Trump Lines Up Powell as Scapegoat If Tax and Trade Moves Sour

[turbinetree]

BLOOMBERGJuly 21st, 2018
President Donald Trump looks to be lining up Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to be the fall guy if the president’s trade and tax policies don’t succeed.

In a series of comments over the past two days that shook financial markets, Trump attacked the Fed for raising interest rates and for undercutting his efforts to slash the U.S. trade deficit.

“He is just setting up someone else to blame if things don’t go according to his plan,” said Mark Spindel, founder and chief investment officer of Potomac River Capital LLC in Washington.

1. He always has to have a fall guy because nothing is EVER his fault.

3. Yepper, spot on................he never takes responsibility for his actions

my mother and father always told me to be responsible and admit when you do something wrong, and they taught me the difference between right and wrong, that I passed down to my children......................this traitor has never been held accountable for his actions.................never.............

It shows how much of a chickens*** he really is....................he is what is called a deadbeat...............in my book

7. Personal responsibility for GOP - another person.

2. So does that mean The Asset is expecting his moron "policies" to go sour?

He's already trying to line up a scapegoat?

What does THAT tell you?

4. Yepper, spot on...................this train of playing the blame game is going to come to a head

this week..................or in the very near future......and the world economics will not tolerate it.........and when it crashes..........this dead beat will not take responsibilities for his actions.........................he never has and never will he is a chickens***t.

And cannot look at himself and in the mirror and take responsibility for his actions, he is failure and he doesn't care who gets in his way to failure......................he has no principles............


He is a traitor...........................it tell's me that he is not protecting or defending the country.............with the help from allies and there economies....................for 70 years ......................

5. That should read "..WHEN the president's trade and tax policies don't succeed."

There is no reason to believe the same failed Republican polices will work this time. They didn't work any time in the past.

6. I am not into click baiting....................but it would have been more forthright

with the word used in the verb format...............

But I do agree with what you are saying.......................this is going to be failed policy and some of these jerks will be collecting taxpayer tenure pay......................and they will blame social security and medicare as being the problem..................no it was tax cut........................'ayn rand" ryan is pushing for it now................in the clawback legislation.................

8. Powell is a con appointment with oligarch approval...

Higher interest rates benefit WHO?

[no_hypocrisy]

9. 1) Trump only went to Wharton for *two* years;

2) Trump only took business courses in real estate development;
3) I would even venture to opine that * knows more about economics (MBA, Yale) than Trump;
4) It's *never* Trump's fault, is it?

11. There is a word for someone

who doesn't take responsibility for their actions--buck-passer. Buck is supposed to stop with the president.

12. Yepper, spot on........................not with this "guy"..................he's a thief...........

13. Since Don's solution to financial woes has always been bankruptcy, he's got to find

someone to blame. He'd have better luck tagging that little weasel Wilbur Ross or the moneygrubber Mnuchin. The Fed guy still has some self respect . . . a dangerous thing in Trumpdom.

14. Three peas in pod.....................that don't need any more practice to be thief's

they are already thief's.....................and a bigger house to rob everyone................and then blame those they rob in that house................
