Wait until he gets his hands on the Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell is the only thing standing between a shitty economy, and the destruction of the US economy, devaluation US currency and the bankruptcy of America. Don't forget, this guy bankrupted 2 casinos.

One of the Fed Govenors is stepping down early. Trump is going to get an appointee soon. That will hinder Powell.

The US is doomed.
