Trump wants zero interest rates

Trump calls Fed "boneheads", wants zero interest rates! This from the genius that bankrupted a casino. Sure, I want to take my money and put it in a bank and see it actually lose value due to inflation! Trump can't be satisfied ruining foreign policy, voting, confidence in the Presidency, etc. He has to ruin the international monetary system too! If the rich folks are actually running the country, now is the time to get rid of the real "bonehead"

He's also, in the past, seriously suggested that the government simply "print more money" to get rid of the deficit. Fiscal equivalent of nuking hurricanes.

And, as I recall, Trump called himself the "King of Debt."

Whether his own or the National Debt, I doubt he cares either way.

“Hello Mr. Banker, I want to borrow $10 million for a project that’s sure to fail.”

“Certainly, Mr. Trump. Here is a check for the $10 million we’ll never see again...and we’ve got 10 percent negative interest today, so here’s a check for another million as our gift to you.”

I swear, someone really needs to find Trump’s crack dealer and tell him it’s un-American to keep making his customers stupider.
