Trump's Davos speech marks the end of the United States leadership of the rules-based international order.
What gets me about Trump is that there are a whole lot of people who hear this speech and think this is great.
They either have no idea what is going on, or will benefit greatly from watching Trump destroy America's standing in the world.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.
We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”
And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

The idea that the GOP is going to challenge Trump and hold him accountable is never going to happen. There is no line he can cross where they will stand up to him.
Two GOP senators on the banking panel have publicly responded to what Trump is doing here, either to condemn it (Tillis) or to dispute that Powell is a criminal (Cramer).
I reached out to all the GOP members on the committee, including Scott, for their takes. Crickets.

Trump's attack on the Federal Reserve isn't just about Powell's defiance, it's to ensure that the next Chair does Trump's bidding at the risk of being investigated - or worse.
The markets must wake up to how off-the-rails this is. They can't just "bake-it-in" to expectations.

A criminal investigation of Jay Powell could test the limits of whether Trump can extend control over his party into a policy domain that matters deeply to his wealthy partisan allies, Jonathan Chait argues.
