U.S NONFARM PAYROLLS (AUG) ACTUAL: 162K VS -23K PREVIOUS; EST 55K

TRUMP: GREAT JOBS NUMBER JUST ANNOUNCED, BREAKING ALL ESTIMATES (EXCEPT MINE!) BY DOUBLE AND TRIPLE - AND YOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET! EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOB IN AUGUST. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES BECAUSE THE U.S.A. IS A MUCH STRONGER CREDIT THAN IT WAS JUST A SHORT TIME AGO! A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE - IT’S A BETTER CREDIT…VERY SIMPLE! WE SHOULD HAVE THE LOWEST RATE OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, LIKE “THE OLD DAYS.”

TRUMP: WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES AGREEING TO ALLOW THEM THEIR BIG SURPLUSES, AND WE COULD STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY, THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED FINANCIALLY ELITE! LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, WHICH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, IN ITS RIDICULOUS AND VERY COSTLY TARIFF DECISION, STRONGLY ACKNOWLEDGED “THE PRESIDENT” HAS AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DO.

TRUMP: ITS BETTER THAN TARIFFS! THE FED BOARD, WITH ITS GREAT NEW LEADER, MUST GET SMART - BE PATRIOTS FOR A CHANGE. HIGH INTEREST RATES PUT THE U.S.A. AT A VERY UNFAIR DISADVANTAGE, AND I WON’T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN!
