To understand why it’s stupid, ask yourself what would happen if Democrats get complete control again.
Trump Calls for Three Debates Against Harris, More Influence Over the Fed
The Wall Street Journal reports Trump Calls for Three Debates Against Harris, More Influence Over the Fed
Donald Trump called for three debates against Kamala Harris, said presidents should have influence over the Federal Reserve and conceded he might be losing support among Black women during a news conference meant to recapture the spotlight after his rival picked up momentum.
The former president and 2024 GOP nominee said he agreed to a Sept. 4 debate on Fox News, a Sept. 10 debate on ABC, and a third on NBC on Sept. 25. The ABC debate was previously agreed upon when President Biden was in the race. Trump had called into question whether he would face off on ABC with the vice president now at the top of the Democratic ticket.
“I hope she agrees to them,” Trump said during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday afternoon. “I think they will be very revealing.”
On the Fed, Trump asserted that he has better instincts than the central bank’s chairman and governors. “I feel that the president should have at least [a] say in there, yeah. I feel that strongly,” he said.
“I think that, in my case, I made a lot of money,” he added. “I was very successful and I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman.”
Off Track Message of the Day
The Fed is independent for a reason. It is to stop partisan nonsense.
I do not like the Fed and think we should end it, but only on the proviso the free market sets rates, not partisan hacks from either party.
One thing worse than an independent Fed is letting political parties control interest rates and money supply.
Trump is off in Fantasyland, again, instead of keeping on track. It’s brutal.
Trump Fires Arrows Missing the Target Badly
This morning I asked Trump Fires Arrows Missing the Target Badly, Will a Recession Save Him?
The best we can hope is Trump keeps his mouth closed enough so that his foot no longer fits in it.
Would that be enough and will Trump do it?
Heck, Trump could not even last a single day
But Trump has help. For example … How Progressive is Tim Walz, Kama Harris’ VP Running Mate?
We now have repetitive dueling mistakes.
I am sick of the whole damn thing. Am I the only one?
