President Trump escalates his feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, questioning his intelligence and motives just hours before a crucial interest rate decision. Is this just politics, or is someone trying to cook the books?

Powell's Brain: More Like a Broken ATM?

Folks lemme tell ya sometimes I think I'm the only sane man in Albuquerque and now it looks like Washington too! The big cheese Donald Trump is calling out Fed Chair Jerome Powell. And not in a 'let's have a civil discussion over coffee' kind of way. Nope he's straight up saying Powell's 'stupid'! Now I've met a lot of 'stupid' people in my line of work – trust me I've defended half of them – but this is a whole new level. The President thinks the Fed's interest rates are too high costing the US 'hundreds of billions.' And you know what? Maybe he's got a point!

Europe's Cutting Rates We're Cutting Ourselves Off!

Trump's got a point see Europe over there? They had like 10 rate cuts. TEN! We're sitting here with rates higher than Jesse Pinkman on a Tuesday night. 'Europe had 10 cuts and we had none,' Trump laments. It's like watching someone else get all the free churros while you're stuck paying full price. And for what? Powell's worried about inflation? I've seen more inflation at a high school bake sale.

Political Guy or Just Plain Stubborn?

Trump is straight up calling Powell a political guy. The president thinks Powell might have it out for him. I mean stranger things have happened. Remember that time I convinced the jury that my client's pet iguana ate the evidence? People are crazy especially when money's involved.

Tariffs Inflation and Other Things That Go Boom!

Now Powell and his Fed buddies are supposedly worried about the impact of Trump's tariffs. And I'll give 'em this: tariffs are about as predictable as Walter White's mood swings. One minute he's cooking breakfast the next he's cooking up a new scheme. But Trump's saying the higher rates are costing the U.S. big time. Who's right? Who's wrong? All I know is someone's gonna end up paying the price.

Hates Me Hates the Economy Same Difference!

Trump even suggests Powell might just *hate* him. 'I don't even think he's that political. I think he hates me but that's OK.' That's some serious personal beef folks. When the President thinks the Fed Chair is out to get him you know things have gone from bad to worse. Maybe they need a mediator. (Saul Goodman is available for consultation.

Breaking News: My Phone's Ringing Off the Hook!

This is breaking news folks! And you know what that means? Opportunity! Everyone's scrambling trying to figure out what's going on. Is the economy going to tank? Are interest rates going to skyrocket? Should you invest in gold or bury your money in the backyard? (Pro tip: call Saul!) Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds. And remember when the going gets tough you don't want a criminal lawyer you want a *criminal* lawyer.
