"You know what can’t be bullied, deceived, or manipulated? The bond market. The bond market does not believe the danger is past. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court, or Paul Weiss, or any other institution Trump has conquered, co-opted, or corrupted." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fina...

Bsky, I'm seeing a lot of people on my feed asking good questions like "why would Trump want to gut the FDIC?" and I am happy to answer this question now that I've given it some thought. There are two main reasons as I understand it. Source is me, a former (non-FDIC) bank examiner. 1/?
