As if the world of investing isn’t complex enough, then US investing could be getting more complex. A potential increase of dividend withholding tax from 15% to 35% for US dividends. This could get passed. So you either suck it up, go EX US, or if I am thinking correctly.. synthetic swap-based Etfs. Has anyone had any musings on this topic? 
Good luck to the US selling any treasuries if they invoke this. They’ll just have to find another way to fund that juicy deficit.

Yes I agree, it may/ may not go thru..but with Trump and his crooked lawyers I wouldn’t rule this out. It could be very serious.
