The Fed did it to try and make President Trump look bad...That’s it in a nutshell...

Hating Trump isn’t enough of a reason?

Just another example of the size, length, breadth and depth of the cabal out to ruin the Trump Presidency!

Make no mistake about it, the Ruling Elite Establishment HATES Donald J. Trump, and no trick, no method, no evil deed is off the table to destroy the man and his family and his administration!

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, INDEED!

I have said it before, and I’ll continue to say it:

If you voted Democrat in 2016 or 2018, you voted AGAINST America!

POTUS needs our support!

Please send him an email at https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/.

Let him know you have his back!

If the fed wants to continue screwing with President Trump he just might consider floating the idea of an audit of the fed, wonder if that might get their attention.

Yet, while wage growth has certainly been solid, it’s merely been keeping up with the growth of the overall economy,

...

Wages also have to catch up with the inflation that’s already happened.

The Fed has been suppressing wages for decades.

Everything is political and every move by the deep state is anti Trump and anti American worker.

The cost of credit is too high. People with very good credit ratings getting solicitations with APRs of 22% for purchases? BS. And these are from the majors.

The Fed is only responsible to the member banks, not to the public, not to government, which means it can and often does work counter to the best interests of the country.

There’s no reason why the federal government should have the authority to set rates that banks pay or charge for the use of money. That is a controlled economy, which the USA, being a “free market” country, doesn’t have.

Does Trump (Or anyone else) have $4.5 trillion of his/their own cash to help the Federal Reserve unwind their balance sheet?

If not, quit bitching about this because the more we spend and consume from Uncle Sugar, the more the Feds have to intervene. We are in No Man's land because of the amount the Feds had to purchase in the open market. It's easy to buy on credit, working on a plan to pay "it" off is another story.

In case you did not notice, the Feds went on a buying spree late 2008 until around 2016 or so. That, in addition to all the US securities they already held.

This is a cluster ---- of monumental proportion since the money it will take to unwind the balance sheet is dry.

Live by debt and dance to the tune of the central bank since they are the ones keeping the government afloat so your Social Security checks/Medicare with the "compound interest" lifted from the current taxpayers/debt policies can keep coming in.

This is part of the seep swamp to take down DJT. Get his popularity down to try to make impeachment stick. The criminals have run the government and money system so long they think they can so anything and have the lack or ethics to do anything. Agenda 21 wants to kill off 85% of the population so anything goes.

Can the Federal Reserve be part of the anti-Trump movement?? From someone outside the box, it looks like Wall Street is being manipulated by anti-Trumpers. Possible???

Looking through a lot of your previous posts, I have come to the conclusion that you are a liberal troll...

Weren’t the tax cuts supposed to bring us 5-6% growth? Can that type of growth really be stymied by a 25bps move by the Fed?
