https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-05/yields-dollar-slide-trump-calls-qe4 Trump's being recklessly greedy.... willing to throw all of us under the bus just so that he can look good for 2020 election. As for Kudlow... well, we've come to expect this kind of horse shit from him!
I blame Paul Ryan. For being the Man Who Knows The Budget Best he sure did fuck it all up. Can't blame Trump for congress' addiction to spending.
Maybe he doesn't want a 2nd term... maybe he just wants a sky-high market so he can exit and claim, "look how great the market and America did while I was President". And when the piper comes to be paid for his mess, he'll be long gone. It will be the next guy's problem.
I was reading a tweet from Michael Krieger (I cannot post the tweet here because my firewall blocks out Twitter) but it made a very good point: "The fact Trump is calling for more QE from the Fed, a literal handout to the wealthiest people on earth, is an absolute disgrace and the opposite of everything he ran on." Yep.
or maybe, he is just an idiot surrounded by idiot advisors making him doing and saying idiotic shit. he is the asshole version of Peter Sellers character in the" Being There".
The smart play is to primary him w/a moderate. The dems are hell bent on ousting all of those. I mean he's already welshed on the wall, the borderx2, obamacare, China, etc... Let's be honest, the true winner here is Turtle Mitch who's made all of Trump's wins happen.
