President Trump's public denouncement of the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell threatens the institution's independence, crucial for market stability. Despite Trump's bluster, Powell's leadership remains steady, but escalating interest rates and declining growth add pressure for Trump to act. The possibility of legally removing Powell looms, though such moves could exacerbate economic troubles. Additionally, Trump's aggressive tariffs, particularly on China and Canada, could further harm the economy, impacting consumers, farming, and small businesses, counteracting his stated goals of growth and stability.
By threatening the independence of the Federal Reserve, the president risks undermining many of his key goals.
According to President Donald Trump, the banker he picked to lead the Federal Reserve is 'WRONG.' His reports are a 'complete mess!' And his termination cannot come fast enough!
But interest rates are climbing and growth is falling, giving Trump trillions of reasons to get rid of the Fed chair.
Trump has implemented sweeping global tariffs, including a 145 percent tariff on all goods from China, the highest effective rate since 1901.
