 8 clause 5
CONGRESS has the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof,
This is not a power granted to the President. At least I don't think so.

Musk says no to that .


But the number one fear is a government run investment system in the hands of the Democrats .


Here's a hint Trump; the government is supposed to be in the economy growth business. We already have sovereign wealth . It's called natural recourses. Buried in the ground it does us no good. tapping it creates all the wealth we need.

The most common response involved people breaking down how they believe the U.S. sovereign wealth fund would be exploited for personal gain by those in power:
