You mean "the gold of others in your hands?" ... Yes, that's the idea of "bring it home", so no one gets an advantage of except the owner.

You never know what the orange man will propose in the next hour.

But I'm with you. I wouldn't call it "advantage taking" though. I rather would call it a friendship based on "trust, reliance and opportunities" for all. Now, we see, it was wrong. The US can't be trusted anymore. It was an egoistic and toxic relationship - I'm happy it has an ending, now.

People are taking advantage of the US by asking the US to hold their gold?

Let me guess who you voted for.

*is now actively hostile toward her allies

*and inexplicably treats most of its enemies better than it treats its allies

* can’t be considered a valued friend and mutually beneficial ally anymore at all

If you're the largest debtor in the world, you clearly got taken advantage of by everyone.
