President Trump is criticizing the Federal Reserve, calling it a "disaster" and urging a 100 basis point interest rate cut. Here's what's behind his stance:

Trump has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies, often expressing frustration on social media. He believes lower interest rates would boost economic growth and make the US more competitive globally.

Trump specifically called for a 100 basis point interest rate cut, echoing his previous demands for the Federal Reserve to lower rates. He argues this would stimulate economic growth and job creation.

Trump's repeated attacks on the Federal Reserve have raised questions about the central bank's independence and potential implications for monetary policy. Some experts argue his comments could influence market expectations and Fed decisions.

The US economy has shown resilience, but growth has been uneven. Trump's demands for lower rates come amid concerns about slowing job creation and global economic headwinds.

Trump has historically been critical of the Federal Reserve's policies, even tweeting over 100 times about Fed policy during his presidency. His views on interest rates have shifted over time, previously criticizing low rates during the Obama administration.

Some notable experts' perspectives on Trump's views include:

An economics professor at the University of Oregon, Duy believes Trump was "right by accident" in his calls for lower rates, but questions the motivations behind Trump's comments.

Chief economist at Stifel, Piegza notes that while Trump's demands might not align with traditional economic reasoning, the Fed's actions have validated some of his positions.

Senior fellow at the Cato Institute, Selgin suggests presidents often prefer lower interest rates for economic growth, which can conflict with the Fed's goals.#MarketPullback $BTC
