Trump continued his criticism on Fed this week. He said “They’re raising interest rates too fast because they think the economy is so good. But I think that they will get it pretty soon.” Earlier, he also said “the only problem our economy has is the Fed.”
On the economy and stock markets, he hailed that American companies are the “greatest in the world, and they’re doing really well.” And even after the stock market plunge, Trump said the companies have “record kinds of numbers. So I think it’s a tremendous opportunity to buy. Really a great opportunity to buy.”
On government shutdown, Trump warned that “it’s not going to reopen until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they’d like to call it. I’ll call it whatever they want, but it’s all the same thing. It’s a barrier from people pouring into the country, from drugs.”
