Trump warns Wall Street his defeat would endanger market gains

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump delivered a stump speech aimed at Wall Street, touting his economic record to an audience of executives and economists while warning that a Democratic victory in 2020 would endanger stock market gains.

The speech before the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday was a collection of the president’s well-worn lines on the economy that he’s delivered in tweets, to reporters at the White House and at campaign events around the country.

Trump reiterated complaints about the Federal Reserve -- saying higher interest rates put the U.S. at a “competitive disadvantage” while offering little new clarity about trade negotiations with China, warning that the country faces massive new tariffs if a deal isn’t finalized soon.

Instead, the president said that the lower taxes, higher employment rates and market gains under his administration would disappear if he’s defeated.

3. "You can't make money when the market doesn't wobble like a crazy Teeter-Totter!"

4. He clearly meant engender market gains

He has a history of an arm's-length relationship with spelling, and it's pretty clear we will be much better off with his mis-Administration in the rearview, so that makes sense

Nuts. I wonder how close we came to him accidentally making the right statement by mangling "endanger" into "engender"?
