What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Minsky Moment]

Trump's economic team -Mnuchin, Cohn, Ross- are among the least incompetent of his senior personnel selections (although hardly reassuring from a help the working man, drain the swamp perspective).  The macro picture should be OK unless either (1) foreign econ policy goes well beyond incremental movement and sabre rattling and takes down the entire postwar economic order, or (2) a full-blown twitassault on the Fed.

I'm optimistic on #1 but less so on 2.

I don't see how nasty Twitter comments about Yellin would affect the economy.

He will not confine himself with twitter.

I guess I misunderstood twitassault.

Alex Jones is predicting the International Global Elite will crash the economy to make Trump look bad.

Of course he is. Alex Jones: paranoid about everything and everybody except who he probably should be paranoid about. A fine product of Austin, Texas. You are welcome America.

Though to be fair he was just a hilariously idiotic crank on public access TV over here. It is all the rest of your fuckers who made him a star. America cannot take a joke.

Florida Panthers' majority owner, Vinny Viola, named to be Secretary of the Army.

Finally someone sensible in charge.

I thought we were going to win all the time, not go 0.500 all the time.

Well, he has a point.  Trump certainly qualifies as an "elite" and if we get in a trade war with Mexico and China that would probably damage the economy.

Secretary of the Army is in charge of nothing.

nor is Viola a sensible person.

Also, that's the joke.

I had trouble with the accent.

Trump's transition team played up Viola's business background in announcing his selection Monday, saying his "business experience makes him well positioned to help guide a Fortune 10-sized company, the U.S. Army, to accomplish its broad mission in the most innovative and efficient way possible."

If the fucking mess that the Florida Panthers are with the Gallant firing, Tom Rowe & Dale Tallon bouncing around is any indication of Viola's organization skills then the Army is in trouble.

Trump already got sick of winning, with the election.
