Trump Reveals Why He Will Skip First Republican Primary Debate and Interview with Tucker Carlson Instead

 

President Trump will skip the first Republican primary debate and sit down for an online Twitter interview with Tucker Carlson instead, according to the New York Times.

 

The Republican debate will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin next Wednesday and will be hosted by Fox News.

 

Trump said he wonโ€™t participate in the debates because his poll numbers are โ€œextraordinary.โ€

 

โ€œReagan didnโ€™t do it, and neither did others,โ€ Trump said of his decision to skip the primary debates.

โ€œMany people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a โ€œwonderfulโ€ field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points. Reagan didnโ€™t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? Iโ€™M YOUR MAN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!โ€ Trump said on Truth Social.

BlackRock Becomes Key Player in Crisis Response for Trump and the Fed

 

(Bloomberg) โ€“ As President Donald Trump grappled with the coronavirus outbreak last month, he boasted at a press conference of tapping a secret weapon for advice: Larry Fink.

 

The chief executive of BlackRock Inc. provided insight to Trump on coping with the fallout from the pandemic โ€“ and once again put his firm at center of a white-hot economic emergency.

 

BlackRock is no stranger to stepping in during a financial crisis cleanup. It played a similar role in 2008. But back then, it was a smaller firm with a focus on fixed income, closer to Pacific Investment Management Co., which had renowned money managers Mohamed El-Erian and Bill Gross at the helm.

 

More than a decade later, the investing landscape has shifted. BlackRock has a premiere role in helping the Federal Reserve stabilize markets. The central bank has hired the firm to help manage its economic relief efforts. Beyond U.S. borders, the Bank of Canada has called on the asset manager as it shapes its response to the meltdown.

 

BlackRockโ€™s government connections reflect the dominance it has achieved in the asset management arena since the last financial crisis. It became the worldโ€™s largest asset manager with $6.5 trillion in assets โ€“ a size and breadth that make the firm an essential player on Wall Street, in Washington, and beyond.

 

That may be an advantage amid the current tumult. โ€œThe companies that are going to come out in better shape are going to be the big businesses,โ€ said Greggory Warren, an analyst at Morningstar Inc.
