Donald Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, wants to kneecap the Federal Reserve. This should be a five-alarm fire for anyone who claims to care about inflation.The former president and his advisers keep finding new ways to outdo themselves on bad economic ideas. Should Trump be granted a second term, he plans to slash the labor supply by ratcheting down immigration (including legal, work-authorized immigration). He wants to devalue the dollar. He’d levy worldwide tariffs of 10 percent or higher, plus perhaps a 100 percent tariff on some Chinese goods, apparently failing to notice that the costs of his previous…
Former President Trump’s campaign called the Commission on Presidential Debate’s refusal to move up its debate schedule “unacceptable” Tuesday and suggested the 45th president could go around the body that’s sponsored all general election presidential debates for decades. “The Presidential Debate Commission’s schedule does not begin until after millions of Americans will have already cast their ballots.

CNN — Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who previously said that Donald Trump shouldn’t be near the Oval Office, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Friday that he would vote for the former president over President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. “I think that Biden is unfit for office,” Barr said on “The Source” in a wide-ranging interview. “I think Trump would do less damage than Biden, and I think all this stuff about a threat to democracy – I think the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement and the Biden administration.” Collins pressed Barr – who has…
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s claim to total immunity is a bridge too far for Senate Republicans, even some who are normally willing to say or do anything to show their support for the former president who tried to overthrow democracy.Trump’s attorney last week argued before the Supreme Court that the presumptive 2024 GOP nominee can’t be held criminally liable for anything he did as president without being first impeached and convicted by Congress. This “absolute” immunity, the lawyer said, applied to outrageous hypotheticals posed by the justices, including a president ordering a military coup, selling nuclear secrets or directing the…
