We do make them on occasion."Jerome PowellThe U.S. stock market has soared since Trump's victory over Hilliary Clinton in 2016, with the S&P 500 up more than 40%. the broad market index touched a new all-time high on Tuesday as investor concern over the U.S.-China trade war eased.

Shut up trump, seriously, you have the same iq economically as an amoeba. Lowering rates and more QE will only set the stage for bubbles to form which will wreak havoc. TLDR: look, but don’t touch

Who appointed Powell? 😂😂😂

Here’s a question for a Congressman to ask the Fed Chair in his testimony this week that would deride the President’s Fed criticism: Please explain why the Fed and the vast majority of economists would consider it irresponsible to make big rate cuts in this economy.

It's about time we have a President that realizes that China was Screwing us into the ground. Wall Street should take that to the Bank! It's about Damn time.

Do you think he'll mention the staggering debt he has acrued. Largest debt ever, horribly high budget deficit. Most likely NOT.

This is the guy who declared bankruptcy on 3 casinos, dumps on the FED and can't find an Econmicpolicy that makes any sense. Why would anyone listen to this GARBAGEECONOMICS ?

When in the speech does Fat Donnie mention the record deficits he's running up to pay for all his greatness. He's leaving the tab for the next administration to clean up. Usual GOP move.
