    "The central bank has long abused its power in ways that benefit the financial sector at the expense of everyone else."

    [redacted] would like the Fed to abuse its power to benefit himself at the expense of everyone else. He does not 'almost' have a point, since none of the real problems of the Fed, as outlined in the article, are of his concern. He does not care about doing anything about those issues at all.

    The article is actually not about trump at all... rather it is a very clearly articulated case that the fed is completely subject to agency capture by the big banks and outlines a solution for solving this problem

    When Trump is "right" about anything, he is correct in the same sense as a stopped clock is right twice a day.

    Trump has an intellectual simplicity and purity to his thought: a single principle, so to speak: if it benefits his own magnificence Trump's for it, otherwise forgetaboutit.
