Trump demands Fed slash rates to 1950s levels (4.25%→2%) while his tariffs push inflation above 2%—a math problem even MAGA can’t maga. The Fed’s held rates steady for X meetings since January, refusing to bail out an admin that imposed XX% tariffs on $3T in imports then cried about price hikes.  

July’s $2.5B Fed building renovation spat reveals priorities: Trump cares more about real estate than real economics. His steel/aluminum tariffs added $120B/year to business costs, yet he expects rate cuts to offset self-inflicted wounds. Markets know Powell’s playing long game—62% odds of September cut vs admin’s panic.  

When presidents treat interest rates like hotel room service, democracy’s room key gets revoked. Autocracy arrives by FedEx.
