💥The Fed Holds Interest Rates—Ignores Trump’s Cut Demand💥
“Trump: ‘Cut the rates!’ — Powell: ‘lol, no.’”
“The Fed just ghosted Trump’s interest rate wishes.”
📉 The Decision:
Despite pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.25%–4.50% in the early hours of Thursday (Apr 7).
Fed Chair Jerome Powell made it clear: no rate cuts until the numbers make sense.
