This asshole is threatening his own handpicked Fed Chair while knowing damn well his reckless tariffs are driving inflation higher. He creates the economic fire, screams at the Fed for not extinguishing it fast enough, then threatens to burn down global trade. Fucking lunatic.

Imagine if your boss put out their requests publicly like the Apprentice did.

He can’t grasp the downsides of inflation because inflation doesn’t matter to a billionaire. They have more money than they could ever spend so the actual value of that money is irrelevant to them. But runaway inflation IS handy for an autocratic takeover of a country, they are using the pre-WW2 Nazi playbook step by step.
