“Fed should cut Rates by 3 Points. Very Low Inflation. One Trillion Dollars a year would be saved!!!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim that the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates by 3 percentage points because of “very low inflation,” and that doing so would save the United States $1 trillion annually, is not supported by current economic evidence. Recent data shows inflation is running at 2.7% year-over-year (above target and rising), a 3-point rate cut is highly unlikely…

“The United States of America has been ripped off on TRADE (and MILITARY!), by friend and foe, alike, for DECADES. It has come at a cost of TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, and it is just not sustainable any longer – And never was! Countries should sit back and say, Thank you for the many years long free ride, but we know you now have to do whats right for America.
