has to share the blame for putting his foot on the gas of the bubble blowing machine.
To an extent that's understandable as the Fed had its foot on the gas in a big way the whole time Obama was in office & then started raising interest rates after Trump was elected. That is often the pin that *****s the bubble.
He pressured them into artificially suppressing rates again & as is to be expected, the economy booms.
But the busts inevitably follow and the bigger the bubble, the bigger the crash. It's a lot like hangovers from booze or drugs.
