Greetings, Investors! Is President Donald J. Trump (also the self-anointed "Acting President" of Venezuela, in case you missed that tidbit over the weekend) more like...
"Old Hickory," President Andrew Jackson,
OR
The Roman Emperor Nero?
As I discuss in my new episode of Your Money Today this evening, I've heard BOTH extremes from "partisans" depending on which form of T.D.S. the pundit in question has.
The issue being bloviated on, of course, is the unprecedented criminal investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell as well as Powell's likewise unprecedented and uncharacteristic response last night.
To listen in, CLICK HERE or on the below graphic.
Besides all the consequences ahead for markets and the economy of all this--and the interesting timing, as the Fed is fending off a new crisis in the markets--I explain (among other things) how "the math" actually supports Trump's seeming goal ...
... But how he is DOOMING his own objective (and the fiscal needs of reining in the runaway interest costs on the national debt, set to increase by ANOTHER half trillion or so in 2026) in his methods.
In fact, I repeat also herein: don't be shocked if Jerome Powell is STILL Fed Chairman after his term officially expires in May.
Stay tuned!
All the best,
Chris Temple
