The market hasn't slowed the economy, #Trump has. However, it may not encourage the Federal Reserve. If mass tariffs on autos and electronics is unveiled, it will not just slow the US economy, but it will cause inflation which will force the Federal Reserve to raise rates despite a slower economy. Trump is doing himself no favors if he wants the Federal Reserve to stop the rate hike. This scenario can point to higher rates and a slowing economy with inflation. Sadly, a businessman should know this.
This is partly #Trump tariffs. It will get a lot worse. Trump wants to put a tariff on IPhones. He will drag what he sees as traitor companies down. He has nihilistic tendencies. He is in Lala land, a fantasy place.
Great article. Truth is, #Trump does live in the past. He wants three models of cars on the road, #Ford, #GM, and #Dodge. He wants the world weakened while the USA is strong, like after ww2. He wants cheap oil prices to spur Americans to buy holiday gifts, like before #OPEC. He wants men to be superior to women. He toys with Fascism like it somehow worked when it didn't. He wants China and Europe to submit like in the old days. Many older people live in the past, in their glory days. But it isn't healthy, mentally, nor is it good for the nation.
Why would the US occupy a central place in the China/Japan fusion, Mark. I noticed you said some think the US matters. That may not include you. The fusion, militarily, of India, Pakistan, China and Russia is already unifying Asia. Add Japan to the mix and we will be on the outside looking in. #Trump#Trumpfail The most populated region in the world appears to be moving on without us.
@[Gary Anderson](user:4798), you have more patience than I. There will always be #Trump apologists who refuse to admit he can do no wrong. Even when Trump is on record as making an inappropriate comment, these people excuse it away or deny the statement was ever made. Save your breadth.
I agree pretty much with your assessment of #Trump. The caveat to this deal is if Canada gets flack from the US for making a free trade deal with China. Trump thinks he has corralled Canada, but the Canadians don't believe that is the case!
I want to make one correction, Moon. It should read: "Then in a downturn, with the r* too low, it becomes more difficult to use lower interest rates to boost the economy as we approach the zero lower bound."
Unfortunately I wrote high instead of low. Hopefully the context did not confuse too many readers. Raising rates causes the R* to drop. That can cause a problem if the recession comes as rates are being raised and the R* is too low.
Update: while #Trump signed a new #NAFTA agreement called #USMCA, it was a compromise, and really won't make POTUS happy in the long run. Perhaps he saw the need to strengthen his hand against China and Europe. Those may end up in compromise too, but with little change in the status of trade in the world. Or a real trade war will manifest itself.
Trump Blinked, The Fed Blinked And The Powell Put
#Trump blinked? He literally got concessions at the cost of his own self imposed tariffs. Which was the plan. Absurd

The Share Repurchase Bubble
Also, the real bubble is the #Trump Corporate Tax cut bubble. That is going to pop big time once the Dems get control again.
Trump Versus Powell: Who Is Right About Immigration?
Isn't saying all immigrants are hard workers as much a stereotype as all the negative things that #Trump says?

A First Look At The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement On Trade
#Trump's base really thought he accomplished something, because, apparently, they are only capable of reading headlines. Good for Canada!
