BREAKING: Asked where he wants interest rates a year from now, Trump said:
“1% — maybe even lower.”
He also said the next Fed Chair should consult with him on interest rates.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of monetary policy — and a direct threat to economic stability.

No, no, no. I was a legal sect’y for years. A “scrivener’s error” is more like transposing an apostrophe, not forgetting to file a relevant document. Had I done that, I doubt I’d have a job, and if my att’y forgot to include it, not would they. The utter careless disregard for the law is astounding.
