Some were sanguine that the Fed’s structure meant the Fed system could remain independent even if Trump gained control of the Board. But this excellent piece shows how far Trump and his allies could go. These scenarios would have been unthinkable a few months ago. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/b...

This is true in theory, but by definition if he succeeds in packing this board, that means future presidents will be able to pack their own boards. He'll ruin the Fed, but only as long as he's in charge. Considering his health that may not be long.
