President Trump slams Fed chief: 'Who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?' (Correction: Bigger, not biggest)

, slamming Jerome Powell as an “enemy” who could pose a bigger risk to the U.S. than Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“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,” Trump tweeted. “We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work ‘brilliantly’ with both, and the U.S. will do great.” Trump added: “My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?” referring to the Chinese leader. Trump misspelled Powell's name in an initial tweet, which he then deleted.

I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great...The tweets came after Powell, whom Trump picked for the role of Federal Reserve chairman, spoke at a highly anticipated conference in Wyoming, where he pledged to help maintain a growing economy while also saying that U.S.

Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue. I won’t let that happen! We don’t need China and, frankly, would be far....

realDonaldTrump is the problem. He’s gonna tank my investments,yours and the economy. This constant up and down roller coaster day after day is gonna make me pull everything.The Fed nor China will have nothing to do with that. I’m so over the volatility of this shit tweeting ass

Our highest enemy is you Trump.

Bigly!

Our biggest enemy? The Orange Menace, of course.

Stupid question

Every morning Trump awakens, to a new brain fart that will be on his agenda, declares a new public enemy number 1, tells another lie or two, embaresses the nation with his ignorance, watches 6 or 7 hours of TV, tweets, eats 3 Whoppers, fires someone.... wow he really is tireless.

the fed is not a government department and should not have authority over our currency.

Again Trump betrays America!!!!

TRUMP

Trump is the enemy. He is a traitor.

Today I look in the mirror and saw the enemy!

Very confused. I wasn't aware that China was an enemy of the USA. Surely both are members of the United Nations and the clue is in the name.

Actually Trump is the bigger enemy of the people. All the fed can do is prolong when the US falls into recession or depression. Trumps poorly executed trade wars and GOP taxation is at the core of the upcoming economic downturn.

Wasn’t he appointed by trump

How about we start with you tRump

Neither. Need to look at the WH for the problem.

Trump throwing a tantrum because China is sticking it to him. Nobody backing down from the bully in chief

Yet Putin just threatened us and not a WORD. ImpeachmentInquiryNow DAMN IT SpeakerPelosi

Trump on the economy...

How does Trump get away with manipulating the stock market by making announcements that cause sudden profound drops when the market is open? Does he have someone buying stock for him since he manipulates the market!

When everybody is your enemy... it's probably you.

America’s biggest enemy is realDonaldTrump

Stupid Trump failed at every thing in business, economics, history. A total con-man joke

Future meetings together are gonna be ... awkward.

i know the answer! Trump is our biggest enemy.
