#Gate广场圣诞送温暖 Trump openly threatens: fire people if interest rates are not lowered! The Fed's December interest rate meeting hides a political storm.

The fryer is on! Trump staged a direct "palace coup" at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, threatening Treasury Secretary Basent in front of all the guests: "If you don't manage to lower interest rates soon, I'm out of here!" Before the words were out of his mouth, he pointed his finger directly at Fed Chairman Powell, stating, "I want to fire him right now," and revealed that Commerce Secretary Lutnik supports this decision, while Basent desperately advised, "He only has three months left in his term." This public power struggle completely exposes the internal economic policy war within the White House!
What’s even stranger is that the October non-farm payroll data, which was supposed to be released at this time, has been postponed until after the December interest rate meeting. The Fed has lost its most basic gauge of the job market! Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff policy continues to drive up inflation—Goldman Sachs’ latest report shows that tariffs have caused core personal consumption expenditures to rise by 0.44%, and it is expected that the inflation rate will reach 3% by the end of the year. This has created a vicious cycle: tariffs drive up inflation → the Fed dares not cut interest rates → Trump intensifies the pressure.
Trump's ambitions go far beyond this. In addition to targeting Powell, he is also attempting to expand his influence on the board by appointing Fed Governor Cook. Currently, there are already 3 members considered to be dovish on the 7-member Fed board, and if Trump installs more loyalists, it will directly disrupt the voting balance. Even more concerning is that the terms of all regional Fed presidents will expire at the end of February 2026 — this means Trump has the opportunity to fully reshape the power dynamics of the Fed!
Now, everyone's attention is focused on the December interest rate meeting. At that time, the Fed will face a triple dilemma:
🔴 Lack of October non-farm data
🔴 The inflation outlook is shrouded in uncertainty.
🔴 Internal divisions continue to escalate
And Trump has hinted that he may announce a new chairman in the coming weeks. This astonishing coincidence in timing raises suspicions that political pressure is becoming an invisible driving force influencing the Fed's decisions!
The ultimate game of power and money has just begun...
