Trump will just put out an executive order demanding the issue of Bonds, thus driving the effective rate down.

Nah, that is too complex for his base to understand. If rates aren't changed, he'll just blame the bad economy on the Fed. It's just a deflection.
He could. Inflation is bad for everyone, except for the rich who have most of their money in assets and can swiftly move between currencies.
America has mostly, but not fully, capitulated to a felon rapist traitor.
Not yet.
Trump is not supposed to have control over the Federal Reserve anyway.
Articles worded like this are giving Trump power he does not actually have. The Fed isn't defying anyone, they are independent.
Our media fucking sucks shit.
He doesn't have it yet.
History rhymes, and I do believe it will here too.
Considering how often they bowed to him last time, and then over-delayed under Biden, it's about time!
Does Trump want inflation or something?
Slash rates, increase COGS, decrease supply!
Any of those policies alone mean inflation. All of them together is disaster.
There’s a reason central banks don’t cut rates when times are good. Though one would argue times are not good at the moment…
He can blame them in the short term, until he finds the next thing to blame for his actions.
Trump is actively working in the interest of our geopolitical foes. He was installed to harm the United States.
I mean, yes, but he was also installed by our class foes. A lot of the wealthy in the US support what he is doing because they want to rule over the scraps that are left and they can jetset around the world in ways we cannot. They became "international wealthy" two decades ago and they no longer have allegiance to any specific country.
So it's our internal "foes" as well, the obscenely wealthy.
No argument. Our enemies are internal and external.
