The infamous Kudlow
In early morning, Trump decided to hold a little meeting with the media hacks...
Trump proudly touted the first print of Q2 GDP that came in at 4.1%. Things got far more interesting with ex-CNBC 'contributor', Larry Kudlow - Director of the President's National Economic Council.
The following will no doubt be widely referenced in the years ahead....
"This is a boom that will be sustainable. Frankly, as far as the eye can see. This is no one shot, ever" - Kudlow, L. July 27th 2018.
Financial historians will look back on this as just another classic delusion by central government that believes it can negate the natural economic cycle. Kudlow is widely recognised as touting 'no recession' as late as summer 2008. He was economically wrong then... and the notion the current boom is sustainable, is utter nonsense.
