Beyond this, it perpetuates an increasing Left/Right division in America. Think about it during a fiscal crisis under Trump, triggered by accumulating Fed rate hikes, liberals will immediately set upon Trump as the culprit, while conservatives will immediately defend Trump as a victim of Federal Reserve meddling.

The Federal Reserve and the mainstream media are already composing the narrative by stating that Trump's potential economic policies and a widening budget deficit would REQUIRE higher rates at a faster pace in order to be accommodated.


Every time I hear the Fed or anyone say that they're not political, I laugh big time. They've been very anti-conservative for as long as I can remember during conservative or anti-establishment administrations, as long as the prior President started being economically conservative (like Carter with inflation fighting under Tall Paul). Rates started going up early in Bush 1's administration (similar to Trump's so far) and the stock market peak started in January 2000. *Shocking*, isn't it? /sarc

I expect a significant stock market drop in Q1 or Q2 2017 and lots of blame gaming noise from the Establishment(Soros)Bots, while conveniently avoiding all the blame games played under Obummer especially during his first term. It'll be just yet another admission that they have no clue on how to run an economy or understand economics 101... along with very questionable 1%er biased central banking games. Expect many impeachment noises if it turns into a large correction or a recession, partly on the basis of entitlement.

It's not all that rosy these days (in spite of what the EstablishmentBots PR machine is pushing now) to justify the various CONfidence measures, as even Bloomberg notes:
