Another, perhaps more worrying sign, of the Trump administration's approach to economic policy was revealed yesterday, when commerce secretary Howard Lutnick recommended in a Fox News interview that people buy Tesla stock.

That's the electric car company led by Elon Musk, who is busy right now cutting down the US government at the behest of Lutnick's boss, Donald Trump.

I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla. It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is this cheap. It'll never be this cheap again. When people understand the things he's building, the robots he's building, the technology he's building, people are going to be dreaming of today, and ... thinking gosh, I should have bought Elon Musk's stock.

The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition (ease!) their way into the economy. Do the right thing. April 2nd is Liberation Day in America!!!
