  2. “When you look at the [job] numbers and see that they’re below 100 [thousand], the below 100 thing isn’t as disturbing as it might be in the past,” #Hassett told #Varney&Co host #StuartVarney." www.thedailybeast.com/trump-goon-k...

  3. Guy Smiley #Hassett was back on #FnS to #gaslight viewers, bragging about the T**** Economy, claim #tariffs are NOT increasing prices, #inflation is down and growth is up.

    Okay, we already know the tariff claims are simple BS, but re: inflation…

    #Inflation is down (slightly) b/c the economy is tanking, forcing stores to drop prices to boost sales.

    Electricity prices are shooting up, leaving less money in consumer's pockets, suppressing sales, negating some of that inflation. #gaslighting

  4. “And even if #Hassett doesn’t get the job, whoever does is almost certain to be totally subservient to #Trump. And this will be a negative for the economy.” #Fed open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

  5. Last Sunday Kevin #Hassett — effectively the #Trump administration’s chief economist — was interviewed by CBS.

    Just a few sentences make it clear that he is absolutely unqualified — intellectually and morally — to be Fed chair. And the fact that nobody took notice, that his ignorance and mendacity were accepted as par for the course, demonstrated just how far our standards for public service have been degraded.

  8. #SundayShowdown
    Economic Council Director Kevin #Hassett on #FnS defended the firing of the #BLS Commissioner, citing "frequent revisions", questioning the timing of a DOWNWARD revision of "more than a million jobs" that "didn't come out until AFTER #Biden dropped out" (suggesting a partisan motive.)

    PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME how delaying a bad revision HELPED Biden (or for that matter, #Harris) AFTER he dropped out??? 🤨

  9. “On Friday, National Economic Council Director Kevin #Hassett said #Trump was studying whether he’s able to fire Powell,” Bloomberg reports. Which prompts one to wonder how Trump goes about “studying” an issue like #Fed independence…

  10. Can a market crash be an economic strategy? Kevin Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, debunks claims from former President Trump that the stock market downturn is intentional. Instead, Hassett insists Trump aims to provide benefits to American workers, despite fears of a trade war causing the decline.
