to help Obama and Hillary. He repeated it often that her stimulus needs to stop and they should raise interest rates.

The ultimate irony would be if they do raise rates faster than planned and it stops the epic stock market rally and wipes the smile off dipshit's smug face. He'd still blame Obama somehow.

The other irony is that dipshit's tax cuts are having effects on bond markets that he's not going to like. Treasury needs to sell more bonds to compensate for the loss in revenue.
