heh...
I had intended this thread to cover topics of importance to the global economic house of cards. Certainly what is happening politically in the USA could have an impact on such things, but I really don't have the sense that Trump theater is going to cause any market earthquakes or lead to any changes in "the plan" that IMF/G20/etc. appear to be working on. Trump hasn't as yet made any appointments or changes to the Fed, Treasury or other departments of import that would signal any fundamental change in policy and I don't think he is going to (whether he survives the current troubles or not - too many ex-Goldman Sachs peeps in his inner circle).
If Trump were to eventually get impeached, I think most peeps here in the USA would see that a sign that there is going to be more stability going forward. Trump has really been stepping on his own dick lately. This business about sharing classified info with Russian diplomats in the White House has really turned sentiment of folks who were rather agnostic about politics/Trump from what I see.
What has been significant about the Trump theater IMO is the shift in attention and focus from news sites. So much effort and attention on it and it seems like news about other important things aren't getting much notice any more.
For example, last I had read, DB was mathematically dead. Italy was the new Greece and going to force Germany/EU's hand on Euro sovereign debt policy. Greece itself was again in a love triangle with the troika. etc. etc. Haven't seen much news/discussion on any of those topics in a good while.
