An attempt by President Trump to remove the Fed Chair from office is predicted to cause a severe negative reaction in financial markets, leading to widespread reconsideration due to its harmful impact.
"the market might react very badly... before a court would even pick it up the market would react in such a way that everybody would reconsider whether you really wanted to go kind of the nuclear option here to the courts it you know it would probably uh be harmful for everybody involved"
