Trump's Nero Decrees

There will be many of them in the next 3 and a half months. Breaking off stimulus was certainly not the last one. Trump's Fed Chair is begging for stimulus, and Trump prefers to let us burn.

When he lost the first round last year by a decisive 16%, he ordered the Central Bank to allow the peso to plummet from 45 to 63 in order to "teach Argentines how to vote."

Obviously, that exacerbated an already bad economy - but such was the spite he felt (per witnesses).

Cheeto's even worse. I shudder to think what might happen on Nov. 4th.

His vindictive nature is going to be lashing out with froth and pointy teeth, especially as long as the steroids keep him pumped up like that.

On the other hand, fate might decide his jig is up sooner than he plans.
