Some interesting quotes by Donald Trump about rates, the dollar, macro and gold thru Ronnie Stoeferle:

- "I am a low interest rate person. If we raise interest rates and if the dollar starts getting too strong, we're going to have some very major problems." - "This is the United States government. First of all, you never have to default because you print the money." - "The Dollar is too strong. Our companies can’t compete with them now because our currency is too strong. And it’s killing us." - "The golden rule of negotiation: He who has the gold makes the rules." - "We used to have a very, very solid country because it was based on a gold standard. We don’t have the gold. Other places have the gold." - "I have been complaining about currency devaluations for a long time. I believe that we will all eventually, and probably sooner than people understand or think, be on a level playing field because that’s the only way its fair."
