He was already battling senility, but now he’s been #MeToo’ed. He’s done.

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?

In this Bailout that was signed today. Has the Fed been taken over by the Treasury? Has Trump just nationalized the Private bank know as the FED and merged it into the treasury. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/feds-cur ... 52807.html I guess we will see.

A few questions: Why is Trump focusing on producing more ventilators rather than more tests and treatments (e.g., hydrochloroquine)?

And if the Treasury Department, at the time of settling up, were to simply say "Not this time. . ." Then what? I suspect that would just print more Federal Reserve Notes to cover their losses. Then without being tied to the Fed, they could print up all the money they wanted for themselves...
