Fed Governor Cook Fires Back After Trump Demands Her Resignation
Political Pressure Meets Monetary Policy Stance
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook isn't backing down—not after former President Trump's very public call for her resignation. The clash puts central bank independence squarely in the crosshairs just as monetary policy hangs in delicate balance.
Cook's response? Measured, firm, and utterly dismissive of political interference. She reaffirmed her commitment to data-driven decisions—exactly what markets want to hear amid swirling volatility.
Because when politicians try to strong-arm the Fed, it's not just institutional integrity on the line—it's the entire economy's stability. And as any cynical finance pro will tell you: nothing tanks a portfolio faster than a central bank losing its nerve—or its autonomy.
