Larry Summers is 'disappointed' corporations won't call out Trump

"President Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy during his second term, taking aim at Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Fed Governor Lisa Cook.

Former US Treasury Secretary for the Clinton administration, Larry Summers, discusses the implications of Trump pressuring what is supposed to be independent actors and the "profound threat" this poses to the US economy in the long term."

I'm disappointed that the wolves will not lay down with the lambs. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Sometimes I wonder how many of the über privileged in business and government really have drunk their own kool aid.
