Landlords worry that tenants who are on the verge of being evicted will trash the house out of spite on the way out. That, in essence, is what Trump and his minions appear to be doing to the country right now. The virus is out of control, there is no leadership on the issue from the White House, and now Mnuchin is making it harder for the Fed to do anything to combat the recession for no obviously good reason.
Will Trump try to stick us with an unnecessary war as a parting gift, too? The possibility cannot be completely dismissed.
