    That’s because their donors tell them who to fight, and it’s almost never the people to their right because Republicans don’t threaten the donors’ wealth.

      They do now. Attempting to influence the federal reserve board isn’t good for the rich (or anyone else).

      He’s trying to overheat the economy to get a gold star before it collapses.

        I argue that the rich and powerful want another crash or collapse, otherwise why are the very rich, big corporations, and other institutions not doing anything to fight back against Trump’s policies?

        The answer is obvious to me: fascism isn’t a threat to capitalism and there are historical parallels to support my assertion: https://youtu.be/7f_V9zZNzTY

        Every single time there are economic problems, the rich get bailed out (or barely feel a hit) and are enabled to take more and more power, wealth, and influence while the 99% toil.

        The rich’s game of capitalism only “collapses” if they want it to.
