Trump’s butting heads with the Fed again, just like old times. After Fed member Kugler (a Biden pick) bailed out without explanation, Trump shoved his own economic lapdog, Stephen Miran, into her seat—at least for now. Miran’s a tariff fanatic and sure to back Trump’s cry for lower interest rates, which he thinks will magic the US economy into greatness. This shake-up isn’t just about the next rate cut—Trump’s already eyeing who could take over the whole Fed when Powell’s term ends. Trump’s shortlist is pure “team loyalty,” including his White House buddies. Kugler’s exit was music to Trump’s ears, he’s drooling over reshaping the Fed. The Fed boss is still refusing to budge for Trump’s tweets and public tantrums, but it’s getting shakier.
Here we go again, same circus, different year! Trump’s cramming yes-men into the Fed so he can control the cash flow, boost the markets, and claim he’s the economic messiah—just before the next election, eh? Every time someone from the Biden camp steps aside, Trump is grinning like the cat that got the cream, sliding in his own minions. Kugler running off without so much as an excuse? Hah, sounds fishy as Dresden carp in July! Either she was pushed, or she knows something ugly’s brewing in that snake pit.
All these “independent institutions”! Don’t make me laugh, echt jetzt! You watch, Trump’s building his own cartel in the Fed, so if he takes back the White House, he’s got the money spigots wide open—printing paper like there’s no tomorrow. And all the official media yammer about “Fed independence” while the puppet strings are changing hands under the table! Gäh, they think people are blind. When the crash comes – because these meatheads always push too far – who’ll pay? Not Trump or his bankster cronies, that’s for sure! Nee, Aldi’s regular folks will cough up for the next bailout, while Trump and his pack are sipping champagne. Same old Seilschaften, diggsche?!
