And like a cornered animal, Donald Trump, instead of backing up and trying to calm down, instead he goes out and says, nope.
He's just going to add another tariff here and do another one there.
He's going to use other parts of the law to keep from making sure that the American people both get their money back and that they don't have to pay more money illegally in the future.
I mean, that's just where we are right now.
Donald Trump deciding that he, his ego, his pocketbook, and that of a handful of people around him is a lot more important than helping the American people.
Now he wants to appoint his man who's going to do exactly what he says at the Fed.
And that's a takeover.

Can you commit right here and now?
that Trump's Fed nominee, Kevin Warsh, will not be sued, will not be investigated by the Department of Justice if he doesn't cut interest rates exactly the way that Donald Trump wants?
I'm sorry, you can't say that he won't be sued if he doesn't drop interest rates?

Donald Trump has made clear he does not want an independent Fed.
He wants a Fed that acts like a sock puppet for him.
He has threatened to fire Jerome Powell.
