US-Präsident #Trump hat im Streit um die Zinspolitik der #Notenbank Federal Reserve den Druck erhöht.
Trump sagte, er müsse vielleicht etwas erzwingen, sollte Fed-Chef #Powell den #Leitzins hoch halten. Genauer äußerte sich der Präsident nicht. Er beschimpfte Powell als einen „Hohlkopf". Zugleich bekräftigte Trump, den Notenbankchef nicht entlassen zu wollen. Dies wäre rechtlich auch nicht ohne Weiteres möglich.

JUST IN: #Trump really said #Powell won’t cut rates because he’s “not in love” with him.

That’s where we’re at, monetary policy now hinges on whether the Fed chair finds Trump emotionally irresistible.

We’re living in a parody of a reality show hosted by a #felon.

#Powell: "If the large increases in #tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in #economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

The #Fed policies are set by a board, not just #Powell, right? If so, Why's #Trump got such a hard-on for Powell to lower rates or exit his position?
