Kernen to Russ Vought: "At the same time the administration is arguing how great the economy is, that's usually not a time where you need interest rate cuts."

When you lose Joe Kernen…

Exactly, you can’t brag about a “booming economy” while begging the Fed for rate cuts like it’s a recession. Pick a lane. You’re either strong or struggling, but not both at once. They don’t know what they’re doing.

He's setting up to blame Jerome if/when the economy tanks.

Trump wants to blame the fed for his economic hot mess. There is no cure for Trump’s incompetence other than getting rid of Trump.

|NEWS + ECONOMY | The economy is booming! Also them:- “We urgently need rate cuts.” You can’t claim a strong engine and beg for fuel subsidies at the same time.

The economy is doing brilliantly under Trump. Yet it can be even more brilliant if Too Late cuts rates and then tenders his resignation.

If the economy’s strong, rates should reflect that. Mixed signals only weaken public trust.

trump and team are destroying America

😳 What

Trump’s admin claims economic invincibility while begging for crisis tools—rate cuts are defibrillators for flatlining economies, not victory laps. This cognitive dissonance isn’t leadership; it’s economic malpractice disguised as bravado. July’s GDP contraction and Fed paralysis expose the tariff-fueled chaos: growth halved to 1.7% as Trump’s trade wars upend forecasts. The same admin touting “historic prosperity” now forces Powell to stall monetary policy, trapped between inflationary tariffs and growth collapse. Their cure? More self-inflicted wounds—taxing Americans $80B annually through tariffs to fund this economic arson. When your economic “miracle” needs constant life support, maybe the patient is terminal.
