'Does He Understand Money?'

Rupert Murdoch's editorial writing team at the Wall Street Journal says America's gold decor-loving, cash-carrying billionaire president doesn't understand how money actually works.

Rupert Murdoch's WSJ Editorial Board: "Does President Trump understand money? The answer would appear to be no. The President calls for easier money even though consumer prices keep rising. Does he want even higher prices?" [The answer would appear to be yes.] www.wsj.com/opinion/dona ...

More: Under the headline "Trumponomics and Rising Inflation," the WSJ team went on to systematically dismantle Trump's mental abilities. "The layers of intellectual confusion here are hard to parse," it wrote, before reluctantly going on to try and parse them anyway.

"Rising inflation means the Fed must be more cautious in cutting rates," it said, in a similar tone to that you might find in an eighth grade economics class.

"He has the analysis backward," they continued, "if he's trying to blame the Federal Reserve."

"Someone should tell him," about what was actually to blame for the potential for a pause in rate cuts (the Fed's "premature" half percentage point cut in September, apparently.)

Does He Understand Money?

He certainly knows how to pilfer it from cancer charities and toothless garbage people.

Of course not. He inherited his wealth. How could he know about how money works??

Why would Trump know how money works?

He's the spoiled brat son of a millionaire who gave him everything he wanted.

He spent his life partying and banging expensive women.

He's never had to be responsible for anything.

He inherited everything he's ever had and by all accounts, would have had more wealth had he simply not touched any of it.

Trump's greatest gift has always been his ability to be entertaining. He's a clown. A drag queen. The man is covered in makeup and spends hours on his hair.

Trump doesn't know anything about money other than how to waste it.

The orange pedo's casinos would've gone belly up sooner if his klansman father hadn't intervened.
