Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s last day was Saturday, Friday was her last workday. Here is her exit interview, it’s a nice read.

And it could leave Trump with regret about jettisoning a Fed chair whom Wall Street came to love. “For the past four years, Yellen was the fairy godmother of the bull market,” said Yardeni. “And now that she’s gone, maybe we don’t get the fairy dust anymore.”

“Set himself up”?, Good luck with that theory, I wonder if Trump in reflecting on all of his self praise has ever considered that the last guy that was perfect was crucified🤔

I think he’s suggesting that Trump’s comments make it sound as if expects the public to treat him as if he were god-like. There’s only one other person in history who people perceived that way and he ended up dying on a cross. (@Ron - please correct me if I’m wrong).

Trump’s next Twitter: " IT WAS OBAMA’s FAULT"

Now… Let me get this right- Democrats are treasonous for ‘not clapping’ - but Trump and his minions can collude with Russians. Different set of values in US than here in Canada!

I got a reply to my “Hitler” comment the other day - and then, low-and-behold, what is this? Illinois 3rd Congressional - Republicans are letting. Nazi run - UNOPPOSED!!!
At hurt Jones is his name. You gotta listen to this guy!

If you’re going long, these are only a suggestion; CAFD and PEGI, needless to say under the present regime they may be in for a rough ride.
Oh and thanks for explaining the other. I can get sideways…
