Trump slams the table! "If you don't listen, don't become the Federal Reserve Chair!" Is the century-old independent defense line about to collapse? 一起聊聊！
"Those who do not agree with me will never think of becoming the Federal Reserve Chair!" Trump's harsh words have caused a stir in the global financial circle. This core position, which holds the valve of the global dollar, directly influences Wall Street nerves with decisions about interest rates and money printing, and yet it is blatantly bound to the word 'obedience.'
Even more outrageous is his demand: "Interest rates must be lowered even when the market is good." He nicknamed Powell "slow Jerome," bluntly stating that the new chair must "agree with low interest rates," placing political stance above economic data.
Two popular candidates are both named Kevin—former Federal Reserve governor Waller and White House economic advisor Hassett. The former is backed by Trump's financial supporter, while the latter has criticized the Federal Reserve's "political priorities" but stubbornly claims that "presidential decisions don’t carry weight." It’s clear to those who understand: how can there be true independence for a nominee from the president's circle? Trump has also stated, "I chose the wrong Powell back then, this time we must be cautious," which translates to finding a thoroughly obedient puppet.
Fortunately, Powell responded with a firm move: he extended the terms of 11 regional Federal Reserve presidents by five years. The underlying message is clear: even if I leave office, don’t think you can turn the Federal Reserve into the White House’s ATM. Since its establishment in 1913, the independence of the Federal Reserve has been the ballast for global financial stability—after breaking free from the Treasury’s control in 1951, it was this independence that prevented economic disasters caused by politicians' shortsightedness.
Now Trump wants to repeat history, essentially kidnapping the economy for votes. Lowering interest rates to stimulate the stock market’s short-term boom can embellish his political report card, while inflation bubbles and debt crises will be left for the next government to clean up. Once the independence of the Federal Reserve is compromised, dollar credibility will collapse, capital outflow and global de-dollarization will accelerate, leading to unimaginable consequences. Musk's concept of little puppies【p.u.p.p.i.es】 is lying in ambush!
The century-old defense line is facing a political assault. Can dollar credibility, market expectations, and the future of ordinary people coexist? Do you think the Federal Reserve can maintain its last line of independence?
