The Fed kept interest rates near zero for all of Obama’s 8 years.

Then Trump gets elected and the Fed has raised around 5 times already.

Tell me the Fed doesn’t have a political agenda to crash the stock market, real estate market and the economy and Trump with them.

The fed did the same thing to Pappy Bush. As soon as Clinton was sworn in the fed slashed interest rates.

Three times.

I would point out that over the course of those three interest rate increases the Dow is up about 30%. The last increase in December was followed by about an additional 6% to 8% increase. How exactly did the Fed "crash the stock market, real estate market and the economy?"
