It sounds like a recipe for the double whammy of recession plus inflation.

Powell’s term ends a year from now and then Trump gets to appoint his successor. We’re going to get hyperinflation.

He was appointed by Trump in 2017.

He was effectively appointed by Steven Mnuchin in 2017: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/11/23/trump-is-reportedly-diss...

This go round Trump is liable to appoint someone from Fox Business.

Why do Americans want to break things anyway? The economy was doing fine, unemployment was low. What is the trigger that made half Americans go nuts? There does not seem to be a rational cause unlike 1860.
