The president’s assault on the independence of the Federal Reserve is only the latest of several reckless economic actions. trib.al/WjdyF9X One fact remains: the economy is in significantly worse shape than it was a year ago, thanks in large part to actions Trump himself has taken.

The much-debated "AI bubble" appears to be the only thing holding up the economy (and holding off the Trump recession). I suspect it'll soon break (I have no authority to make such a prediction), and we'll begin seeing "downward spiral" featuring in the headlines.
