When Trump trolls dem politicians, I think, wow that's immature for a president, but not a crisis. When the president trolls the Fed chairman, I think, wow that's bad for the long-run solvency of our economy.

This is problematic because a president personally attacking a Fed chairman is a VERY BIG DEAL. Presidents have (though they should not) commented on Fed policy before, but leveling personal grievances publicly hasn't been seen since Nixon brutalized Burns in the early 70s. Then we had Stagflation.
