Former President Trump stated: The recently released employment data is fantastic, breaking all expectations (except mine!), with an increase reaching two to three times the forecast, and you haven't seen the full picture yet!American employers added 162,000 jobs in August. Lower the interest rates, because the credit situation in the U.S. is much stronger than it was not long ago! A strong country means lower interest rates because its credit situation is better... it's that simple!We should have the lowest interest rates in the world, just like in the "good old days." If the U.S. does not agree to allow these countries to enjoy huge trade surpluses, and we can stop that immediately, then they should no longer be considered financial "elite" countries!

This is better than tariffs!The Federal Reserve Board, under the leadership of this outstanding new leader, must become wise, think from a different perspective, and act like patriots. High interest rates put the U.S. at an extremely unfair disadvantage, and I will never allow this to happen!
