President Donald Trump delivered a stump speech aimed at Wall Street, touting his economic record to an audience of executives and economists while warning that a Democratic victory in 2020 would endanger stock market gains.
The speech before the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday was a collection of the presidents well-worn lines on the economy that hes delivered in tweets, to reporters at the White House and at campaign events around the country.
Trump reiterated complaints about the Federal Reserve -- saying higher interest rates put the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage while offering little new clarity about trade negotiations with China, warning that the country faces massive new tariffs if a deal isnt finalized soon.
Instead, the president said that the lower taxes, higher employment rates and market gains under his administration would disappear if hes defeated.

(2,150 posts)He has a history of an arm's-length relationship with spelling, and it's pretty clear we will be much better off with his mis-Administration in the rearview, so that makes sense
Nuts. I wonder how close we came to him accidentally making the right statement by mangling "endanger" into "engender"?
