⚖️ Core Intervention Means
1. Personnel Pressure
Trump announced the nomination of a new chair before Powell's term ended (due to expire in May 2026), undermining Powell's authority by supporting the candidate and forcing the Federal Reserve to shift to a rate-cutting policy.
2. Legal Breakthrough
Promote the Supreme Court to review the 1935 case (Humphrey's Executor case), intending to abolish the restrictions on the president's ability to dismiss officials of independent agencies. If a ruling is passed in May 2025, the president could dismiss Federal Reserve governors based on policy disagreements, fundamentally destroying the independence of the central bank.
3. Placing Loyalists
In June 2025, Michelle Bowman, who advocates for deregulation, was appointed as the Federal Reserve's Vice Chair for Supervision. Trump gradually took control of key positions through personnel changes, paving the way for intervention in interest rate decisions.
🎯 Political Motives
• Shifting Policy Contradictions
After increasing tariffs heightened the risk of economic recession, Trump called for "an immediate 100 basis point rate cut" to offset negative impacts, shifting economic contradictions onto the Federal Reserve. This move could also lower U.S. Treasury rates (which averaged 3.36% at the time), alleviating government debt pressure.
• Election Economic Packaging
To secure re-election in 2026, short-term economic data is needed for support. Manipulating the Federal Reserve to maintain ultra-low interest rates can create a false sense of prosperity, but it also sows the seeds for asset bubbles and inflation rebound risks.
• Building a Co-Governance Mechanism
According to internal plans, Trump attempted to require the Federal Reserve Chair to "consult the president before interest rate decisions" and place central bank regulations under White House review. The goal is to turn the president into an "informal member" of the interest rate committee, achieving a complete politicization of monetary policy.
