Who exactly says they like the Fed now?  Maybe I missed that in the thread?

 

 

Well I assume now that Trump is pissed a the Fed and Tibs posted and piece on that I would assume that he now thinks the Fed is good.  Because you know....anything Trump likes is bad and anything he hates is good.  That's how he rolls.

If gator were true to his usual idiotic form, he'd tell us that the Fed is now good because it's not part of the government because it doesn't answer to Trump.

Trump isn't getting much good economic news today: largest ever monthly deficit for February (though he is fond of having the largest and greatest); industrial activity down 3 months running; stocks falling; yield curve inverting.  Boy, is he going to be throwing a lot of blame around...

I don't know what to make of the "white racial superior" comment. I don't think he ever infers that. If he does I have missed it. I guess if he is interpreted as a US nationalist, by extension he is a white supremacist? I don't think he comes close to that and I could be totally off base I don't know. I just try to see through the smoke blown around. 

What I do know is this:

He hasn't got us into any more wars. Hasn't bombed 7 countries in the Mideast. If he hated the mussies so much wouldn't be all for bombing the shite out of them like Barry and Hillary were doing?

He has steered us away from war with the whacky NK muppet and defused the tensions with Russia. Cleary it was Hillary, Obama and the neocons were wishes to fight with these countries.

Pulled us out of overbearing treaties like the TPC and the Paris eco scam deals that gave unelected foreigners power over us. 

Trying to build a wall to protect us from 3rd world crime, disease, and more socialist mentality to boost reinforce the Democrat voting base. 

 

All good to me. 

 

 

 

I was just pointing out that fact. Not necessarily calling him a white supremacist just that he is a great example of someone who is morally, intellectually and competently inferior to many people, even while he scapegoats immigrants, paints muslims as violent terrorists and excuses Nazis. He is a good demagogue, though.

What do you think of his choice for Fed board? Stephen Moore?

My response to DR's posting of a twit about it in this thread, "It would be difficult for Trump to find a worse choice."

 

Don't take my word for it though, this from the conservative economist Greg Mankiw:

Memo to Senate: Just Say No

 
A couple of weeks ago, I gave a talk at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. I said that, although I am not a fan of President Trump, I have to give him credit for making good appointments to the Fed. I was thinking about people like Jay Powell, Rich Clarida, and Randy Quarles.

Then today the president nominates Stephen Moore to be a Fed governor. Steve is a perfectly amiable guy, but he does not have the intellectual gravitas for this important job. If you doubt it, read his latest book Trumponomics (or my review of it).

It is time for Senators to do their job. Mr. Moore should not be confirmed.

So is this you're way of saying you're a ***** liar?  Be a man and just admit you're either a liar or a misinformed *****stick who only reads headlines or what he's spoon fed by his leftist overlords.  Which is it?  Because it's one of the two.

“U.S. new-home groundbreakings fell in February by the most in eight months on a drop in single-family homes, suggesting buyers and builders remain wary despite higher wages and a drop in mortgage rates. Residential starts slumped 8.7 percent to a 1.16 million annualized rate, below estimates, after an upwardly revised gain the prior month, according to government figures Tuesday. Permits, a proxy for future construction, dropped 1.6 percent to a 1.3 million rate.”

AOC (The Boss) came out with an Executive Order forbidding the birth of any more babies for the next 50 years. This is considered a temporary order subject to the passage of The New Anti Copulation Deal designed to save the planet for native grasses. It is only natural that housing starts would plummet along with auto manufacturing and I-Phones. Metamucil and Depends stocks took a sharp upturn as Gerber and Pampers shitthebed.

The U.S. economy grew 2.2 percent in the final quarter of last year, the Commerce Department said Thursday, less than the 2.6 percent the government initially estimated and another sign the economy is slowing.

President Trump, however, has focused on how fast the economy grew all of last year. Trump has been touting 3.1 percent growth in 2018.

Officially, the Commerce Department said Thursday the economy grew 2.9 percent last year, slightly below Trump’s claim.

To make matters worse for the egomaniac president, his annual gross domestic product rates, 2.2 percent in 2017 and 2.9 percent last year, don’t beat President Barack Obama’s best results, 2.9 percent in 2015 and 2.6 percent in 2010.

So you have no response other than your typical nonsense. So I guess that's proof that you read what you were spoon fed and not exactly what happened.   Do you realize how pathetic that is?

Following along a message board conversation is hard I know.  But do your best.  So I'll make it easy for you.

 

When did Donald Trump, as you posted here recently for the whole world to see, excuse Nazis.   Aaaaaaand Go! n

Oh brother! He was NOT saying that white supremisists are good people! His point was that on that day in Charlottesville there were most likely good people caught up in the protests. Geez catch an f..g clue!

Nothing.  You're the one that brought it up you numbskull.  Regarding the highlighted?  That's not what you said.  The word you're looking for is EXCLUDING.
