    I agree it is awful, but I’m not surprised he does it. The issue is many in business, or some centrists create narratives to themselves that yeah, he does some inappropriate stuff but on balance they like what he does. But he keeps pushing the limit and most of those people keep rationalizing it away, until at some point they’ve lost control.

    I think now many are factoring to do whatever they have to survive over the next 3.5 years, just put up with it, look the other way, kiss his ass, pay him off, etc. The problem is after 4 years of just tattering the system, how recoverable is it. If a Republican wins I doubt they are going to rush to put things back the way they were.

    Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, if there are no costs to messing with the money, firing Powell, manipulating economic information, American capitalism is cooked. We'll just live in a heavily militarized gangster state with nukes and lots of religious people with no concept of reality, so SuperRussia, basically.

    You’re 100% correct. But this one was so brazen, so reckless and dangerous, even by his standards, that it stunned me.
