Is Trump right to pressure Jerome Powell to cut the Federal Funds Rate?
I don't think it really matters. This whole thing looks more like a political fight between parties with conflicting interests. The rates won't change much. But right now since Trump has managed to force the Arab dictator to increase production and lower the oil price, his speculation is inflation coming down so he is pushing for lower rates to battle the recession.
The rates are coming down one way or another baby, that is what you don't understand here. Either Powell does it willingly or he is out, the latest by May. There is no chance for him otherwise. It is not a matter of if but when.
He has already cut the funding for far more important stuff like universities budgets just because students were protesting against him...
They were protesting regarding Israel and Palestine, not trump. Do you have CNN turned on 24 hours in your home? Don't make shit up.
