Trump has gone Twitter crazy on the economy!

But as usual, making no sense at all! In one tweet, he says it's all the Feds fault, but than again in another tweet money pouring in from the China tariffs, and than we all winners! Pathetic, confused idiot!

..Spread is way too much as other countries say THANK YOU to clueless Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve. Germany, and many others, are playing the game! CRAZY INVERTED YIELD CURVE! We should easily be reaping big Rewards & Gains, but the Fed is holding us back. We will Win!

We are winning, big time, against China. Companies & jobs are fleeing. Prices to us have not gone up, and in some cases, have come down. China is not our problem, though Hong Kong is not helping. Our problem is with the Fed. Raised too much & too fast. Now too slow to cut....

The Great Charles Payne @cvpayne correctly stated that Fed Chair Jay Powell made TWO enormous mistakes. 1. When he said “mid cycle adjustment.” 2. We’re data dependent. “He did not do the right thing.” I agree (to put it mildly!). @Varneyco

“So far, you’ve had Tariffs imposed on 300 Billion Dollars worth of Chinese products, but you can’t tell me that it has hurt our economy...& it really hasn’t led to any kind of serious rise in prices at the consumer level.” @Varneyco @FoxBusiness And we are taking in $Billions!

“The Fed has got to do something! The Fed is the Central Bank of the United States, not the Central Bank of the World.” Mark Grant @Varneyco Correct! The Federal Reserve acted far too quickly, and now is very, very late. Too bad, so much to gain on the upside!

He just thinks he can manipulate markets and the fed to play his little churn and burn games to fatten his own bank account.

He has no understanding of how to create economic stability in the long run. He couldn't even keep his own companies from going under and we are letting this guy have control over the entire US economy?

Rump does what Putin tells him to do, like start or threaten to start a disastrous trade war.

of disintegrating decency, obliterating rule of law, shredding our reputation globally. No, he now has to bankrupt the economy and decimate what little $ citizens have been able to scrounge together while Republicans and fucking foreigners eviscerate the United States from within.

If not now, Democrats in Congress, there will be much less to try and save. Kick it up. Whatever it takes. OUT. NOW.

propping him up: the economy (house of cards...deficit; but Rs don't care and never have) and
appointing conservative judges to the fed bench.

In my wildest dreams all of his appointments are reversed when he is incarcerated for child rape and election theft!

he's in deep shit if the economy goes belly up. Notice how he'd cheered the market taking credit for the rise. Now? No accountability, as with everything else. Blame the Fed, discredit Powell, do anything to deflect.

The Fraud has out-frauded himself.
