🚨🚨 #TrumpVsFed 🚨🚨

📉 The U.S. economy’s kinda hitting the brakes—GDP growth dropped to around 2.1% in Q1 2025, compared to 2.8% last quarter. People aren’t spending as much, and global trade issues aren’t helping.🏦 Over at the Fed, Jerome Powell’s keeping rates steady at 4.25%-4.5% after some cuts late last year. He’s playing it safe because of inflation, even though there’s a lot of pressure to loosen things up.📢 Trump’s not letting up on Powell—he’s been saying for a while that high rates are choking the economy. This isn’t new; he was on about the same thing in 2024, wanting lower rates to fire up jobs and the stock market.📊 Speaking of markets, they’re a bit of a mess—the S&P 500’s down 3% this year so far. Investors are jittery, and they’re betting there’s a 60% chance the Fed might cut rates by 25 basis points by June, according to CME FedWatch.💼 Jobs are feeling the pinch too—unemployment crept up to 4.3% in March 2025. Trump’s pointing at the Fed, saying their high rates are making it tougher for businesses to hire.🌍 Looking abroad, other central banks like the ECB are already easing up—they cut rates to 3% in March. That’s adding more heat on Powell to follow suit, which kinda backs up Trump’s argument.🗳️ Also, Trump’s probably using this to score some political points—sounds a lot like his 2024 campaign talk, where he pitched himself as the guy to get the economy roaring again.
