Larry Kudlow is 70% Bullshit and 30% Dipshit

Filed in National by on April 8, 2018

It is easy to play a financial genuis on Fox News. You simply praise tax cuts, and take credit for whatever economic prosperity is still hanging around from the most recent Democratic administration. In real life, being an economic genius is a little more difficult.

President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser on Sunday had little to say about a so-called “trade coalition of the willing” he’d previously outlined.

“You said on Friday that you were going to announce a ‘trade coalition of the willing’ today; other countries that were going to join us in taking on China,” Fox News’ Chris Wallace told Larry Kudlow, Trump’s newly-appointed director of the National Economic Council, during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

“Who are they?” Wallace asked.

Kudlow, an experienced TV commentator before his White House hiring, seemed to hesitate.

“I didn’t make this announcement,” he said. “I’m just observing.”

In fact, he had. When Fox News Fox Business’ Stuart Varney asked Kudlow Friday if he’d “heard from the Europeans or the Japanese that, yes, they’re on board with this escalation of the tariff threat” against China, Kudlow said he couldn’t speak for Europe, but that Japan was “supporting us on this.”

Kudlow added Friday: “Just give us another 24 to 48 hours, you’re going to see what I call a trade coalition of the willing to change and get China back into the world by abiding by the laws.” It echoed a comment he made on CNBC in mid-March. The phrase is seemingly a reference to the “coalition of the willing,” former President George W. Bush’s term for countries that supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation of the country.

    Kudlow is total BS, those paying attention knew that from the start. He should be reminded that blatant lying only works for Trump when addressing his mouth breathing base. Nobody in their right mind , thus excluding Trump, wants a trade war. I’m surprised the stock market has not tanked, perhaps because they don’t believe Trump, perhaps because the full impact has yet to be felt.
