Trump told Reuters he was "not thrilled" with Fed Chair Jerome Powell for raising rates. Asked whether the Fed should be more accommodating, he said "I should be given some help by the Fed." He said he would criticize the Fed if it continues to raise rates.

Comment by Sam Nelson on August 21, 2018 at 12:55pm: It's called a trick-back, Trump, says no, they say, yes, Trump says, I tired, they say, see, he doesn't work for us, the hike goes in and we are so sure old man Trump, really did, try his best.

Try this, if you raise the rate - you take your shet and get out of Dodge, end of story!

Let me tell you folks something, when old man Rothschild gets his UN Army coupled with Israel, this here United States Company 1871 (USC 1871) is toast anyway. After Russia, Germany, this here USC 1871 is next in line for a real serious whipping. Been sabotaging the military, stealing the funds, producing inferior military machines and products, setting the USC 1871 up for a licking the likes of which we cannot even imagine. Imagine your armies bullets made by your enemy and then you might get the picture.

All according to plan, we call it the end of the world, they call it the beginning of our world, our world and our's alone, they think. They, the Rothschild's and their filthy rich ilk, along with their chosen ones who will in the end get the job of caring for the Rothschild's and their rich kin-friends.

Think not, look at the black hair, black eyes, slobs, in Israel, they all have guns but they are little more than third world immigrants, their cities and land look like crap, the only real wealth is the Rothschild's, their Temples, aka Government Buildings, their gardens, they, the Rothschild's do live well.

You'd think all the wealth this District of Columbia - USC 1871, sends over there to Israel, the people should all have ten thousand square foot mansions, but no, they have light bulbs hanging down from a nail in the ceiling just like my mother and grandmother had in their, shack.

Fool's rush in where rich men never go, it is the smell of the place, the lack of plush, the hardness of reality, that keeps them away. The Rothschild's and their filthy rich kin-friends, have known a couple of centuries of plush, they don't plan on ever going back to the world we live in, not if they have to have every last one of us murdered, and, they will, stupid, as we are...Trump told Rothschild's man -NO, guess what, he didn't mean it, sir...
