Oops!... He Did It Again: Trump Calls Powell 'Too Late,' Is History Repeating? Toxic!

Not a Girl Not Yet a (Financial) Expert

Okay dolls so Daddy Trump is calling Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell 'Too Late' again? Seriously? It's like 'Oops!... He Did It Again!' He's saying Powell is a 'FOOL' who 'doesn't have a clue.' Oh honey political shade is real! But this article is making me think are these Fed peeps always behind the beat? Are they gonna make me...crazy?

Gimme More (Time to Decide)

Apparently this isn't new. This article talks about Arthur Burns Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke all getting heat for not acting fast enough. Like hello! Are they just waiting for the smoke to clear before they even start the car? 'My loneliness is killing me!' (Hit Me Baby One More Time!) but seriously waiting too long could kill the economy!

Stronger (Than Yesterday's Economy?)

This economist Dan North from Allianz Trade North America is like 'The Fed is always late both ways!' They're so worried about messing up that they end up messing up anyway. It's like trying to perfect a dance routine and then tripping over your own feet on stage. Talk about toxic! But North says Powell is in a no win situation because of Trump's tariffs so maybe doing nothing is the right move? I'm confused. Do you see me?

Lucky (Or Just Waiting for Clarity?)

Trump's ranting that there's 'virtually NO INFLATION,' but the article also says his tariffs haven't really hit the economy yet. So is he right or is he just being... well you know? Surveys are showing businesses and consumers are worried but Powell is all 'Everything's solid!' Is he just trying to stay positive or is he totally clueless? (Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know please!)

I'm Not a Robot (Just Trying to Understand This)

Powell's not rushing to cut rates even though everyone's worried. He says there's 'no real cost to waiting,' but some expert is saying that's a mistake! And then there's the fact that the Fed totally goofed on calling inflation 'transitory' back in 2021. Now they're super cautious. So are we doomed to repeat history?

Oops!... We're in a Recession (Maybe)

Another economist Joseph LaVorgna says the Fed is gonna miss this call too. He thinks they're too focused on the labor market which is always the last to know when a recession is coming. 'Economic history combined with current market pricing suggests there's a real risk the Fed will be too late.' So yeah. Sounds like we're all just waiting for the 'Toxic' economy to hit. Let's hope we can all handle it... 'Cause I'm stronger than yesterday!
