Buttigieg: Trying to Blame the Fed for the Instability Trump Himself Has Created Doesn’t Make Any Sense

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: “First of all, attacking your fellow Americans or trying to blame the Fed for the instability that he himself has created doesn’t make any sense. Also it's clear that there is not an actual strategy for dealing with China. You can tell that by the erratic behavior, the tweets. And look, no amount of tariffs will change China's fundamental economic model. There's no question that there's a number of behaviors coming out of China that we think are problematic. We're going to have to invest in our domestic competitiveness if we actually want to keep up. And in the meantime, he keeps asking us, whether it's farmers in the Midwest getting killed by tariffs on soybeans, or folks in New England on blueberries, or just American consumers who are going to be paying a higher price for consumer goods. He's asking us all to take one for the team and it's not clear exactly where he thinks the team is going.”
