On the Federal Reserve, Trump isn't wrong

Donald Trump comments on the Federal Reserve Monday

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump was asked about the Federal Reserve today and instead of taking some populist cheap shots, he made a few solid points.

• The Fed is 'keeping the rates down so everything else doesn't go down,' he said
• The US has a 'false economy'
• 'At some point' US interest rates 'are going to have to change'

A weekend poll from Reuters showed Trump ahead of Clinton nationally. He has toned down some of the unpresidential rhetoric and attempting to sound more level-headed.

That was a plan for a path to the White House I laid out back in March. He blew it around the time of the Orlando shooting but if he can right the ship and maintain it, he has a shot.

The first debate is Oct 3.

If he wins, it's good to know that at least he isn't intending to force rates higher in some kind of crazy experiment.
