The Fed's held rates at XXXX% since Dec '24 while Trump's tariffs pushed inflation to XXX% - a textbook case of economic arsonists demanding firefighters lower the hoses.  

Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs created $300B in new trade barriers, yet he attacks Powell for maintaining rate stability. The admin's manufactured chaos - tariffs + $2.5B Fed building renovation sideshow - forces the Fed to choose between inflation containment & political survival. June's PCE spike proves you can't tariff your way to prosperity while burning rate-cut effigies.  

When the arsonist runs the fire department, expect ashes - not recovery.
