On Thursday, President Trump lashed out at Jerome Powell for his refusal to lower interest rates despite the stellar economic numbers that are
“Too Late” Jerome Powell and the Fed kept interest rates extremely low at 0.25% during most of Barack Obama’s administration.
Then when President Trump entered office with his pro-growth policies, Jerome Powell immediately began raising the interest rates to slow down the economy. At one point President Trump in his first term could have started to pay down the US debt because of the strength of his economy. Jerome Powell raised interest rates again to make sure that didn’t happen.
Today, despite the strength of the Trump economy, Jerome Powell refuses to lower interest rates. It is truly unexplainable – especially when you see where America stands in relation to the rest of the world.
President Trump lashed out at Powell on Thursday, for his irresponsible and dangerous policies. Powell is targeting and punishing the American worker.
President Trump posted this rant on TRUTH Social.
“Too Late” Powell complains about costs, much of which were produced by the Biden Fake “Government,” but he could do the biggest and best job for our Country by helping to lower Interest Rates and, if he reduced them to the number they should be, 1% to 2%, that “numbskull” would be saving the United States of America up to $1 Trillion Dollars per year.
I fully understand that my strong criticism of him makes it more difficult for him to do what he should be doing, lowering Rates, but I’ve tried it all different ways. I’ve been nice, I’ve been neutral, and I’ve been nasty, and nice and neutral didn’t work!
He’s a dumb guy, and an obvious Trump Hater, who should have never been there, I listened to someone that I shouldn’t have listened to, and Biden shouldn’t have reappointed him. We have virtually No Inflation, our Economy is doing really well, and will soon be doing, with the tremendous Tariff Income coming in, and Factories being built all over the Country, better than it has ever done before.
If he was concerned about Inflation or anything else, then all he has to do is bring the Rate down, so we can benefit on Interest Costs, and raise it in the future when and if these “other elements” happen (which I doubt they will!). Don’t say that you think there will be Inflation sometime in the future, because there isn’t now but, if there is, raise the Rates!
We should be at the TOP of the attached List, not the bottom. I don’t know why the Board doesn’t override this Total and Complete Moron! Maybe, just maybe, I’ll have to change my mind about firing him? But regardless, his Term ends shortly!
President Trump attached this chart to his post.
