    Last checked he doesn’t have that money. Am I missing something? Congress controls funding.

      Last I heard was that instead of selling the crypto they seize from illegal activities/arrests, they’re going to hold it in this reserve. So it’s not new spending, but it will be a reduction in income for the government.

      The article mentions and notes “reserve” vs “stockpile”, but my gut take is that he has no idea of the difference and just thought “reserve” sounded better in the moment.

        Yeah, I don’t know why we get these comments full of legalistic hope about congress for every thread about Trumps doings. He owns congress.
