  3. This isn’t complicated:

    1. #Trump buys $100M+ in bonds after becoming president.

    2. He jolts markets with tariffs. (stocks drop, demand for bonds spikes, driving up the value of his bonds)

    3. He bullies #Powell to cut rates. (falling rates drive bonds value even higher)

    It’s. Always. A. Grift.

    Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump
Could somebody please inform Jerome "Too Late" Powell that he is hurting the Housing Industry, very badly? People can't get a Mortgage because of him. There is no Inflation, and every sign is pointing to a major Rate Cut. "Too Late" is a disaster!

    If only Democratic leaders had any history to draw from to know what that means and usually precedes, they might have cause to sound the alarm.
