Donald Trump defends "weak dollar," economic analysts respond

President Donald Trump defended the weakening U.S. dollar during a conversation with reporters Friday.

"Well, you know, I'm a person that likes a strong dollar, but a weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money," Trump said in a media Q&A.

Why It Matters

While the U.S. dollar gained ground Friday, it still set for a weekly drop amid ongoing tariff negotiations and The Fed's bank meeting scheduled for next week.

This week marks the greatest drop in a month, with the dollar index standing at 97.448. That shows a 1 percent weekly decline, while the euro stayed at $1.1754, close to its four-year high of $1.183.

Melonia comes in 3rd place

Ivanka comes in 2nd place

Money comes in 1st place. His true love is manipulating everything he can.

Thanks to the idiocy of our electorate, there's not much we can do to stop it.
