## Resource

Intrigued by the combination, Bob analysis a recent Trump social media post in which he warned the Fed to cut interest rates, or else Trump would eliminate trade with those countries who currently enjoy a trade surplus with the US. Bob concludes that in general such a drastic move would raise US interest rates, but perversely if it caused a global financial crash, it conceivably could keep rates low on US Treasuries specifically.
