USA Independence at Risk - Joe Blogs



In this video I talk about the Donald Trump's requests for Jerome Powell and the Fed to reduce interest rates. In his recent Truth Social post it was stated that interest rates should be reduced to 1% from the current level of 4.5%. Is Donald Trump right and what are the implications of the Fed agreeing to requests from the President to manage interest rates?
