The Greatest Threat

To repeat the title: what does gentle reader consider the biggest threat from The Great and Powerful Odd^© sitting in power? There are a host of possibilities, naturally, after all, this is a madman.

Beyond the Revenge Tour, which will be extra-legal and likely reserved for the high flyers who defied him, I'll illustrate. Remember when he sat down with the 'official' map of Hurricane Dorian, and with his signatlure Superwide Sharpy added a blob to the end of the cone of uncertainty to put the storm into Georgia and Alabama? NOAA responded by saying that he was an idiot. Well... may be not so honestly.

Now that the Supremes have codified the Unified Executive assertion, NOAA will not do that again. NOAA will not ever mention global warming or hurricane intensity and such. What will happen is that no department will ever, ever release data that casts anything The Great and Powerful Odd^© does or says as false.

That goes, in particular, for all economic data. Employment will always be great. Inflation will always be low. Migrants will always be killing citizens. Interest rate will always need to be lower. You get the notion. It will happen. All those billionaires who patted themselves on the back for getting him back on the Throne, will be sailing blind through their seas of troubles, having no idea what the numbers really are.

He's asserted that he knows more about monetary policy, and should be allowed to meddle with interest rates

"I feel the president should have at least a say in there. I feel that strongly," Trump said at a press conference in August, referring to the Fed's interest rate decisions. "I made a lot of money. I was very successful. And I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve — or the chairman."

Of course, he made his money by scamming lenders from here to Timbuktu, bankrupting 6 of his 'companies' in the process. And, it's just a fact that the real estate business always wants interest rate lower than whale shit. To remind: The Great and Powerful Odd^© couldn't get into the BBA program at Wharton back when that program accepted any warm body. He slunk off to Fordham as a frosh. Then, his brother arranged to get him in the side door of Wharton for his last two years. And, no, there's not a shred of evidence that he graduated at the top of his class, not even cum laude. Grifters will grift.

It's a brave new world, grasshopper.
