Repeatedly, liberals have sounded the alarm about Trump, only to keep doing the things which fuel support for him. This is true not just in academia, but in government (see Biden's failure to control immigration) and other institutions.

Conflict with the President does not undermine the Fed's 'integrity'. It is directly foreseen in the strands of legislation limiting Presidential power. What other point would such limits have?

As in will Elon try to set-up DOGE in other countries? Probably if he's asked, but that will depend a lot on whether DOGE is judged to have been a success in the US (my prediction is that it will cut quite a bit of waste, but will also cut useful things that have to be subsequently reinstated).
