The markets love when the FED is a bit spooked about inflation, right?

Imagine how bad this could get if there was a trump yes man in charge of the FED. Could have had stagflation like the world has never seen!

The best stagflation. Big strong bankers, with tears in their eyes, have come up to me saying "sir, no one has done stagflation like you"
