Trump rips Powell, suggests appointing himself to Fed

Trump supposedly has what I have, a Bachelor’s degree in Economics. I like to second-guess the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, but with Trump’s six business bankruptcies on his resume, him saying “I’d do a much better job than these people,” is just another one of his dumb boasts.

Who’s playing with World War 3 now, Donald?
Surrender to what authority? Israel? It can’t be the United States, because we haven’t declared war on Iran. Netanyahu started this war because he wanted to push Trump into acting on his behalf.
We made the mistake of regime change in Iraq, based upon false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Now we’re going to repeat and compound that mistake in Iran?
For all of Trump’s tough talk, he isn’t tough-minded. He’s indecisive and easily influenced. Trump took Bibi’s bait and he’s letting Netanyahu set American foreign policy.
The present crisis started because Netanyahu failed to do the one thing he promised to do — protect Israel. The horrible attack against Israeli civilians by Hamas shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone. Hamas did exactly what everyone knew they were determined to do. If Netanyahu hadn’t screwed up, he would have had a decisive win on both the ground and the moral high ground.
In a world-class example of someone over-compensating for their inadequacy, Netanyahu embarked on a campaign of genocide that, in the long run, is endangering the existence of Israel.
I don’t qualify to be a member of the National Cartoonists Society, but for about $500 non-members can register to attend this year’s Reuben Awards ceremony in Boston. Which I have done.

The mall that’s closest to me heading towards Boston has a few vacant storefronts, but it’s doing all right. The mall that’s closest to me heading away from Boston is struggling. In Western Massachusetts, the malls are dead or close to it. This NY Times article is being shared paywall-free.
For the second time in a week, Blondie and Dustin, both King Features strips, are featuring the same thing. Last time was vending machines, this time it’s ice cream sandwiches. It’s important that I keep up with these things in retirement!
P.S. Also in today’s King Features comics, another Tuesday Weld admirer.
