Economist Warns Trump To Spike Inflation?

In a desperate plea to preserve the status quo, former Obama-appointed Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen have launched a coordinated attack on President Donald Trump for challenging the unchecked power of the Federal Reserve.

In a joint op-ed published in The New York Times—a favorite outlet of the D.C. elite—the two warned Trump not to interfere with Fed Chair Jerome Powell or risk “permanent economic damage.” But for everyday Americans crushed by high interest rates, rising inflation, and a ballooning national debt, Trump’s pressure on the Fed is long overdue.

Trump Fights for Lower Rates—While the Fed Protects Big Banks

President Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for refusing to cut interest rates as the federal government racks up trillions in debt. Trump has made it clear: when Powell’s term ends in May, a new Fed chair who prioritizes the American people—not the global financial class—will take the reins.

Under Powell’s leadership, borrowing costs for families, retirees, and small businesses have soared. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to play defense for Washington’s reckless spending and Wall Street’s bottom line.

Bernanke and Yellen Defend the ‘Independence’ That Crushed Middle America

In their op-ed, Bernanke and Yellen claimed Trump’s efforts could “undermine Fed independence.” But what they really mean is Trump might return power to where it belongs—with voters, not bureaucrats.

They admitted Trump has the right to express his views, but urged him to pick a successor “who will keep politics out of monetary policy.” For many Americans, though, the Fed’s so-called neutrality has only resulted in shrinking retirement accounts, exploding mortgage rates, and a $1 trillion annual interest burden on the national debt.

Why This Matters to YOU

• Retirees: High interest rates erode fixed incomes and savings.
• Homeowners: Mortgage rates have doubled under Powell’s Fed.
• Taxpayers: Sky-high borrowing costs now devour over $1 trillion per year.
• Small Business Owners: Access to affordable credit is drying up fast.

Trump’s Plan: Restore Balance, End the Fed’s Political Games

While the D.C. elite lecture Americans about “financial responsibility,” Trump is ready to take bold action. His expected Fed nominee will be someone who cuts through the red tape, reduces rates, and puts American prosperity first.

Bottom Line

Trump isn’t threatening the economy—he’s fighting to save it. The real danger lies in a Fed more loyal to global bankers than to Main Street Americans.
