Trump's Plans to Deregulate Wall Street Spur Anxiety Amid Legal Woes

As former President Donald Trump eyes a return to the Oval Office, he has proposed substantial cuts to Wall Street regulations, a move that coincides with his ongoing legal entanglements over alleged hush money payments. This proposal arises while a gag order looms over him, stemming from these charges. During his previous term, Trump had already initiated the rollback of critical safeguards established post the 2008 financial meltdown, such as the Dodd-Frank Act. His current suggestions, advocated by his allies, aim even higher, proposing further easing of regulations to aid private company funding and to modify rules around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing.Michael Faulkender, a former Treasury official under Trump, mentioned that the intention is to alleviate Wall Street from "burdensome regulations." Proposed changes include ending bank stress tests, dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and potentially redefining many civil servants as political appointees, thus facilitating their replacement.Experts, however, are sounding alarms that such extensive deregulation could destabilize the United States' financial regulatory framework and potentially lead to a recurrence of the conditions that precipitated the 2008 crisis. Barney Frank, a former congressman and co-author of the Dodd-Frank Act, has criticized the plan as a reneging on Trump’s commitments to protect ordinary people from Wall Street excesses.The unfolding scenario places Trump's deregulatory ambitions against the backdrop of his criminal case in New York, related to payments made to an adult film star during the 2016 campaign. With a judge imposing a gag order, Trump’s legal battles could overshadow his campaign promises. These developments are setting the stage for a heated debate over financial regulation in the upcoming 2024 election, as experts and consumer advocates express apprehensions about the implications of loosening financial controls amidst Trump's personal legal challenges.

ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT

.    Photo by max . ISRAEL STOPS MORE THAN 99% OF IRANIAN DRONE, MISSILE ASSAULT: Of contemporary military might, Israel has intercepted 99% of the 300 drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles launched by Iran during a massive attack. The historic assault that included projectiles from Iran, as well as Iraq and Yemen, caused minimal harm and few casualties, owing to Israel’s multi-layered air defense systems. The Israeli navy said Iran launched around 170 drones, 30 cruise missile, and missiles with a range over 100 in a wave of attack and over 120 ballistic missiles towards Israel during the early hours of April 14. But the country’s space defense system, including the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 2 and 3 defense systems, short-circuited virtually all of the incoming threats. The United States also played a role in the defense, taking down dozens of the Iranian projectiles using its Aegis missile systems on navy warships and land-based aircraft. President Biden ...
