Market Turmoil: President Trump Ignores Tariff Concerns

As we discussed in the previous two parts of this series, rising interest rates and the US-China war (FXI) are two of the major reasons for investors’ pessimism. Meanwhile, President Trump seems to be playing the “blame game” regarding the ongoing market turmoil. According to a BBC report, in an interview with Fox & Friends in August, President Trump said, “I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor.” When the market crash started in October during his time in office, President Trump started blaming the Fed for the economic turmoil.
