Trump says he moved two nuclear submarines after Russia’s Medvedev warns U.S.​

  • President Donald Trump said he ordered two nuclear submarines “to be positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to warnings made to the United States by Russian official Dmitry Medvedev.
  • Medvedev on Monday said that “each new ultimatum” that Trump makes toward Russia in pressuring an end to that nation’s conflict with Ukraine “is a threat and a step towards war.”
President Donald Trump on Friday said that he ordered two nuclear submarines “to be positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to warnings made to the United States this week by high-ranking Russian official Dmitry Medvedev.

Medvedev in a social media post on Monday wrote that each new ultimatum that Trump makes about Russia to force an end to its war on Ukraine “is a threat and a step towards war.”

So you're saying we have incredible economic numbers and everything is great and Powell should cut rates? So I guess by that logic, when the economy isn't doing well then we should raise rates?

Right about now Powell should be raising rates, not cutting them. Of course that's assuming that the government numbers we are getting from Trump are real. The last thing this economy needs rn is a rate cut and higher inflation. The only reason Trump wants lower rates is because we have Multi trillions in debt that need to be refinanced soon. If he doesn't get lower rates then the interest on that debt will be massive and cut into the budget even more.
 
In one day things have changed. Yesterday was almost 0 chance of a rate cut in Sept, today is 80% chance.
Trump fires head of BLS after being so far off on previous months numbers. A good move by him. So after revising the numbers, yes it does look like a rate cut is a good idea but only if inflation remains low. If inflation starts ticking up then I would be against it.

Not With a Bang, but With a Truth Social Post​

Donald Trump, beset by a week of bad news, has decided to rattle the most dangerous saber of all. In a post today on his Truth Social site, the president claimed that in response to recent remarks by former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, he has “ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions.” (All American submarines are nuclear-powered; Trump may mean submarines armed with ballistic nuclear weapons.) “Words are very important,” Trump added, “and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.”

In my opinion the above post shows exactly what T thinks of the military and the men and women who serve.
