Trump itching to fire the fed

Very well said and very true. But there may be exceptions. And Trump may be one of them. Many of us are going to do worse specifically because of him! He's a chaos creator and a disaster for some. If you're a farmer or involved in a business affected by tariffs or heightened uncertainty in markets, or if you are an immigrant or even a green card holder then you understand what I am referring to. And long term harm of the Trump Presidency on things such as air and water quality may only be evident after Trump is gone. There are as yet unknown consequences of our abandoning Northern Syria to Turkey and Russia, and our delay of military assistance to the Ukraine facilitating further losses to Russian invasion in Northeast Ukraine. The consequences could potentially extend to future, lost lives of young Americans. And too, how long will it take to repair Trump's damage done to relations with our European Allies? These are all things that may be laid directly at Trumps feet.

True but I think you raise very specific narrow groups affected by a policy and not sure if it is big enough to swing an election pro or con. Like with respect to Allies, you would really need a leader of Europe to come out and say, "Our relationship with U.S. is not going to be the same while he is president" or something because both sides will simply claim relations are better. part of the game I guess.

But farmers, coal workers and other workers who believed the promise Trump was bringing their job back...yeah they got screwed

We must not forget the existencial threat Trump poses to our Democratic Republic by his choosing an AG that believes in the oddball 'Unitary Executive Theory'. And much worse, Trump was successful in elevating a jurist to the Supreme Court that also believes in the same Odd Ball Theory. There is every indication that's why Trump wanted Kavenaugh on the Court. Trump has announced his intention to ignore all subpoenas. So far all lower court decisions have gone against him. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump, however, our Democratic Republic is finished! (It is predicated on the President not being above the law.) Or, if the president defies the Supreme Court, we will be in an equally dire situation.*

I can't see the tweets, but I had read earlier this morning that Trump was pushing Powell on negative rate insanity. Total shit-for-brains.

What about Trump’s mortgage and loan obligations?
Not to mention Kushner Companies loans taken out since Jared has been in the White House? $300 odd to Citi, $800 to Berkadia and more to boot.
It’s not in the public domain whether these are variable or set but you have to wonder?

Of Course, Fox News Blames Bernie Sanders For Stock Market Crash
Uncertainty over the coronavirus caused the stock market to open sharply lower. Fox News hosted Charles Payne to blame Bernie's Nevada win. Of course.

I don't think it's necessarily that far off base, if Trump handles the outbreak poorly, which by most accounts so far he has and a lot of people die and the economy takes dump, it will be more likely that Bernie is elected. Trump is a buffoon who hates science, always wants to take money from the CDC / NIH etc etc this one might bite him in the ass. I certainly hope not and hope it's a nothing burger, but who knows.
