Trump’s Shocking Message To The Fed
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump is demanding action—and this time, it’s aimed squarely at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. According to Trump, the Fed’s refusal to lower interest rates is costing the United States hundreds of billions of dollars, hurting seniors, homeowners, and the middle class.
“Jerome Powell, who I call ‘Too Late,’ is draining our country of hundreds of billions of dollars. He’s absolutely one of the most clueless and harmful officials in government—and the Fed Board is standing by and allowing it,” Trump posted Thursday on Truth Social.
The Federal Reserve’s decision to hold the prime rate steady at 7.50% is triggering a growing backlash. Trump says it’s time for major interest rate cuts to combat the inflation crisis and reduce the exploding costs of Biden’s short-term debt binge.
“Europe has cut interest rates ten times. We’ve had ZERO cuts. We should be 2.5 points lower right now—and we’d be saving BILLIONS,” Trump added.
🔻 Trump: Americans Are Paying the Price for Powell’s Failures
President Trump is placing the blame for rising borrowing costs and stagnant economic relief directly on Powell’s shoulders.
For retirees and working-class families, high interest rates mean higher credit card bills, mortgage payments, and car loans—all while inflation continues to squeeze household budgets.
Trump emphasized:
“Despite Powell’s disastrous decisions, America is still strong. But we could be BOOMING with the right leadership at the Fed. Go for a full-point cut—Rocket Fuel!”
🔻 Powell Claims Tariffs Will Raise Prices—Trump Pushes Back
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell responded Wednesday by saying that inflation could rise as Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign imports are implemented.
“Ultimately, the cost of the tariff has to be paid, and some of it will fall on the end consumer,” Powell said during a press conference.
But Trump fired back, defending his America-First trade strategy.
“Tariffs protect American jobs. Powell’s excuses protect globalist interests—not our people,” Trump posted.
🔻 Conservatives Rally Behind Trump’s Call to Cut Rates Now
Trump’s criticism isn’t isolated. Late Wednesday, he highlighted support from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, who publicly urged Powell to lower rates—or resign.
“Powell—‘Too Late’—is a complete disaster. He’s clueless and costing our country billions!” Trump shared on Truth Social.
With growing pressure mounting and no relief from the Federal Reserve, many conservatives and financial experts agree: Jerome Powell’s time may be running out.
Bottom Line:
As President Trump leads the charge for lower interest rates and smarter monetary policy, American retirees, homeowners, and business owners are watching closely. The stakes are high—and Trump is making it clear: It’s time to put America First again, starting with the Federal Reserve.
