“the Obama regime and his sock puppet Janet Yellin?”
Another “wingman” of Obama’s.
Or Myron Brilliant.
It’s too bad so many people have never studied the corrupt and foreign beginnings of the federal(not) reserve(not). I’ve been to Jekyll Island.
Finish filling the Board of Governors and he'll have appointed six of the twelve members. But he's complaining about the ones he has appointed.
That's sarcasm, right?
He is preemptively warning them not to try that again in advance of the 2020 election.

I think fed chairman has to be the easiest job in government. Once a quarter they get up and flip a coin to decide whether to raise rates or not.
Actually, they work on the false premise that the Government can control a market economy by printing fiat currency.
:: Who do you think has been printing money like wild since the Vietnam War? ::
Uhhhh...the CIA?
America’s largest and most successful venture capital investor since the Vietnam war.
Why should Trump back off - the Fed’s hints at coming reductions in the rates is admission that Trump was right and they were wrong ....
Not my people. Sounds like a Joe South song.
The President has spent his life in business unlike most politicians who make their money by political exploitation. I expect President Trump to directly address these issues and applaud him for his knowledge in these areas. You should apologize to him for your mendacity.
The Fed has always been a big bankers’ money making racket. No body has ever audited the Fed. Trump needs to move past fighting with Powell, cut to the jugular and disband the Fed altogether. Just like the rip off on foreign trade the Fed has been ripping off the country under this contrived money system since its inception. Get rid of the Fed, move the country back to the gold standard and place the management of the country’’s finances where it is supposed to be, in the Treasury Department.
You don’t want politicians directly in charge of the central bank because of the temptation to print money and create a short-term inflationary boom. Interest rates are low, and the Federal Reserve is expected to cut the Fed Funds rate a few times this year. Trump should back off, since his Fed-bashing does not increase the chance they will act.

That has always been the commonly accepted line but it just does not wash. The Fed is nothing but a big banker scam. No one knows what they are doing except, as I understand it, they charge the U.S. interest on loans for money that is comes from the Treasury. They never have been audited. Ron Paul has been onto these crooks for decades, but no one seems to care. It’s similar to the rip off by foreign governments on trade that Trump is trying to straighten out. Believe Trump is on to these SOBs. They either reform or else. The ‘else’ with regard to the Fed is to do away with them completely.
Unfortunately Trump himself is still appointing people who aren’t his people. That has been his biggest weakness by far.
The only reason the Fed is backing off and will now likely lower rates in September and December is because Trump has stepped in and pressured them. Powell did tighten way too fast. We have a fragile housing market and the economy is still trying to recover.
The tariff war with China is likely going to cause problems with the markets for awhile. Rates need to remain low.
And any profit they earn, including the interest they collect, goes right back into the US Treasury.
