BLOOMBERGJuly 21st, 2018
President Donald Trump looks to be lining up Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to be the fall guy if the presidents trade and tax policies dont 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 dont go according to his plan, said Mark Spindel, founder and chief investment officer of Potomac River Capital LLC in Washington.
