Trump wants to fire Powell, which is clearly impossible. Even if he succeeds in firing him, although interest rate cuts may come sooner, a new crisis of trust would be far more severe than the rate cuts. Why does Trump want to cut interest rates? Does he need it more urgently than us investors? 1. Stimulate economic growth to achieve political goals 2. Lower national debt interest rates 3. Address inflation pressures caused by tariffs 4. Control the Fed to enhance his own political influence. I think old Trump is going crazy wanting to get to Mount Rushmore!
