He argued that rising interest rates and other Fed policies were damaging the economy \u2014 as evidenced by GM\u2019s announcement this week that it was laying off 15 percent of its workforce \u2014 though he insisted that he is not worried about a recession.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m doing deals, and I\u2019m not being accommodated by the Fed,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey\u2019re making a mistake because I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else\u2019s brain can ever tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, I said on <a href=\"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=37445\">October 29<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Trump trying to pick a fight with the Fed (I think this is probably because he wants some political cover in case a US slowdown does occur to a noticeable degree)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not the most astute prediction I&#8217;ve ever made, but it&#8217;s nice to have a winner nevertheless! And, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/business\/trump-gm-electric-cars-1.4922802\">Trump&#8217;s huffing and puffing<\/a> with his version of crony capitalism:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; that General Motors was closing plants in the United States and warned that the White House was &#8220;now looking at cutting all GM subsidies,&#8221; including for its electric cars program.<\/p>\n<p>Trump unleashed on Twitter a day after GM announced it would shutter five plants and slash 14,000 jobs in North America, with many of the job cuts coming from the U.S.Midwest, where the president has promised a manufacturing rebirth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Politicians are afraid to say it: highly paid manufacturing jobs will all disappear in the near future. Anything repetitive and finicky can be done better by a robot &#8211; it&#8217;s just a matter of time and money and not too much of those. But in the meantime, there are real people experiencing real pain, so they have to huff and puff. <\/p>\n<p>But the market &#8211; according to the chatteratti &#8211; is so desperate for good news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/investing\/markets\/inside-the-market\/market-news\/article-the-close-dow-sp-500-end-up-after-white-house-advisers-trade\/\">it will take anything<\/a>!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The S&#038;P 500 and Dow edged higher on Tuesday after White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said a meeting between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart on Saturday was an opportunity to \u201cturn the page\u201d on a trade war.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>All three major U.S. indexes turned positive after spending much of the session in negative territory, after Kudlow\u2019s comments days ahead of the high-stakes dinner between the two leaders after the G20 summit in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<p>But Kudlow also said the White House has been disappointed so far in China\u2019s response to trade issues with the United States. On Monday, Trump threatened to move ahead with additional tariffs on Chinese goods, due to take effect on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But what a day it was!<\/p>\n<p>TXPR touched a new 52-week low of 632.64 (1.02% down from <a href=\"https:\/\/prefblog.com\/?p=37604\">yesterday<\/a>&#8216;s close) before closing at 640.91, up 0.28%.
