Trump to hold a press conference after markets close on Monday

WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he would hold a press conference later on Monday before returning to Washington from Florida, but gave no details about what he would discuss.
The press conference is scheduled for at about 5:30 p.m. (2130 GMT), after the U.S. markets close. It comes as global markets slumped more than a week into the war on Iran amid soaring oil prices and fears of spiking inflation.
"Many important meetings and phone calls taking place today," Trump added in the social media post announcing his plans to speak to reporters after attending a Republican fundraiser.

Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he'll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn't want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.

(31,972 posts)He said he made many important phone calls today;
I say that he called to remind his fossil fuel cronies that he gave them federal land and water to drill on, that he deregulated fossil fuels and put regulations on and canceled clean energy projects, that he stole Venezuelan oil for them. I'm saying that Krasnov threatened them to keep gasoline prices reasonable, no matter the price of oil.
It is costing unwashed Magats a lot of money to fill up their pickup trucks.

He only believes the fantasies of unrivaled brilliance and power constructed by his malignant narcissism and psychopathic cruelty.

Republican heads should have blown many fuses by now, and why we aren't seeing exploding heads is beyond me.
Some say that on a quiet night, some cemeteries are noted for the sounds of bones creaking.
No doubt founding fathers and past honest politicians turning in their graves.
