Trump’s Fed Fiasco: Rate Cuts, Tariffs, and Egg Prices 🥚📉

by

In a move that surprised no one, the ever-volatile Donald Trump has once again taken to X, this time to demand that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell slash interest rates. With the confidence of a man who’s never met a microphone he didn’t like, Trump declared it the “PERFECT time” for such a cut, all while accusing Powell of “playing politics.” Because, of course, Trump would never do such a thing. 🙄

This latest outburst comes as Trump’s tariff policies continue to raise eyebrows—and blood pressure—among economists. But hey, who needs economic stability when you’ve got tweets, right?

Trump’s Masterclass in Timing (Or Lack Thereof)

Trump’s rationale? Lower energy prices, inflation, and even the cost of eggs (yes, eggs 🥚) are proof that the economy is thriving. Because nothing says “economic prosperity” like affordable breakfast staples. He also took a swipe at Powell’s past decisions, claiming the Fed Chair has been “late” to the party. Because if there’s one thing Trump knows, it’s punctuality. 🕒

“This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates,” Trump wrote, because subtlety is for amateurs.

Meanwhile, the U.S. labor market is flexing its muscles, adding 228,000 jobs in March. But Trump, ever the optimist, sees this as just another reason to cut rates. Because why settle for a strong economy when you can have a *stronger* one? 💪

Not to be outdone, Powell fired back, warning that Trump’s tariffs could lead to slower growth and higher inflation. Because nothing says “economic stability” like a trade war, right? Powell even raised the specter of stagflation, because apparently, we needed another thing to worry about. 😬
