Trump Drops Verbal Nukes on the Fed: You Won’t Believe What He Said About “Golden Age”

by

Thursday, America. President Donald “My Buttons Are YUGE” Trump took time off from not golfing to give Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell a nice shiny label—“fool.” Because nothing says economic leadership like roasting your own central banker on social media 🍿.

Trump Heats Up Fed with the Verbal Flamethrower 🔥

Trump, never one to miss an opportunity for drama (he’s got a brand to maintain), fired off another round of grade-A, USDA-certified insults at Jerome Powell—who, let’s be honest, hasn’t had this much attention since his high school chess club. On Wednesday, the Fed decided to keep their benchmark rate chilling between 4.25% and 4.5%. Meanwhile, Fed wizards muttered stuff about “risks” of scary inflation and unemployment, but traders weren’t surprised, because—say it with me—everybody saw this coming like a slow train with terrible Wi-Fi.

Fast forward to the morning after: Trump jumps onto Truth Social, courageously armed with ALL CAPS and confetti emojis we can only assume he withheld for national emergencies, and announces, “The Golden Age of America is coming!” Gold-plated, naturally. Then, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, he chirps again that, sure, Powell is likeable—but as sharp as a bowling ball. In the words of Master Trump:

‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell is a FOOL, who doesn’t have a clue. Other than that, I like him very much! Oil and Energy way down, almost all costs (groceries and ‘eggs’) down, virtually NO INFLATION, Tariff Money POURING Into the U.S. — THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF ‘TOO LATE!’ ENJOY!

This high-energy pillow fight follows Trump’s earlier hints that Powell should try another line of work, like, I don’t know, rodeo clown or reality show judge. Meanwhile, the White House is cozying up to the Supreme Court with a little request: “Mind if we fire our independent regulators if the mood strikes?” Plot twist: many think this is just Act One in a legal slapstick setting up Powell’s grand exit—hopefully with a laugh track.

Not to be outdone, Beijing’s cracking open its piggy bank, slashing rates and flooding the market with $138.5 billion. Yes, billion! Because what says “don’t panic” like pouring sugar water onto an anthill of economic woes? The whole goal is to get people borrowing, shopping, building, and—according to some officials—maybe even smiling, though that remains unconfirmed.
