đź’¨ Abstract
President Donald Trump demanded that the Federal Reserve's board of governors take over from Chair Jerome Powell due to Powell's reluctance to cut interest rates. Trump, via Truth Social, criticized Powell's stance, arguing that rate cuts would boost economic growth and reduce debt costs. Despite the Fed's preferred inflation measure surpassing the 2% target, Trump insists there is no significant inflation.
