Just called the chairman of the FED a enemy of the US. The guy is seriously unhinged...

Well that's what Trump wants, to have them build it and everything they make in the US, which will increase prices massively
Yeah but if they are £1000 a piece no ones going to buy them. Trump needs to realise that they are competing with Sony that is based in Asia so can build at cheaper prices anyway.

Well lots of companies have already started shifting manufacturing to Taiwan to avoid the trade war tariffs, but that could pose a problem in itself given the relations between Taiwan and China and if China decides to take it back....

Everything on my screen is on a downward trend. :lol:
Is this the bit where all the rich people have exhausted their tax breaks and made all the money they can from boosting the markets, are at maximum liquidity so they rank the economy and loot the feck out of it when nobody else has credit?

Serious question here... I know Trump is being a moron as usual but is the Federal Reserve really our friend to begin with?

The Fed is a separate entity from the US Government. I don't think it would be an enemy of America or Americans seeing as it's primary interest is the currency of the United States and if it fecks that up it's a dead duck. They may not always be aligned to the government's wishes but enemy is a strong word and the current administration is abnormal.

I still just can't comprehend the man hasn't made so many enemies inside this country yet that there isn't a mass movement to make sure he doesn't get re-elected etc. The only explanation I can think of is that a lot of the foreign interests he does not attack have a much larger say in what he is "permitted" to do. I. E. The continuous attacking of US car manufacturers over many things including Ford s refusal to not comply with California s fuel efficiency and emission standards. I guess Saudi told Donnie to do whatever it takes to make sure we continue to be dependent on oil as long as they can possibly stretch it?

Another theory I guess is that Trump gutted oversight of regulations etc so much that while yes he s a moron, they re gonna milk that moron for all he s worth until the government starts doing its job again.

Another thing is I believe the possibility of a deal with China has been priced it. People have been thinking a deal will happen eventually. Only recently has shit hit the fan that this trade war has no end in sight.

I don't think friendship is really the problem. Investors depend on the integrity and independence of the Federal Reserve. Trump is shitting all over that.

The childish rants of Trump on Twitter ("US companies "should" look for new markets and ignore China STARTING TODAY-NOW!") are the most embarrassing-baffling thing to ever happen to the US Presidency since Nixon's "secret" tapes.

Good Heavens. I do not think even Putin can order Russian companies not to do business with the USA. This man is delusional and is the Congress and Senate sure that he has not lost his mind. The downside is I suppose most people do not want Pence as the President.

This is somewhat ironic because Nixon was the first US President to engage China positively.

I'm not his biggest fan and he had/has? flaws, but I'm surprised Michael Moore is not "fighting" Trump 24/7. I mean, he constantly roasted George W. Bush back in the '00s, but seems so quiet these days.
