Now he's blaming business

If the Fed would cut, we would have one of the biggest Stock Market increases in a long time. Badly run and weak companies are smartly blaming these small Tariffs instead of themselves for bad management...and who can really blame them for doing that? Excuses!

Anyone business that blames the tariffs for their lost revenue is lying and making excuses for their own weakness and bad management. But who can blame them when the Fed refuses to temporarily juice the economy for the President's personal political advantage?

Republicans in congress are all putting up with this, even encouraging it. They are either brainwashed or so thoroughly corrupt that they happily support a president who is even insulting the business community, their bedrock of support.

Sadly, I won't be surprised to learn that the business community is still on board with Trump too. There is something very sick happening on the right.
