Just my opinion.....
but Trump has a pattern of suggesting horrible ideas and then waiting for the pushback from the people. I think this is one of those horrible ideas.
The big one I remember from his first term (the first year of it, IIRC) was red flag gun laws. At that time I groaned and thought that voting for him was just another vote for a so-called R who was selling me out. Now he is one of our strongest 2A Presidents ever.
I’m pretty confident that this is a similar case. Trump waits to hear the voices of the people. We need to be screaming and yelling about what a horrible idea this is.
Alternative hypothesis: I also believe that Trump is working to break the Fed. Would this be part of that scheme?
Hard to know what is really happening. We live in interesting times.
I pray you’re right. his base just needs to be loud and remind him that channeling FDR for anything is NOT for the betterment of our country...
