'Is There Anything Trump Won't Destroy' [View all]

Unravelling': Trump accused of 'breathtaking sabotage' against the U.S. economy - Rawstory

Donald Trump has been working at breakneck speed to eliminate federal programs, prompting an opinion columnist with The Washington Post to ponder, "Is there anything Trump won't destroy?"

Columnist Dana Milbank used the metaphor of Trump wielding an ax to chop down not only a 200-year-old magnolia tree at the White House, but the very Constitution on which the United States was founded.

On Friday, CNN's Harry Enten claimed that Donald Trump's economic policies have damaged the U.S. economy in "historically unprecedented" ways. Indeed, even Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent proved unable to answer the most standard questions about Trump's economic end game, and was reportedly "looking for an exit door" after just two months on the job.

"At the rate things are unraveling," Milbank wrote, "there may be nothing left for Trump to preside over during his third term."
