Yellen: ‘Trump Tariff Plans Are Doing Immense Damage to Our Economy’
Breitbart ^ | 11 Apr 2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/12/2025 5:58:40 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that President Donald Trump’s tariffs are doing “immense damage to our economy.”

Yellen said, “This is the worst self-inflicted policy wound I’ve ever seen in my career inflicted on our economy. The Trump tariff plans are doing immense damage to our economy. You can see that in the stock market, in the impact of these tariffs are expected to have on American households. And we’re even beginning to see what looks like a flight away from dollar-based assets in the financial markets, which is a really scary development.”

Cooper said, “How long? I mean, the, the the damage to the reputation of the United States, to the confidence people have or had around the world toward the United States is reflected in the dollar and investments. How long does that something like that take to rebuild?”

Yellen is a stooge of the left. She did what the Biden team asked her to do. She knew Biden was impaired the whole time. She knew that Harris was wine gulping fool. And yet she took orders and said nothing. Just a little troll under her bridge. waiting for the masters orders.

Since September 2024, Wall St. “influencers” were warning people that “a correction” is near or “just around the corner.”

While inflation was here and not “just around the corner.”

What we have now, is a correction, plus interest rates a bit higher <— set by the market: putting something of a damper on purchasing power = driving inflation.

She was an academic like all the Obama people. No experience. Just schmoozing around Ivy League telling people theories along with the main goal getting people to hate the us

Janet, you ignorant slut!
“ Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen made “the biggest blunder in the history of the Treasury” when she did not secure long-term U.S. debt at low interest rates in 2021.

Yellen, who was appointed Treasury secretary in January 2021 and has served as chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018, “was issuing two years [of debt issued by the Treasury] at 15 basis points, when she could have issued 10 years at 70 basis points, or 30 years at 180 basis points.”

Hmm. How many hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars does that “mistake” turn out to cost us?

“””immense damage to our economy.”””

By our economy she means the Marxist economy of the Democrat party.

If people like Yellen say we’re headed in the wrong direction, we should keep going and relax.
