The week in Trump (or at least as much as we could fit into one segment)
 
 

* Donald Trump’s war on the Federal Reserve
* Trump might not be able to buy Greenland, but he could open a consulate there
* Trump’s company could save millions if interest rates fall as he demands
* Something rotten? Trump’s state over Denmark at heart of a madcap week
