"Why is Donald Trump trying to break the will of the Federal Reserve? Because he wants to be able to set the nation’s interest rates according to his momentary political interests—a tectonic disruption of America’s financial system that could permanently destroy America’s reputation as an economic safe haven and cause immeasurable damage to the U.S. economy."

"The sight of soldiers on American streets—camouflage-clad, armed and patrolling the same avenues where tourists once lined up for food trucks—should never have become normal. Yet under Donald Trump’s leadership, Washington, DC was transformed from a civic capital into a stage set for authoritarian theater."
