Nov. 18, 2019 Tweet - "At my meeting with Jay Powell this morning, I protested fact that our Fed Rate is set too high relative to the interest rates of other competitor countries.

Oct. 31, 2019 Tweet - "People are VERY disappointed in Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve. The Fed has called it wrong from the beginning, too fast, too slow. They even tightened in the beginning. Others are running circles around them and laughing all the way to the bank. Dollar & Rates are hurting..." Pres. Donald Trump
Oct. 1, 2019 Tweet - "As I predicted, Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve have allowed the Dollar to get so strong, especially relative to ALL other currencies, that our manufacturers are being negatively affected. Fed Rate too high. They are their own worst enemies, they don't have a clue. Pathetic!" Pres. Donald Trump
Sept. 12, 2019 Tweet - "European Central Bank, acting quickly, Cuts Rates 10 Basis Points. They are trying, and succeeding, in depreciating the Euro against the VERY strong Dollar, hurting U.S. exports.... And the Fed sits, and sits, and sits. They get paid to borrow money, while we are paying interest!" Pres. Donald Trump
Sept. 11, 2019 Tweet - "The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less, and we should then start to refinance our debt. INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN, while at the same time substantially lengthening the term. We have the great currency, power, and balance sheet....." Pres. Donald Trump
Sept. 6, 2019 Tweet - "I agree with @jimcramer, the Fed should lower rates. They were WAY too early to raise, and Way too late to cut - and big dose quantitative tightening didn't exactly help either. Where did I find this guy Jerome? Oh well, you can't win them all!" Pres. Donald Trump
Aug. 30, 2019 Tweet - "If the Fed would cut, we would have one of the biggest Stock Market increases in a long time.

Donald Trump
Aug. 27, 2019 Tweet - "The Federal Reserve loves watching our manufacturers struggle with their exports to the benefit of other parts of the world.

Aug. 23, 2019 Tweet - "As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can "speak" without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work "brilliantly" with both, and the U.S. will do great..." Pres. Donald Trump
Aug. 22, 2019 Tweet - "The Economy is doing really well. The Federal Reserve can easily make it Record Setting!

Donald Trump
Aug. 22, 2019 Tweet - "Germany sells 30 year bonds offering negative yields. Germany competes with the USA. Our Federal Reserve does not allow us to do what we must do.

Aug. 21, 2019 Tweet - "Doing great with China and other Trade Deals. The only problem we have is Jay Powell and the Fed. He's like a golfer who can't putt, has no touch.

Aug. 8, 2019 Tweet - "As your President, one would think that I would be thrilled with our very strong dollar. I am not!

Donald Trump
Aug. 7, 2019 Tweet - ""Three more Central Banks cut rates."
