President Donald Trump on Friday again ripped into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, comparing him to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

He asks who is America's "bigger enemy," Powell or Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Trump tweeted his attack, which at first misspelled the central bank chief's name, not long after the text of Powell's speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was made public. As he uses tariffs to try to force China to change what he calls unfair trade practices, Trump has repeatedly said he does not blame Xi, a communist dictator who has consolidated power in China.U.S. economic growth as fears about a potential recession grow.

He also wrote that "it is incredible [Fed officials] can 'speak' without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly." He did not give any indication about what action he was suggesting.

gtconway3d Public Enemy 1 Donald Trump. IMPEACH NOW.

I really wish I could say China, but the price of a load of bread was 50 cents in 1990.

Neither. The biggest threat to this country lives( occasionally) in the White House

Why not have Poverty, Hate, Hunger, Racism and Conflict as your enemy Sir.

It’s you donald hand down. You’re way stupid!!!!!!!!

Neither.

I think the world has to put a stop on all this threat from the US and kick them out from our soil.... using Taiwan against China UK against EU Arab against Iraq South Korea against North Korea Just to name a few

I think Xi is taller than Powell.

gtconway3d The Chinese don’t have a President

Disgusting

🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Another embarrassing tweet from Captain Crazy.

Trump knows he is going down and for sure he greatest wish is to take all of us with him.

Does he really deserve to be the president? What kind of question is that coming from the president of a super power country?

Trump

gtconway3d Trump is the bigger enemy. Period.

Impeach him before it's too late.

Coming from the bankruptcy king. Not a good one to trust with money or policies. He needs to go back to business school and learn the basics of modern day not the 60s.

Another unbelievable statement from Potus.

Trump is our biggest threat

YOU ARE!!! YOU ARE! YOU ARE! YOU ARE! YOU ARE!

, Who are our bigger allies?

You certainly do not act, or speak like you put America first. Please be quiet, sit down, apply self tanner, play alone in tanning bed. Just please, be quiet for a while.

The fake actor acting as a president is more dangerous than anything in the world. And if he's re-elected and cut my social security I will personally Sue

Rantings from a madman.

He forgot to include himself, which is the obvious choice.

gtconway3d Trump is a moron for even making a comparison between Powell and Xi.

Our biggest enemy is TRUMP

My biggest enemy is Donald Trump

gtconway3d The answer is YOU! You are our enemy and our greatest danger

You Trump of course are our biggest enemy. RussianAsset PutinsPuppet

The biggest enemy is Trump. You sir are our public enemy number uno

gtconway3d Wow, Is he making a statement or a sentence of thought? Enemy? How so? Be more specific. Is Potus the biggest enemy of the nation and the world? How so, by demonstrating his lack of mental fortitude. By stating UNPATRIOTIC comments & thoughts. By the constant lying 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏾.

helpful 🤔

Vlad the Puutin!

DJT IS!!!

Who hired Powell?

The media made Trump. Now it’s time for the media to step up and make sure he’s defeated in 2020! None of this ButHerEmails BS that you were all so fond of a couple of years back. DoYourJob VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

gtconway3d Diaper baby crying that the independent Fed is not giving him full control of the country’s credit card to get him re-elected. unfit

25thAmendmentNow ImpeachNow

Trump is insane and needs to be removed and institutionalized.

We all know that answer and it is neither of the two he named! The Answer is: realDonaldTrump

Clearly Powell, but not for the reasons Trump is saying. And Trump is worse than both.

gtconway3d The USAs biggest enemy at the moment is the president. He is a real and immediate threat to the running of the nation.

gtconway3d Melting down before our eyes DerangedDonald

Also trump: 'I hire the best people' Narrator: In fact trump hired the Federal Chairman, who was neither an enemy nor a frenemy.

Trump yourself is the common enemy for the world.

I love President Trump and how hard he is working for America and All Americans. However, some things he says makes me scratch my head. Yes, we need lower interest rates, but FED Chair Powell is not an enemy. Trump appointed him and should not attack him or the FED

You hear that President BarackObama, HillaryClinton, all news media...it's Powell and Xi week in DoughBoyDonnie's world. Enjoy your vacay!

Omg

gtconway3d Howling mad

gtconway3d Chairman Powell: please do NOT respond to this- we need you to stay the course as I cannot imagine who Trump would replace you with but almost certainly it would not be pretty. So hang in there

gtconway3d Unhinged!

gtconway3d realdonaldtrump wins that glorious award as the Biggest Enemy. There has never been a bigger one. Pun intended.

Go back to where you came from, please.

gtconway3d I don't know what more people need to decide that this man is crazy and unfit to be president...

Can I vote on this?

gtconway3d Why does the MSM treat everything this guy says as a debate or discuss what he says as if it is normal. This is not normal. He is unstable and insane. If he worked for any other company who would be fired by now.

gtconway3d I have the answer/ you realDonaldTrump

NoraBrup Nothing surprises me anymore😩

gtconway3d And I thought the G7 might be boring.

gtconway3d Actually realDonaldTrump our biggest enemy is YOU, followed by Putin and Kim Jong-Un (a tie). You are unhinged and dangerous. BTW, my cat, Mittens, has a better chance of being 'The Chosen One' than you do.

gtconway3d donald trump, PUTIN'S PUPPET, is the biggest (literally & figuratively) threat to America & Democracy. donaldBiggestThreatToUSA

gtconway3d I can't believe the financial markets moved on this nonsense...

gtconway3d It wasn't an available choice but I'm going to go with Trump as my answer.

Trump is the greatest enemy of America.

gtconway3d I guess he’ll get his wish and interest rates will tank because he just sank the economy.

gtconway3d Fed chairman Powell was appointed by you! He’s one of trumps guys!

gtconway3d 25thAmendmentNow

gtconway3d No bigger enemy of the United States than Donald Trump.

gtconway3d ok...what fox commentator is responsible for this?

gtconway3d If those who elected him do not see his treason, they are fools.

gtconway3d This guy needs a PR crisis manager if he wants to be taken serious on the world stage. It is like a senior citizen unravel in real time. He needs a LifeAlert that shocks him every time he thinks something stupid so he forgets and does not tweet it into the world.

gtconway3d Such a joy to watch the stable genius playing 3D chess in real time... Cretin.

gtconway3d We sure have a lot of enemies! The fake news media is the enemy of the People, Fed chair and Chinese President are vying for bigger enemy. I think Russia and N Korea are still, at least, adversaries. Iran. Quite a list! Who are our friends?

gtconway3d China just won. What a boob.

gtconway3d I can't wait until the wealthy GOP supporters start to see their money disappear in stock wealth, what their reaction will be...? Should be fun... 🙄

gtconway3d I ask - who's the bigger 'enemy' of the U.S. - Panda Express or P. F. Chang's

That isn't even a question. Powell is doing his job! I hope he continues to stay strong.

gtconway3d Of who?

gtconway3d Next he’ll say China in cahoots with Hilary

Trump is a crooked treason weasel.

gtconway3d Why is he perspiring so much, especially lately.

gtconway3d DENMARK

gtconway3d To paraphrase President Clinton, it depends on what your definition of 'our' is.

gtconway3d Neither ,.. I think it`s Scooby Doo or possibly Mr Burns, or maybe that bloke from Mexico, whose name escapes me !!! or anyone you happen to mention that sounds just as feckin crazy as Trump id FFS !!

gtconway3d Wow, just wow.

gtconway3d You are

gtconway3d Let's be fair. realDonaldTrump misspelled Powell as Powel. He then corrected it. Have to keep the record straight.

gtconway3d He spelled 'Powel' wrong....

gtconway3d I know! I know! TRUMP!

Once again Trump displays his lack of fundamental knowledge about the FED. This is laughable!

gtconway3d Biggest enemy POTUS /realDonaldTrump ? Answer: neither! You may be it seems to me and many others. ?

gtconway3d Trick question, the answer is realDonaldTrump

gtconway3d I loathe Nazi analogies, but this reminds me of the movie “Downfall,” when Hitler is moving nonexistent troop formations around on a map of Berlin. Q

gtconway3d Look at the psychopath in chief

gtconway3d 3rd optionTrump, you are our biggest enemy

gtconway3d Fox News

gtconway3d realDonaldTrump is our greatest enemy!

gtconway3d Freekin' Nutter.

gtconway3d That. Is. Treason.

gtconway3d Option three. YOU are our biggEST enemy.

gtconway3d For loving America so much he sure does side with a lot of foreign leaders over his fellow countrymen. What a grifter.

gtconway3d No other president would ever have asked a question like that.

SpiroAgnewGhost FruitLoopInChief

gtconway3d

gtconway3d It's trump. You need not ask again. Trump is the biggest enemy.

gtconway3d He’s a dangerous lunatic 25thAmendment

You just crushed the entire market.

I think that the biggest enemy of our country is YOU, Donald Dump!!

The biggest enemy is LyinTrump. Certainly not the Fed, which is trying to ameliorate the problems caused by tariffs.

You are! Don the Dictator! More and more and more people on this planet hate you (now) every MINUTE!!

No bottom

The man clearly hates America.

Our biggest enemy is TRUMP!

realDonaldTrump is f’ing crazy!

INSANITY!!!! LOCK HIM UP!!! ETTD MoscowMitch

After shorting S and P no doubt.

Why everyday needs enemy? Does Trump feel too boring?

“enemy”: regrettable word choice, sir. If possible, think carefully before tweeting, please.

Answer: Donald Trump

I love laughing at all your so called experts that are telling their clients there’s going to be a trade deal. It’s laughable. They care about getting their commission, Trump cares about Americans getting raped by China.

🙄

To answer Trump's question - Trump himself is the biggest enemy to our country.

Unreal!!

Yet another distraction from the distractor in chief; weren’t we just talking about tangible legislative improvements to minimize mass shootings?

🍊🤡 biggest enemy of US.

MELTDOWN!! Trump is unhinged! Guess he's gonna turn the G7 into a shit show! G7 - 1

realDonaldTrump you have no business being anywhere near the oval office, you incompetent, dangerous fool

TRUMP

OMG!! The man is a total idiot!!🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Xi holds Trump’s election in the palm of his hand. Trump continues a losing Trade War & each move Xi makes further assists with putting the US into a recession. Xi is Leader for life & he will make sure Trump remains until next November.

Not Powell, not Xi ...... Trump. Vote Trump Out 2020!!!

Tell king leader to look in the damn mirror. It is his damn TARIFFS that are the problem

Way to endanger the head of the federal reserve and impugn the integrity of the federal reserve. This abomination in the White House has got go Biden’s campaign slogan should be. BIDEN 2020 I’M NOT CRAZY

AISB I thought it’d be Powell’s turn today.

YOU... AINCE Both ARW Mindful of Theo Business Deals.

Trumps are killing the Hispanics so I would say its you.

This man is fighting everyone for his nation , funny thing is his own citizens are not supporting him. Thrs only one thing stopping china from world dominance and thts trump !

And the GOP politicians, or shall we call them Trump Party politicians, silence. These politicians have lost any right to criticize a future DEM administration in addition to losing any moral ground. This includes the GOP U.S. senators that essentially are a bunch of thieves.

The person twitting + MoscowMitch + stephenmiller obergruppenfurer Miller

And he is right

Look in the mirror and the enemy will be identified open your eyes🤡👹🔥

Its final that both are enemies !

He didn’t provide a third option.

lisataz Trump is our greatest enemy.

YOU created THIS! Demographics are written all over China being a superpower like we are. A desperate skirmish propelled out of your protectionist and fascist policies puts OUR future at risk! No need for any of this! TPP decision exact opposite of what we should have done.

Donald Trump is our biggest enemy

wait! xi is both best friend forever and an enemy?

He’s panicking.

Pretty scary right.

Ridiculous question from a Ridiculous person...

Try and explain this one marcorubio

Enemy of Trump's Trade War? It makes sense why China isn't on the same page, on board with the idea. As for the federal reserve, that is more complex (not black & white).

hahahahahahaha

POTUS is disrespectful to everyone but wants everyone to show him respect... FuckTrump & his unstable mental conditions 🙃

J Powell

The Fed. & Chairman Powell are independent. He won’t react like Ivanka does.

Will Rs wake up and remove this traitorous madman? Every Republican Senator and Representative is complicit in Trump’s treasonous conduct.

CNBC is owned by NBC Universal. This company put out a movie showing showing how to hunt and kill conservatives. You only care what CNBC says if you hate Conservatives and the President.

Neither. Trump is the enemy.

He conveniently forgot about himself, like always.

More of the same unpatriotic guff from the leader.......yet again and again and etc etc etc.

The whole dnc

Look in the mirror. Sure you have a great relationship with Xi

Our biggest enemy is you, sir, the president of the United States is a danger to every citizen.

Unbelievable!

Unbelievable!! 🤦🏾‍♂️

SenSchumer, SpeakerPelosi and all DNC shouldn't let this tweet go unanswered; this is treasonous behavior by our president. Calling out an American trying to do his best for our country is a tweet to far.

Ridiculous claim !

SaraEisen Yes Sara this is going to cause a TOTAL collapse of the financial markets. Dummy.

It’s yourself, Mr. President!

Fed raised interest rates: Obama 8 years - 2x Trump 2 years - 7x

Satan!

Completely panicking

WTF is wrong with that man ?!

Trump is our biggest worst most disgusting enemy!

Him

Well, you appointed one of them, Mr. Best People.
