* "The courts are likely to stop him sacking Fed governors at will, but he will be able to nominate a pliant new Fed chair in 2026." "likely" and "pliant" are doing some heavy lifting.

* "Meanwhile, the president’s other policies [...]make it possible to think that foreign creditors’ rights could suffer." again, "possible" is not letting the souls of Strunk and White rest peacefully.

* There is not a single mention of the Yuan. They allude to cryptocurrency, but not the gorilla in the room.
