🔷️ The Fed Has "Lost Its Way": Hassett Escalates Pressure for Rate Cuts

​The tension between the White House and the Federal Reserve reached a boiling point as NEC Director Kevin Hassett launched a sharp critique of the central bank’s independence. $GUN

Hassett argued that the Fed’s historical decision-making lacks consistency across political cycles, claiming,

"The Federal Reserve has lost its way…when President Trump was running for office the first time, it looked like inflation was very high, but the Fed didn’t move."

This strategic callback to 2016 is clearly designed to undermine the Fed’s current autonomy and justify the administration's demands for immediate, aggressive interest rate cuts. $AUDIO

​With the Federal Funds Rate currently held between 3.50% and 3.75%, Hassett’s rhetoric frames the Fed as being "asleep at the wheel" both then and now. By suggesting the Fed ignored inflation in the past, he argues that their current refusal to lower rates is a policy error rather than objective management. This public pressure signals a significant shift toward an administration that seeks more direct influence over monetary policy. $PIEVERSE

As the 2026 economic landscape remains volatile, this battle over who controls the cost of borrowing is set to become the defining conflict of the current fiscal year.
