🇺🇸 TRUMP IS PRESSING THE FED TO SLASH RATES — HE WANTS 3–4 POINTS DOWN TO 1% 🔥
Donald Trump is again publicly demanding deep rate cuts from the Federal Reserve — telling policymakers they should push the policy rate sharply lower, by multiple percentage points, toward levels near 1%. He’s been vocal all year about wanting faster and bigger easing than officials currently plan.
This isn’t a quiet suggestion — it’s political pressure. Trump has repeatedly posted and spoken about cutting rates by “two to three” points or more, arguing that lower rates will boost housing, growth, and reduce interest costs on the national debt. Some outlets report he has pushed for cuts as large as three points; his messaging implies he would favor even deeper easing if the Fed were willing.
But the Fed isn’t a political arm of the White House. Officials continue to stress data-driven decision making and remain split over how aggressively to ease. Market and polling evidence suggests economists expect only modest cuts at upcoming meetings (for example, a small cut is widely priced into December meetings), not the multi-point move the President is urging. That gap between political appetite and central-bank caution matters — it shapes market volatility and financial conditions.
Here’s what to watch next:
Watch Fed communications and the December meeting closely — officials will reiterate their inflation and labor-market views.
Look for market reactions if Trump renews public pressure; bond yields, mortgage rates, and risk assets could swing quickly.
Track headlines on tariffs and fiscal moves that the White House claims justify faster cuts — the Fed weighs those fiscal risks in its outlook.
