President Donald Trump repeated his criticism of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increases and said the stock market would be 10,000 points higher had the Fed kept rates lower.
Without the rate increases, “the stock market would be up 10,000 points more, but now we have a very conservative approach,” Trump said in a taped interview with Fox News that was broadcast Thursday night.
