Donald Trump is moving too fast, alienating allies, making Americans poorer, and tarnishing the sterling reputation of US assets, Citadel CEO and founder Ken Griffin said Wednesday.

Though the president may have identified real problems, his methods to solve them don’t appear to be working, and are unlikely to revive American manufacturing, Griffin told Semafor’s Gina Chon at the World Economy Summit in Washington, DC.

Previously, Griffin said, “no brand compared” to US Treasurys, the strength of the US dollar, or the nation’s creditworthiness. But Trump’s tactics have “eroded” that reputation.

    Wait wait wait, …“tRUMP is moving too fast.” WTF?
    That fat cunt never moves fast, physically or mentally. He just cannot do it.

    Ok, maybe if it’s to do with raping women and children then, yeah, I can see him rushing to do that.

    Well put, but also leopards.

    Griffin is one of the Republican Party’s biggest donors and has previously downplayed the threat of trade duties.

    Still, the tariffs have been a major focus for Citadel, at a time when Griffin had expected a breather from the pressures of new regulations under the Biden administration.

    Griffin had been relishing “the idea that I have four years to focus on my business.” But thanks to tariff turmoil, the country “has devolved into a nonsensical place” where business leaders are distracted by concerns such as supply chain disruptions.

    If the US gets poor enough can a fast food combo cost less than an hour of working an assembly line?
