    What’s so strange about it? Trump is trying to fire the chairman of the fed, a non political organization to install a sycophant that will lower rates and send prices through the roof so rich people’s line can go up. He is intentionally trying to lower the value of the dollar. If he succeeds, we’re fucked.
