But, why is it "playing politics" if he does not?  Simply because it's against Trump's wishes?
Yup. If (insert person/foreign government/agency here) won't do as Trump tells them, it's "playing politics".

He isn't doing anything. The Fed is an independent entity and should not be subject to political pressures.

If you were really a Sowell fan, you'd probably say the Fed should not exist and be critical of a central bank ;)

Since the Fed is hypothetically accountable to Congress, I'm not sure how to avoid it being subject to political pressures.  May be more accurate to say it should not be subject to Executive branch political pressure. 

But like Medina said, it's nothing new.  I can't remember a prez in my lifetime that wasn't calling for the Fed to do somethin'or'nuther.

I don't know if it's the "best breakdown" of the tariffs, but it's certainly an alternative view to the histrionics occurring in most legacy/mainstream media outlets.

I did pretty well investing during the "ignore" phase above.

What are you on about?  What does Trump have to do with long COVID?  And he wasn't even in office when Russia invaded Ukraine.

No shit.

Just amazed at the "what about"ism.

You really aren't making any sense.  I'd say Trump broke your brain but I'm relatively sure it was already broken.

I'm not going to hold your hand on the path to "getting it."  Keep up the insults on the "no insults" thread, pal.
