Trump has just published a couple of tweets knocking the fed again and this time suggesting that the Fed chairman is the enemy:
As usual, the Fed did NOTHING! It is incredible that they can “speak” without knowing or asking what I am doing, which will be announced shortly. We have a very strong dollar and a very weak Fed. I will work “brilliantly” with both, and the U.S. will do great…

….My only question is, who is our bigger enemy, Jay Powell or Chairman Xi?

And not just any enemy, but a bigger enemy than China???
Regardless of what you think about the fed, this kind of rhetoric is ridiculous. Especially when you consider that Trump appointed Powell to the Fed back in 2017!
Whatever happened to “I hire the best people”?
