No Room For Diplomacy Only Tariffs!

Alright listen up. Goolsbee's in a bind caught in the crossfire. Trump's slinging tariffs like grenades and the Fed's got to figure out how to dodge the shrapnel. This ain't no jungle but it's a battlefield of economics. "To survive a war you gotta become war." And right now the Fed's gotta figure out how to survive Trump's economic war. He wants 50% tariffs on EU goods? That's like asking for a bazooka when a knife will do. 'Live for nothing or die for something' Trump is definitely living for something and asking the country to die for it. Trump you’re pushing too hard! We need to slow down and reassess the situation.

Waiting Game: The Fed's Hands Are Tied!

Goolsbee says he still hopes the rates will be lower but they're stuck in the mud waiting for the smoke to clear. He's saying the Fed's gotta wait and see how these tariffs mess with prices and jobs. 'They drew first blood not me' Trump drew first blood with those tariffs now everyone has to react. I am just a soldier. Trump decides if its a war or not.

Apple's Orchard: Tariff Trouble!

And Apple? Forget about it. Trump wants a 25% tariff on iPhones not made in the US. Apple makes them in China mostly. That's like trying to fight a war with a slingshot. It might not be a big deal to the economy but it's another headache. Another distraction. Someone should just tell him "Nothing is over! Nothing!" He thinks he can control everything. But he can't control the markets. 'I want them alive not dead!'. Trump's tariffs are killing the apple industry. It makes no sense.

Central Bank Neutrality: An Impossible Mission!

Central bankers are supposed to stay out of politics but how can they? Trump's policy IS the battlefield. Goolsbee's optimistic hoping things will calm down. He's saying that rates could drop in a year or so... if Trump doesn't throw another bomb. "Don't push it! Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe!" Trump is pushing it.

June Jitters: Rate Cut on Hold?

June 17 18 is the next meeting. They'll update their plans. Last time they thought they'd cut rates twice this year. Now? Who knows? Goolsbee ain't promising anything. It's like walking through a minefield. You never know when something's gonna blow. 'I could have killed 'em all I could have killed you. In town you're the law out here it's me'. Trump thinks he's the law.

Full Employment? Maybe Not Anymore!

Goolsbee thought things were looking good back in April. Full employment inflation heading down. But now? Everything's changed. The Fed's in a holding pattern. Waiting. Watching. Hoping Trump doesn't pull another stunt. 'They're all expendable'. Trump sees the american people as expendable. He thinks he knows better than them. He needs to be stopped.

    Someone needs to stop Trump before it's too late.
