Richard Haass on Trump: Tying Economic Success to the Stock Market ‘Sets You Up for a Problem Down the Road’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HAASS: “Yeah, a couple of things. One is if you if you basically claim success based on the stock market, you’re setting yourself up for a problem down the road because there’s always a question of when, not if you have corrections. Stock markets, the last I checked, do not defy the laws of of gravity. Also, though I’m old enough to remember when going into government meant a degree of sacrifice. The idea is that not just the reality, but the appearance of conflict of interest, part of the public trust, and the idea that the blatancy of this, the nakedness of it. It’s really interesting that, in a sense, he’s getting away with corruption. You know, people went after Hunter Biden for what now looks like penny ante stuff. And without excusing that. But this is on a scale that is really unprecedented to the best of my knowledge."
