TRUMP BLASTS FED: “25 BPS IS WEAK — WE NEED 50!” 🇺🇸💥
The FOMC cut rates by 25 bps—and Trump immediately fired back, calling the move “too small” and insisting the cut should’ve been at least 50 bps. Markets went wild: the Dow swung sharply, Treasury yields jumped, and the VIX spiked 15%.
Trump’s key hits:
🔥 “U.S. rates should be the LOWEST on the planet!”
💼 “High rates are killing jobs, housing, and slowing the AI race vs. China.”
⚡ “Powell has to go—we need new leadership that understands growth.”
Bets on a 50 bps cut in January surged to 40%, with Kevin Warsh suddenly rumored as a potential replacement for Powell. The Fed’s independence? Facing heavy political heat.

🧨 TRUMP’S ULTIMATUM
“25 bps isn’t enough. America needs WINNING rates—and we need them NOW.”
