BigRedBuster Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 He's basically guaranteeing the feds raise rates to prove they are independent from Trump. Link to comment

He admits the dollar hasn't gone up "all that much". But, The Feds have raised rates (I think) twice with two more hikes announced this year. LINK I actually find this part funny since Trump has so vocally condemned the Feds for raising rates after all the "hard work" he has put in. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is scary - Trump's main advisors - Fox and Friends - at the 2:50 mark - is pretty alarming. F&F joke about the president watching and if he is - for him to blink the light off and on at the WH. So what does he do - he blinks his bedroom ( I assume) light off and on. Thus he perfectly gives away his location (imagine a terrorist having that knowledge with the right kind of weapon) during the F&F news time. Plus it proves that he is tied at the hip to F&F. 1 Link to comment
