Well, you have to blame somebody. The amazing economy is all Trump. A weaker economy is the media's fault . Or the Fed's. Always take all of the credit for the good and blame somebody else for the bad.



Couple of questions:

1) If tariffs have no effect on the US economy and are "good", why halt putting into effect the latest round of tariffs "so it doesn't ruin Christmas"?

2) If the economy is so amazing and strong, why do you need lower interest rates? That is usually done to boost a bad economy- not boost a solid one.





Except farmers disagree.

‘Trump is ruining our markets’: Struggling farmers are losing a huge customer to the trade war — China

“It’s really, really getting bad out here,” Bob Kuylen, a farmer of 35 years in North Dakota, told CNBC. “There’s no incentive to keep farming, except that I’ve invested everything I have in farming, and it’s hard to walk away.”
