Trump II's latest savage whim involves Fed Chair Jay Powell, whose chairman role ends in May. Impatient "Donroe" wants his way right here, right now on multiple fronts.
Powell has been impervious to Trump's meddling, other than showing obvious irritation at the President's lies and mischaracterizations. The Fed chair called Trump II out again this evening.
"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."
Trump II could be patient and maybe Powell would surrender both the Chair and his Board of Governor seat. Tantrums and bullying could motivate Mr. Powell to remain a governor after stepping down as Chair.
Gold futures are up and stock futures down upon hearing of Trump's Fed tampering. I'll wager the market can reign in Trump far better than his morality (which is apparently housed in a vacuum chamber on the dark side of the moon).
Trump is headed to The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. U.S. manufacturing employment declined in 2025.
Donroe fired his latest shot across the Fed's bow and it may boomerang back. Shouldn't those DOJ staffers be working on the Epstein files?
