President Trump on Tuesday appeared to call for Goldman Sachs Chief Executive David Solomon to replace the bank’s top economist over his past predictions, in his latest broadside against executives he believes are undermining his goals.

Trump said on his Truth Social social-media platform that Solomon should “go out and get himself a new Economist” because the bank made a “bad prediction a long time ago” on the market and tariffs. The president asserted that tariffs haven’t caused inflation or other issues for the U.S. economy.
