The last one to do this was Old Ma, who argued every day. Now it’s the old man again, dismissing people every day. 😂😂 Trump’s recent moves are a masterclass in manipulation: first, he hints at firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, stirring up market panic, then turns around and flatly denies having 'written a dismissal letter,' playing a clever game. The market has already seen through the trick: there’s over a 95% chance the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged in July, and there's barely a 5% chance of a rate cut; but by September, the winds shifted dramatically — a 99% expectation pointed towards a rate cut, even if just by 0.25%, while the likelihood of remaining unchanged plummeted to around 30%. Trump's disdain for Powell is also quite evident; he openly criticizes Powell for being 'slow' and out of sync, even declaring, 'I won’t move you for these eight months, but once your term is up, I’ll replace you with my own person,' specifically seeking someone 'capable and sensible.' The implication in his words couldn't be clearer: he wants someone obedient, advocating for low interest rates, like Hassett whom he mentioned. In short, not moving against Powell right now is merely because the timing isn't right or the process is complicated, but his true intention is unmistakable — he wants a Federal Reserve Chairman who can cooperate with his plan to 'flood the market' to stimulate the economy. While he says 'no firing,' every word puts pressure on Powell, making it clear he wants compliance. His ultimate goal is clear: to have someone who follows his lead at the helm of the Federal Reserve, implementing loose monetary policies. First, test the waters, then stabilize; hidden within his shrewd calculations is an obsession with low interest rate policies. Powell? In his eyes, he’s just a 'not obedient enough' transitional figure. Instead of waiting and watching, it’s better to join Chang'an and burn together! #特朗普施压鲍威尔
