/5 🧵 #USPol #USFed
Having Trump in charge of the US monetary system / central bank (and its federal branches) is a terrifying notion.
Take, for ex, what happened when Erdogan tried to politicize Turkey’s central bank.
And the #USA president already has exorbitant power to appoint the Fed Chair & Board (they must be Senate-approved, but #Trump threatens Republicans to approve them). 
~Turkey took control of its central bank like Trump wants to. It was a disaster~
