The problem is that he has credibility issues. Markets are reacting to actions not words (as it used to before)

It’s really bad, isn’t it?

Does anyone genuinely believe that anything that comes out of realDonaldTrump’s Mouth is informed, let alone true?

⚠️💰😏

Too bad nobody believes anything he says.

They are not the problem.

But all he does is lie so there's that.....

The people that run the fed aren’t elected yet have huge amount of control over our economy. Just trump toying with the idea of firing the chairman brought the markets down. Major flaw in our system and needs to be corrected. AuditTheFed abolishthefed

Trump voiced his 1,000% confidence in Mike Flynn before firing him, too.

The problem is that he’s a known liar. The financial markets can’t trust anything he says.

This was hilarious Obamas brilliant stock market destroyed by trump

The confidence of a life-long bullsh!t artist. Now that is comforting.

Former Dallas Fed President: Fed will focus on real economy, not markets'They will adjust, they will be flexible, they will be patient,' Fmr. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said he doesn't understand why the market is so nervous about Fed policy decisions. 'This is standard Federal Reserve rhetoric.' Trying to wreck Trump's Economic Rally How is it possible that Powell and the fed board talk so much while saying so little. They should just release an emoji once a year. 👍👎 It was the 233% increase in rates in 21 months with promises of more that was problematic! 🙄

Trump Won’t Try to Fire Fed Chairman Powell, Treasury Secretary SaysPresident Trump hasn’t suggested firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and doesn’t believe he has the authority to do so, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday. The problem is, all Republicans everywhere are pathological liars, so you can’t trust anything any of them say. If markets believe that Trump is looking to fire Powell, the markets will plunge another 5% on Monday. If he actually does it, they will plunge 10% in a single day! That I think is why Mnuchin tweeted earlier today it wasn't true. This is serious moment for all of us. I know I personally believe everything they say. Mainly because of the long history of veracity.
