The systemic financial risk at the heart of Trump Mk II

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : And any move to end state support for mortgages, by fully privatising Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, could also be a relative win for bigger banks.
55% : Elon Musk, the joint head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, is its incarnation-in-chief.
50% : That may be the moment Trump feels the need for some more mainstream Wall Street advice.
45% : The incoming president has not only embraced the system made famous by Andrew Jackson, the seventh US president, but has done so in a way that will create huge financial as well as political conflicts of interest.
43% : In the investment arena, Trump has picked Stephen Feinberg, co-founder and co-chief executive of Cerberus Capital Management, as his deputy secretary of defence -- opening up another potential conflict, given Cerberus's history of investing in defence businesses.
