I strongly question whether DJT “read” anything in the Wall Street Journal. :dubious: He has proven that he doesn’t read. Unless they have a Classic Comics edition now just for him. ---

> [@](#): > > I hope the people over at the Fed will read today’s Wall Street Journal Editorial before they make yet another mistake. Also, don’t let the market become any more illiquid than it already is. Stop with the 50 B’s. Feel the market, don’t just go by meaningless numbers. Good luck! So he’s asking the Fed to just go by intuition instead of solid research. He doesn’t understand it’s not the Fed’s job to make money. Their job is to control economic hemorrhage as much as possible. Clinton had a Republican fed chief under him, and he let him do his job. That was the last time we had a balanced budget. ---

Then there is the general obliviousness inherent in a POTUS broadcasting the message, “Hey Fed, didja read the paper this morning? That should guide your national policy decision!” :smack: ---

Shamelessly stolen: When nobody was looking, the Fed stole 50 Bs. They stole fifty Bs. That’s as many as five tens. And that’s terrible. ---
