IF Trump gains control of the FED, interest rates will be cut without regard to its effect on our economy leading to disastrous results, e.g. Argentina. M/W Anyone remember the #Stagflation of the 70s & 80s? Between #TrumpTariffs & Bad FED Policy… This could be worse!

Project 2025 has become an experiment in unitary control of the United States government by the Executive, with no oversight by Congress & with no timely review by the Courts allowed, Trump is able to create laws by Executive Orders unilaterally by HIS ROYAL FIAT!!! We are now governed by a monarch!
