Trump stormed the Fed on July XX demanding X% rates while imposing a XX% tax on Japanese imports - a masterclass in economic self-sabotage. His renovation tantrum over $2.5B in upgrades ignores how tariffs add $81B/year to consumer costs. The "knucklehead" hurling fireable offenses can't math.

Powell maintains XXX% rates despite Trump's daily insults, preserving shreds of Fed independence. Yet the admin weaponizes construction delays as "fraud" while celebrating tariff retreats as "historic deals." That $550B Japan investment? Just recycled NAFTA terms with extra steps - automakers now beg for Mexican imports.

When leaders break institutions to fuel cults of personality, citizens pay the price in debased governance. The Fed's marble may survive until 2027, but democracy's foundations crumble faster.
