With one day left until the FOMC begins its two-day monetary policy meeting – said to be the most important policy meeting since the days that immediately followed the financial crisis – President Trump once again slammed the Fed in a tweet, echoing a criticism that he has repeatedly used over the past few weeks.
Which is: That the Fed has failed to cut interest rates to get out ahead of central banks in Europe and China, despite the fact that stubbornly low inflation has left the Fed with every excuse to cut. The PBOC and the ECB will benefit from “pumping money into their systems, making it much easier for their manufacturers to sell product.”
The E.U. and China will further lower interest rates and pump money into their systems, making it much easier for their manufacturers to sell product. In the meantime, and with very low inflation, our Fed does nothing – and probably will do very little by comparison. Too bad!

Trump’s Fed-bashing apparently has one goal: To convince the central bank to authorize a 100 basis point rate cut, which would bring the Fed funds rate back between 1% and 1.5%.
Trump was very active on Twitter Monday morning, slamming Rev. Al Sharpton and Congressman Elijah Cummings after stirring up a controversy over the weekend with a tweet accusing Cummings’ 7th district of being a “disgusting rodent-infested mess.”
The president insisted that, under the “leadership” of Elijah Cummings, Baltimore has registered “the worst crime statistics in the Nation.”
Baltimore, under the leadership of Elijah Cummings, has the worst Crime Statistics in the Nation. 25 years of all talk, no action! So tired of listening to the same old Bull…Next, Reverend Al will show up to complain & protest. Nothing will get done for the people in need. Sad!

He also insisted that if Democrats continued to defend the radical-left “squad” and “King Elijah”, that it would be a “long road to 2020.”
If the Democrats are going to defend the Radical Left “Squad” and King Elijah’s Baltimore Fail, it will be a long road to 2020. The good news for the Dems is that they have the Fake News Media in their pocket!

Finally, Trump lobbed a few insults at one of his favorite targets, Rev. Al Sharpton. Sharpton and Trump were once close friends, and Sharpton “loved Trump!”, the president insisted. Trump said Sharpton would always invite Trump to his events as a “personal favor to me.”
Unfortunately, Sharpton is nothing more than a “conman”, Trump said.
I have known Al for 25 years. Went to fights with him & Don King, always got along well. He “loved Trump!” He would ask me for favors often. Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops! https://t.co/ZwPZa0FWfN

Al Sharpton would always ask me to go to his events. He would say, “it’s a personal favor to me.” Seldom, but sometimes, I would go. It was fine. He came to my office in T.T. during the presidential campaign to apologize for the way he was talking about me. Just a conman at work!

Trump isn’t the only individual to levy such an accusation against Sharpton.

Drumph,, the actor. Act,lie,cheat,steal,bs. His expertise.
Trump, the man. Outspoken, in-your-face, disrupter, expert at pushing buttons, knows more about human nature than you will ever give him credit for. Not at all a politician in the classical sense.
Yeah, all you got is dis Trump and you do that ad nauseum. Are you a troll? A bot? it’s real predictable that whenever a Trump article appears so do you with your ‘drumpf’ orange man bad bullshit. Boring.
Al Sharpton wears $4000 bespoke suits and has his own table for lunch at the Four Seasons in NYC…..I saw him holding court there on several occasions. A total fraud! Trump would be much more aware of this and kudos to him for having the balls to make this simple observation about the black civil rights cabal! Trump is just preparing the battlefield for 2020 by forcing the Dems to embrace the worst elements of their tribe……awesome and you have to admire the audacity.
How many millions in back taxes does Sharpton owe?
Wait…..what…Sharpton is a con man ????

annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum-was this about the time Trump and Sharpton were friends?
At about 6:30 in, is where Al takes a roll….
Al is also not his own man, he was busted for drugs and a few other felonies but agreed to be a rat and shill for the TPTB…..and that was 30 years ago….So yes he is a creature of the elite trundled out to agitate or be the voice for a certain point of view….full spectrum dominance.
The liberals progressives Democrats use Al to bully whites. I read recently that he owes close to 5 million dollars in back taxes. The IRS has never even try to collect those taxes according to that article. That should tell you all you need to know about that piece of shit. He is a tool used by the government to harass white people.
Cummings chaired a committee or two targeting Trump.
Trump noticed, and he exacts revenge on people who attack him. His tweets trigger the hypocrites, and their reactions play right into the tactic of focusing / drawing attention.
Coincidentally, right after a Q drop link about Mrs. Elijah Cummings involvement in some shady income accumulation.
What is lost in all the racism BS,
(narrative chg / deflect),
and factual reveals about Baltimore’s decay is, the hidden ways Cummings gathered corrupt money via his wife’s non-profit companies from Obama era Fed money set asides for inner shitty economic improvements.
Besides Cummings’, compare to similar ultra rich Left politicians, asking how a Congressman enters with 1 mil net worth, but years later, shows NW at $40 million+, with multiple homes, on a 200k annual salary?
Kickbacks from Fed money giveaways, disguised as book deals, donations through a spouse’s shell company.
Using foundations, to launder corrupt money.
Waters. Pelosi, Schiff, Clinton, Obama.
And certainly, there are some R’s guilty of that stench, too.
It’s pervasive.
Then Q posits:
Wouldn’t it make sense to pass a law, that every politician must be audited by independent 3rd party every 2 years, along with spouses, children, and other relatives?
You know, to create forced transparency, and stop the corrupt, pay-to-play?
Biden’s son is now a millionaire via a Ukrainian company he’s supposedly a board member of.
Long ago, a junior Rep put forth suggestions for cutting off wasteful Fed spending.
He was pulled aside by a senior member, and told: “Son, I’m sure you mean well. You’re in a good club now, but don’t fuck with my money.”
Efforts to stop payola and graft, might be nigh impossible, but it’s classic swamp draining. But because it’s so rampant, and just 1 small example of all that’s mucked up in DC, is it any wonder, why Drumpty is slower with results, than impatience demands, while getting attacked and stonewalled on all sides?
Search on “maya rookeymoore scandals” to learn about Elijah’s sweetie. Eg:
https://thedailyconspiracy.com/2019/06/11/elijah-cummings-and-wife-embroiled-in-scandal/
Someone once said every congressman should serve two terms – one in office, and one in jail.
Comown man. Al and Elijah just singin the coon version of Doo Dah to make a livin from da masa.
Not a Drumpf fan, but if he tweeted Al doesn’t like whites, by default acknowledging whites EXIST, color me impressed.
