On Thursday, the President-a title that seems to grow more ironic with each passing day-resumed his public crusade against Powell, a campaign as relentless as it is misguided. This, mere hours after the Fed, with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, held rates steady and signaled a solitary cut for 2026. Trump’s pronouncements, as reported by Jinshi, follow a script as worn as an old vaudeville act, his attacks on Powell intensifying since the Iran conflict ignited on February 28. As recently as March 12, he took to Truth Social-a platform as apt for his brand of truth as a sieve is for holding water-to declare: “Where is the Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell, today? He should be dropping Interest Rates, IMMEDIATELY, not waiting for the next meeting!” A call as desperate as it is delusional, particularly as oil prices soar and inflation expectations climb.
