LOL - just when I think our right wing posters couldn't possibly get any more dumb you guys prove me wrong
Yeah, who gives a shit if the guy proposing HUGE and MASSIVE spending plans and tax cuts has a fucking clue about economics
that's just stupid liberal elitism
Come to think of it, why does a surgeon need to know anything about anatomy or physiology and why does a pilot need to know how to fly a plane.
Even better, who gives a fuck if the Treasury Secretary knows anything about the economy either
From the same interview with The Economist:
You know, since I've been talking about currency manipulation with respect to them and other countries, they stopped," Trump said about the Chinese.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who spent decades working on Wall Street and in hedge funds, backed up Trump's specious claim. "Right, as soon as the president got elected they went the other way," said Mnuchin.
The claim is patently untrue. For roughly a decade and a half leading up to 2014, China did depreciate its currency, to the detriment of U.S. businesses. But data shows that China abandoned the practice long before Trump came into office.http://www.ndtv.com/world-news/trump-just-took-credit-for-something-china-did-in-2014-1692940Lets keep in mind this is the same POTUS who allegedly called Michael Flynn at 3 am (his former National Security Advisor) to ask “Is a strong dollar good or bad for the economy?”
Of course Flynn didn't know (and there are opinions on both sides) but what he should have told him is "who gives a fuck". It doesn't matter. You don't need to know nothing about nothing.
Your job is to wear a dopey hat and call people names and act like a jackass 24/7.
