On April 18, local time, at the podium in the White House that bears countless significant decisions and historical moments, the spotlight poured down like a scorching flame. President Trump stood tall and confident, delivering a speech that was as shocking as thunder. His gaze was piercing, his words fervent, and he hoarsely reiterated that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell must lower interest rates, as if he firmly believed that this measure was the miraculous remedy to save the American economy from disaster, capable of instantly raising the sails of hope for this giant ship called the American economy and steering it towards prosperity. Meanwhile, Trump smiled confidently, expressing that the possibility of reaching an agreement between the United States and Ukraine shone like brilliant stars, close at hand, as if a magnificent picture of mutual progress and win-win cooperation had already been perfectly outlined in his mind. However, just recently, at the podium of the Chicago Economic Club, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stood like a warrior holding the line, facing the tumultuous waves of the market. His gaze was firm, his attitude resolute, and he declared emphatically that the Federal Reserve would never be flustered by short-term market fluctuations nor take emergency measures. This statement, like a loud horn, instantly stirred up waves in the seemingly calm yet turbulent ocean of the financial world, tightening the hearts of countless investors and observers. Trump's reaction was as rapid and intense as a volcanic eruption. He glared fiercely and mercilessly launched a stormy criticism of Powell, his sharp words piercing like daggers into Powell's policy stance. By the 17th, Trump escalated his attacks like an angry lion, exerting tremendous pressure on Powell as if a mountain were pressing down, even boasting that he could immediately have Powell pack his bags, while asserting in an undeniable tone that the Federal Reserve must lower interest rates immediately, as if the Fed's interest rate policy were a toy he could manipulate at will.
