“In the early days of his second term, Donald Trump has made a big show of firing bureaucrats. He is rooting out anyone in the government with anything resembling ‘DEI’ in their title. He has removed senior Justice Department officials. He has fired the heads of the Coast Guard and the Transportation Safety Administration. The mass culling has been impulsive and perhaps foolhardy, considering the need to, you know, have someone running the government in order to make it do what you want. But improbably, one official everyone expected to be sacked is still standing as we near the end of week one of Trump II: Rohit Chopra, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). And this is freaking Wall Street out.” (01/24/25)
