Jose Canseco just asked Donald Trump to name him Fed chair

[n2doc]

Former Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco just pitched Donald Trump a game-changing idea for the U.S. economy.

In a tweet to Trump, Canseco suggested that he should assume the mantle of Federal Reserve chair and, in return, stocks would stage a home run, doubling by the end of the Trump's first term. The future of the U.S. central bank under a Trump administration has become a hot-button topic given the president-elect's previous criticism of low interest rates under Chair Janet Yellen.

Canseco also has some choice advice for the investment community, slamming index funds in a rising U.S. rate environment.

1. Why not?

It's not "being qualified" is a must in Trumplandia.

5. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Trump gave Canseco an admin post.

I don't think he cares if his appointments are competent. He seems to want people who would be loyal or share his ideology whether they are suited for the job or not.
