IMF chief applauds "bravery" of Trump tax cuts
Axios ^ | 10/28/19 | By Felix Salmon

Kristalina Georgieva, the new managing director of the International Monetary Fund, applauded the Trump administration's "bravery to use a tax reform to spur more growth" in an exclusive interview with "Axios on HBO."

Why it matters: Georgieva vowed that she would be able to persuade the U.S. to commit more money to the fund during the course of her five-year term. "I will get my quota increase," she said — in the face of reported U.S. opposition and a U.S. veto over any changes.

Georgieva comes to the IMF from the World Bank, where she was CEO and where she was a key part of the team that received a major capital increase from the U.S. The main Trump administration official in charge of those negotiations was David Malpass, who was then at Treasury and who now runs the World Bank. Georgieva describes him as a friend.

This could be a big-time suck-up exercise to get more US money into this fund but whatever, it's nicer than anything the hideous left and our scum media have ever said about the president's tax reforms.

Good post. I think more folks are recognizing it’s not wise to gratuitously insult and attack Donald Trump. Still, I strongly suspect that “sweet talk” will not influence President Trump to make decisions that are not in America’s interests.
