A rate cut was baked in, I don't think a 50 bps rate cut was baked in. My assumption is that there is some slight concern that the large rate cut is a signal that the Fed is troubled by the underlying fundamentals of the economy.

Well, that concern would have been baked in. It's not as if people only today started to worry that a 50 bps cut is a bad signal about the economy.

Again, my greatest frustration...

MAGA white working class folks are more committed to their bigoted world view than the welfare of their families.

Trump realizes this and is pandering to the bigotry of his base offering nothing to improve the lives of their family when it comes to their economic well being, their family's education, or their family's health.
 
Donald Trump said the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point on Wednesday showed the U.S. economy was either “very bad” or the central bank was “playing politics,” the Financial Timesreports.

Said Trump: “I guess it shows the economy is very bad to cut it by that much, assuming that they are not just playing politics. The economy would be very bad, or they are playing politics, one or the other. But it was a big cut.”

I know Republicans have been trying to emphasize inflation, but that issue seems to be losing some steam with the combination of Kamala replacing Biden and inflation subsiding. Gas prices hitting two-year lows is also helping, as many people equate gas prices to the state of the economy.

To me, there are a lot of parallels to 1984. Inflation was rampant in 1981 and 1982, and there was a lot of anger against Reagan. By 1984, inflation had cooled, the stock market was hot, and people were not that upset about the economy when they finally went into the voting booth in November 1984.

If we only knew the long term effects of Reagan...

He's so fucking dumb.

The central bank has to focus on what is best for the country, not timing of the election.

Trump just repeats whatever he hears on Fox. He doesn’t spend even a second to think about it himself. And while the Fox hosts are plenty smart to know what they’re saying is BS, they say it anyway, because that’s how they (and by extension, Trump) control their audience.

Yes, it is frustrating to see them vote against their own better interest.

Like he said in the debate, he gets his news from TV.
