Trump is calling for the Fed to cut rates to a level that no economist on earth thinks is defensible. At one level, it's silly. At another, it's dangerous.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
