I'm not an OT balling economy guy. But I figured some of you would be interested in it.

President Donald Trump has multiple reasons as to why he should take control of the Federal Reserve. He will do so both because he can and because his broader policies argue that he should do so. The president is anti-overregulating American industry. The Fed is a leader in pushing stringent regulation on the nation. By raising interest rates and stopping the growth in the money supply it stands in the way of further growth in the American economy.

In the second quarter of 2018, the growth in non-seasonally adjusted money supply (M2) has been zero. That’s right, the money supply did not grow at all. This is because the Fed is shrinking its balance sheet ultimately by $50 billion per month. In addition, the Fed has raised interest rates seven times since Q4 2015. Supposedly there are five more rate increases coming.
This is the tightest monetary policy since Paul Volcker headed the institution in the mid-1980s. It will be recalled his policies led to back-to-back recessions.

The Piper will have to be paid at some point. Can't dilly dilly print fiat money without the house of cards crashing one day.

The mega globalists like the Rothschilds will look to destroy our economy if Trump touches the Fed. This is a second term type of project. But, whenever he does this (if he does it), he better blitz them out of the blue. No half measures.

Rand got to Him!
I saw Rand doing an interview last night and he mentioned that he has a meeting with the President next week, to talk about some issues. He didn't mention the FED but he did say that it's unthinkable that someone like Brennen, Clapper, Rice, etc..still may have their top secret clearance. He wants that to change. I'm sure he'll talk about the FED as well since it's on the President's big brain.

The FED helped BO bigly; every freaking entity is political. Not saying rates should increase but it makes you wonder when you look back over the last decade.

He’s worried that a stronger dollar will increase imports. It’s so silly to be obsessed with the trade deficit. Nobody can explain why that matters. He just wants to reverse it because

“Central banks with intervention from the executive branch, such as Argentina, Brazil and some Asian and African countries, have done poorly in controlling inflation and hurt economic growth,” he said.
Central banks raise interest rates to prevent high inflation by keeping the economy from overheating.
The Fed has been inching up interest rates recently because the U.S. economy is doing better. Trump frequently boasts about the economic improvements, even exaggerating, as he did in the CNBC interview, that “it's maybe as good as it's ever been.”
In his Fed comments, Trump complained that the higher interest rates, which still are historically low, are pushing up the value of the dollar.
Foreign investors are attracted to countries that pay higher interest rates, spiking demand for the country’s currency. However, a stronger dollar makes U.S. goods more expensive overseas, hurting exports. At the same time, the Chinese currency has fallen, which makes its exports cheaper around the world.
Economists pointed out that part of the reason China’s currency has dropped recently is the trade war Trump has started with them.
He escalated that battle Friday by reiterating a threat he made this month to slap tariffs on all of the roughly $500 billion in Chinese goods the U.S. imports each year.

And yet he beat the most qualified candidate to ever run for president (Hillary). Well, at least that's how Kaptain Kenya described her.

Most protected president in every way, and was still a horrible failure.
