“President Trump is toeing an economic red line that few before him have dared even consider crossing,” Axios reports, fretting so much that they immediately jump to a bullet point with “Why it matters: The mere possibility that Trump could erode the Federal Reserve’s independence has been enough to unnerve investors and tank the stock market.” Ooooh they big scared.
The article is just one medium-long doomscroll about the fat fuck’s mental breakdown being inflicted on the economy. Trump was cute and silly for Axios last year with the deejaying bit but now he’s so frightening for the money business oh noes now they have to take him super seriously…
There’s an old antisemitic “Christ killer” trope about how the Jews weren’t bothered by Jesus’s religious message but the second he went apeshit and trashed all the money changers’ tables in the Temple he was a dead man. And yeah this is comparing Trump to Jesus technically but the trope maps pretty neatly onto the motives of Axios and the financial industry shitbags they serve. They didn’t give a fuck when Trump was sending innocent men to a gulag in El Salvador or revoking foreign students’ visas or firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers for zero actual reason but the second he started fucking with their money they turned on him, the twats.
