President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has no problem with the sharp decline in the dollar that’s been triggered by convulsions in global bond markets and growing skepticism about the U.S.’s reliability as a trading partner.
“I think it’s great,” Trump told reporters in Iowa when asked about the currency’s decline. “Look at the business we’re doing. The dollar’s doing great.”
Trump has long maintained that a weaker currency helps industries that he’s seeking to boost — particularly manufacturers, but also oil and gas. And U.S. corporations that export goods and services abroad typically report stronger earnings when they can convert foreign payments into a weaker greenback.
@RememberTheApollo_ He has done it before with a regional airline that he purchased in the 1990’s. It took him only 3 years and in the end he defaulted on the 22 Citicorp bank loans that he used for it’s acquisition!
His 6 bankruptcies … aw what the heck, the American voters trust him!
