donald fraud's game for manipulating the economy:
it's pretty transparent.
first, manipulate the economy down with tax hikes (which republicans and the media keep calling tariffs)
this hurts the economy and puts pressure on the fed to lower interest rates going into the presidential election season.
after the economy has tanked enough and the fed has had enough time to feel the heat and cut rates at least a few times, then donald fraud will declare victory over china and mexico and remove all tariffs. this will goose the economy right before the election.
real lives are hurt by this kind of crap, but of course he doesn't care if it will help him get re-elected.
we have to beware and be prepared this. the economic signs point to recession, but between the fed and tariffs, he can control things to delay the inevitable, quite possibly until after the election.
