A friendship between President Donald Trump and one of his most vocal advocates has taken an almost-Shakespearean twist.
A friendship between President Donald Trump and one of his formerly most vocal advocates has taken an almost-Shakespearean twist.
However, all that has taken a stunning turn in less than a month, with Scaramucci’s devotion for Trump giving way to escalating enmity. “But, I don’t remember him calling himself the ‘King of Israel’ and ‘the chosen one,’” referring to Trump’s embrace this week of Newsmax TV host Wayne Allyn Root’s comments, declaring Trump the greatest president for Jews, and the president’s, perhaps joking, proclamation that he is “the chosen one” to lock horns with China over longstanding U.S. trade imbalances.“I can’t in good conscience support this man for re-election,” he said.
Despite the feud with Trump Sr., Scaramucci acknowledged a cozy relationship with Donald Trump Jr., for whom he hosted a dinner on July 30 at the Hunt & Fish Club near Times Square, where the hedge-fund manager is a co-owner, as reported by the Washington Examiner.Is there a chance, then, that Scaramucci would turn back to the Trump camp ?
Trump also took to Twitter to blast the Federal Reserve, perhaps perceiving a speech by Chairman Jerome Powell at a Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming as a genuine policy-decision meeting, for not doing enough to easy monetary policy. Trump, who has frequently pressed Powell to aggressively cut interest rates, asked in a tweet, “who is our bigger enemy,” Powell or Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“The threat to the U.S. economy from the trade dispute has been viewed as severe enough by the Federal Reserve to spur the central bank to cut already low interest rates in July. And the Fed is widely expected to cut rates again in September”
