The president is threatening china with a whopping 100 billion in additional tariffs. The dow down, you see it there, around 330 points. Investors are rattled about talk of a trade war. Farmers are rattled, too. But listen here, the president telling a morning radio show getting tough with china is long overdue and that a Roller Coaster Market is a price worth paying. Weve already lost a trade war. We dont have a trade war, weve lost a trade war. Im not saying there wont be a little pain, but the market has go
Infiltrated the political system. When asked whether he believed the community or the russian president he said neither basically listen. Dan coats and others came to me and said they think its russia. I have president putin. He just said its not russia. I will say this. I dont see any reason why it would be. I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. Do you hold russia at all accountable for anything in particular . If so, what would you consider them, that they are responsible for . Yes, i do. I hold both countries responsible. I think that the United States has been foolish. I think we have all been foolish. We should have had this dialogue a long time ago. A long time frankly before i got to office. And i think we are all to blame. As i said before, perhaps one of the most disgraceful moments by an american president on the world stage in front of a russian or soviet leader certa

On the white house lawn this morning, this guarantee from the white houses top economic adviser. The fed chairmans job safe . 100 , yes. Not in jeopardy . Absolutely, thats correct, yes. The president blames the fed for the worst stock since 1931 and today, the white house blamed the markets no good very bad december on the slowdown but the u. S. Metrics, or the ones that matter and they remain solid. All the anecdotal information were getting is the fundamentals remain extremely sound. Christmas sales are through the roof. Gdp in the Fourth Quarter is looking like its going to be very close to, if not above 3 again and so i think that the momentum that we saw this year is carried forward to next year.

Congress takes a significant step in trying to get his hands on the full Mueller Report. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote to authorize a subpoena to get special counsel Robert Muellers full and unredacted 400page report. Democratic lawmakers want to see why the fourpage summary in special counsel mueller specifically did not exonerate the president on obstruction of justice and even though the special counsel did not establish a criminal case against the president for conspiracy or coordination with the russians, democrats want to see if the report outlines questionable activity or contact with the russians, perhaps short of a crime.
