Citing the rate increases, Mr. Trump said, “How the hell do you compete with that? And Obama — remember this, it’s very important — Obama had zero interest,” the president said. Well... Odumbo should NOT have had zero interest rates... certainly not for a long as he did. The Fed is trying to fix that and prepare to have some ammo for the next downturn. Odumbo had the good fortune of entering office with the economy and markets at lows. Then the Fed pumped things up... and Odumbo took the credit. Truth be known, (1) if their is any credit to be had it's to the Fed's money pumping, and (2) Odumbo's policies were to STRANGLE the economy + all the other crappy things he did in his efforts to destroy America. Sadly, Trump is being a greedy little whiner. He wants zero rates so that the interest on our debt doesn't encumber his desire to "spend freely" on all things, especially defense.
I still think he is a greedy whiner. It's also true that Odumbo benefited greatly from his inherited conditions + the cooperation of the Fed. True, we can't count on the Leftist media to be truthful about anything these days. Trump's administration is not in competion with Odumbo's, though Trump seems to think so. (The US economy and markets did NOT "do well because of Odumbo"... they did so IN SPITE OF HIM.. + money pumping by the Fed.) Trump is trying to "right Odumbo's wrongs", among other things. Trump inherited a "lousy hand" (most of the "good" in the markets/economy already wrung out) while Odumbo inherited "4 Aces". Comparisons between the two are inappropriate, though Trump seems to "not get it".
One of the greatest achievements of The Trump Presidency is the exposition of the leftist media. He is now doing this with The Fed as well. Bravo!
Ditto that!! History may look back and say, "America was saved by Donald Trump". IMV, we at least "dodged a bullet", if only temporarily, by not electing Hellary.
You boys notice that you strongly disagree in large part, Gnome is right in ways here but he is bending over and spreading for Buy1andStop as he is lonely. Come on boys, learn something about communicating.
