Trump's Fed Chair Pick: Warsh on the Horizon?

Another Monster Another Day

Well toss a coin to your witcher because this news cycle is proving just as monstrous as any griffin I've faced. Trump's about to name a new head honcho for the Federal Reserve and the whispers in the taverns – or rather the financial news outlets – say it's Kevin Warsh. Seems like another day another headache. The world of economics... it's all interconnected like a bloody striga's curse.

Warsh: Not Just Another Pretty Face

They say Warsh has the experience. "Respect and credibility," according to some fancy suit on CNBC. Good for him. Apparently he won't be Trump's puppet which is more than I can say for some monarchs I've dealt with. Speaking of puppets you know this reminds me of the time I had to deal with a doppler impersonating King Foltest. At least this time the stakes are just the economy and not a cursed royal lineage.

The Endless Candidate Carousel

Eleven candidates whittled down like monsters for a bounty. Bessent screened them apparently. Sounds like a glorified witcher's contract. Now it's down to Warsh Hassett Waller and Rieder. A veritable who's who of… well people I've never met in a tavern. Prediction markets betting on the outcome? That's rich. Reminds me of Gwent only with higher stakes and less charming dwarves.

Trump's Timing: The Art of the Deal... or the Deadline

Trump says the pick could've been made "a few years ago." Probably should have eh? The White House is denying everything naturally. "A waste of everyone's time," says some White House mouthpiece. Says the man paid to talk to the press ha. It's always a fun game of 'who leaked what' in these cases isn't it. Reminds me of the time Triss and Yennefer tried to outmaneuver each other during the Thanedd coup. Now that was a spectacle. I am pretty sure this will be also quite a show lets grab some popcorn shall we?

Powell's Uncertain Fate

And what of Powell? Lingering like a specter deciding whether to stay on as a governor. Decisions decisions. You know people underestimate the power of simply walking away. Sometimes it's the wisest move. I myself had to decide whether to stay at Kaer Morhen or travel the world. I know I have done the right thing. But I cannot tell what will happen to mister Powell and whether he is doing the right thing. Time will tell.

The Witcher's Take: Steady as a Stone Troll

Bottom line: Warsh seems the likely choice. Will he be good for the economy? Who knows. All I know is the world keeps spinning monsters keep lurking and I'll keep getting paid to deal with them. And now I should probably be off to the nearest tavern. I hear they have Gwent tournaments there. Not everything is doom and gloom. If I were to invest it would be in the right Gwent cards.
