Former President Trump throws gasoline on the monetary policy debate—pushing for ultra-low interest rates as his economic legacy play.

Trump’s latest salvo? A public demand for the Federal Reserve to cut rates to 1%, framing it as a 'pro-growth masterstroke.' Critics eye inflation risks—but the ex-POTUS insists it’ll 'supercharge jobs, wages, and Main Street.'
Wall Street Rolls Its Eyes
Traders brace for volatility as political pressure collides with Fed independence. 'Because what could go wrong with artificially cheap money?' quipped one hedge fund manager—between sips of a $28 artisanal cold brew.
Love it or hate it, Trump’s move guarantees one thing: The 2024 election just got a splash of monetary policy drama.
