Trump inherited 3 extraordinary assets built up over decades:
-the reserve currency of the world
-the world's safest asset
-the deepest, best regulated capital markets.
Today: Stocks, the 10-year & the dollar are all down.
Bonds & dollar dropping suggests further foreign loss of confidence.

Elevators in the U.S. are regulated in such a way that they’ve become so huge and insanely expensive that even a 5-story, 4-unit Landmarks-approved perfect replica of a Park Slope brownstone is being built as a walk-up. The penthouse is going to rent for like $10,000/mo. www.nyc.gov/assets/lpc/d...
