President Trump complains that 'badly run' companies are blaming tariffs for their problems, refusing to acknowledge how his trade wars with China and Europe have roiled the economy.

President Trump said Friday that “badly run and weak companies” are blaming him, not their own “bad management,” for an economic slowdown and continued to attack the Federal Reserve, telegraphing his growing unease about the economy and strenuously trying to avoid any blame attached to his trade policies.. “Badly run and weak companies are smartly blaming these small Tariffs instead of themselves for bad management...

“There’s real frustration and some concern, obviously, about what could happen if this goes the wrong way,” said one senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “And there’s a sense that we have to message on this hard because the media is going to focus on any bit of bad news.”

Two of Trump’s tweets Friday suggested that he may be reconsidering an idea he seemed to rule out just days ago: indexing capital gains. He retweeted a tweet from the Club for Growth, a conservative group, which urged that. And he quoted a similarly encouraging tweet from Steve Forbes, asking: “An idea liked by many?”

The President does have a point.

US companies are run on a 90 Day cycle, with no Federal Gov help. Chinese companies are run on a 5 year cycle with much Central Gov help. Look at who is winning!

Yikes!

I blame a badly run administration that can’t attract many qualified people and the ones they do leave which leaves the kool aid crew

So he’s blaming the farmers ? Same farmers he bailed out with socialism? Same farmers that got their livelihoods taken and Russia picked up China’s quota? lol

He is a expert at poorly run companies.

Companies profiting from Chinese collectavist slave labor to be specific.

Very true. The badly run companies thought he was bluffing.

Ya’ll if there is one thing tRUmp is an expert on it is badly run companies.

And he would know about 'badly run companies', having run so many into bankruptcy.

Badly run companies result in multiple bankruptcies too, isn't that right Comrade Trump !

Amazing data this week. Durable Goods purchases hit a whopping 8.4% increase Q2. Consumer spending surges! Corporate earnings UP 2-3% Q2! Savings rate hits 8%

RuthBuddy1 Gosh I’m surprised he didn’t blame Obama, Hillary and the Democrats

Hello farmers... You hear this... Badly run farms are the problem...Hahaha

The left said if you can't pay a living wage then you are not a real business. Now they shill for Chinese oligarchs.

He is hypocrite with Americans. Some days later you will understand.

He should know about badly run companies. It defines his whole business model!

Trump does know something about 'badly run' companies considering he ran everyone of his into insolvency except those bailed out by father and oligarchs. A president that never takes responsibility is unstable and dangerous.

'Trump complains.' End headline. Fixed it for you.

Trump has flat out already lost his misguided 'easy to win' trade war. Now he's looking for someone to blame.

The buck never stops with 45. Sad weak baby man. ImpeachTrumpNow

Delusional as always.

Remind me of a successful company he has run?

OMG...he is stunningly stupid!😕

Surprise, man who bankrupted multiple times does not know how the world economy works

Sucks but he’s right.
