May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor... or Trump's? He's at it Again With the Fed!

Another Day Another Mockingjay Message?

Well folks looks like the arena's back in session and this time it's Trump versus… the Federal Reserve? Honestly after surviving the Hunger Games I thought I was done with power struggles. But here we are. Apparently Trump is not thrilled with Jerome Powell calling him 'destructive' after the Fed decided to keep interest rates steady. Maybe Powell just needs a good mockingjay pin to turn things around who knows?

The Rate Race: Who's on Whose Side?

According to Trump Powell is costing the United States 'hundreds of billions of dollars' by not cutting rates. He even suggested we should be '2.5 Points lower.' I'm no economist but even I know that numbers that big can change the game. You know like when the Gamemakers adjust the arena rules mid game. Makes you wonder who's really pulling the strings doesn't it?

Political Games: Dumber Than a Tracker Jacker?

Trump didn't stop there. He called Powell a 'real dummy' in a late night rant on Truth Social. Ouch. Harsh words even for Panem's standards. He also said Powell is 'a political guy who's not a smart person.' I've dealt with my fair share of 'not smart' people in power and let me tell you it's never a good time. It's like being stuck in a Capitol fashion show – all show no substance.

Europe's Got Ten Cuts and We've Got… Nothing?

Trump pointed out that Europe has had '10 cuts,' while the U.S. has had none. He even mused about appointing himself to lead the Federal Reserve. Can you imagine? President Trump deciding interest rates? It's like putting Peeta in charge of the bakery… except instead of bread it's the entire economy. No offense Peeta but your skills are better suited for icing.

Waiting for the Whistle... or Trump's Pick?

Powell whose term ends in 2026 said they're 'well positioned to wait.' Wait for what? Another Trump tweet? Another economic disaster? It's all just a waiting game like waiting for the Gamemakers to drop a sponsor gift. You never know what you're going to get... or who Trump will nominate next.

May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor... Or Not

So here we are back in the arena of political squabbles. Trump versus Powell interest rates versus… well sanity maybe? All I know is I'm glad I'm not the one having to navigate this mess. May the odds be ever in your favor America. You're gonna need it.
