      One of the stated goals of Project 2025 is dismantling the Federal Reserve, they won’t need to bother with “accidents” if they just shut the whole thing down.

      I think funniest trump bit was saying something akin to: “yeah, they got very important job, they get heads or tails, and say we raising or lowering interest rates, very smart guys these ones”

      Didn’t he lower them in 2018-2019 anyway, when stock market caught a sneeze? (Under trump pressure)
