🚨 Trump vs Powell: The rate cut showdown.
The Fed is about to announce its next interest rate decision — but Trump is already acting like the chairman.
He’s publicly pressuring Powell to slash rates… or else.
Trump’s message to the Fed?
🗣️ “If inflation keeps cooling and you don’t cut rates… I’ll force something.”
Markets are spooked — not just by what Powell will do, but by who’s really in charge of US monetary policy.
This isn’t the first time Trump has turned up the heat on Powell.
But now he’s doing it as President. Not as a candidate, not as an outsider — but as the most powerful man on Earth with an economic agenda.
Why it matters for crypto?
💥 Low rates = weaker dollar = stronger Bitcoin.
💥 Political meddling = institutional distrust = bullish for decentralized assets.
💥 Rate cuts = liquidity spike = risk-on rally.
Meanwhile, economic data is whispering:
🟢 Inflation is easing.
🟡 Labor market is softening.
🔴 Growth is stalling.
Perfect storm for a dovish pivot — or a market tantrum if Powell resists.
Powell’s dilemma:
✖️ Cut rates now = accused of bowing to Trump.
✖️ Hold steady = crash markets and risk recession.
✖️ Hike? That would be chaos.
Whatever he chooses, the Fed is no longer “independent.”
The crypto angle?
Smart money is watching Powell… but betting on Trump.
If this becomes political theatre, Bitcoin becomes the safe haven asset in a rigged fiat game.
The Fed’s announcement is tomorrow.
What markets want: clarity.
What Trump wants: control.
What Powell wants: a miracle.
Who wins? The one holding BTC.
