What has Trump been busy with in the past 24 hours?
1. Trump attacks Powell again: Almost everyone agrees that "the Fed should cut interest rates sooner rather than later." Mr. "Too Late" Powell, a man known for being "too late", may mess up again. Who knows?
2. Trump announces separate phone calls on the 19th with Putin and Zelensky: Trump posted on his social platform "Truth Social" that he will speak with Russian President Putin at 10am on the 19th of this month to discuss ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict and trade-related issues. He also stated that he will then speak with Ukrainian President Zelensky and engage in dialogue with multiple NATO member countries with Zelensky.
3. Trump reassures Netanyahu: Trump stated in an interview on the 17th that he is not disappointed in Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Israeli newspaper "Israel Times" commented that this seems to downplay the idea that there are cracks in the relationship between the two sides.
4. Trump lashes out at ABC News: Trump criticized ABC News on social media, stating that they cannot say that Qatar gave him a free Boeing 747 aircraft, but rather that he will donate the aircraft to the US Air Force/Department of Defense. Trump said that ABC fake news is one of the worst forms of news.
5. Trump criticizes Walmart for raising prices: Trump: Walmart should stop trying to blame the entire supply chain price increase on tariffs. Walmart made billions last year, far exceeding expectations. They should "eat" the tariffs, instead of charging customers any fees.
