Utopia Talk / Politics / Trump: I couldn’t care less

President Trump on Thursday said he’s “not thrilled” the U.S. central bank under Fed Chairman Jerome H. Powell is continuing to raise interest rates, suggesting the Fed may be undercutting his efforts to grow the economy.

“I don’t like all of this work that we’re putting into the economy and then I see rates going up,” he said.

Presidents have long declined to comment on the Fed’s actions, out of respect for the independence of the institution, and to avoid any hint of political influence over the nation’s monetary supply. CNBC released details of the Trump interview in a story on its website Thursday.

“Now I’m just saying the same thing that I would have said as a private citizen,” Trump said, according to CNBC. “So somebody would say, ‘Oh, maybe you shouldn’t say that as president. I couldn’t care less what they say, because my views haven’t changed.”

Who appointed Jerome H. Powell?

Oh yeah ... it was Trump!

So he's implying that his own appointee is trying to undercut his efforts to grow the economy.

But he's a stable genius and only hires the best people.

And he's not crazy.

Trump abolishes the Fed, wins reelection, starts a world war that China and India manage to stay out of, maaaaaybe we drop below 15.

2018 is looking to finish at 23.

At least he used proper grammar on that phrase.

It's utterly common to hear "Could care less". Which of course means you do care to some degree.
