🚨 Trump to the Fed: “Cut Rates a Full Point — Rocket Fuel Now!” 🔥
> “Borrowing costs should be MUCH LOWER!!!” – Donald Trump
President Trump is turning up the heat on the Federal Reserve, demanding an immediate 100 basis point interest rate cut — despite a better-than-expected May jobs report showing 139,000 jobs added.
In a fiery post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Go for a full point, Rocket Fuel!” — slamming Fed Chair Jerome Powell for dragging his feet while the economy is “doing great” despite him.
Markets? Not buying it. 💸
Wall Street sees almost zero chance of even a small cut this month — let alone a historic full-point slash. The Fed hasn’t made a move that aggressive since COVID-19 hit in March 2020.
Wages Up, Rate Cut Hopes Down ⬆️⬇️
Average hourly earnings rose 3.9% YoY — hotter than expected. Traders are dialing back bets on a September cut, now at 62% odds (down from 74%). Two or more cuts before 2026? Just 22% odds. 📉
But Trump’s not backing off. He wants cheap borrowing now to ease government debt pressure and doesn’t mind if Powell has to hike again later. Citing the European Central Bank’s recent 0.25% cut, Trump claimed the Fed is falling behind globally — and “costing our Country a fortune.”
With Powell staying silent (for now), Trump is already spinning the Fed’s inaction into campaign ammo.
