Watching a Trump Administration ramp up is like watching a bunch of drunk frat boys assemble a futon. They threw away the instructions. The base is warped. It's not properly supported, but they do have a lot of wing nuts.

That could be a delicate task in the incoming Trump administration, which is likely to put unprecedented political pressure on the central bank.
