Trump Says Economy Can Grow 15% With Next Fed Chair Kevin Warsh And Here’s How

Kevin Warsh isn’t even the Fed Chair yet and yet and yet he’s already taking flak from Donald Trump. The latest comes from an interview with Fox Business on Monday in which El Presidente said if Warsh “does the job that he’s capable of, then we can grow at 15 per cent, I think more than that.”

Although, looking at the plan here, Trump was on Powell’s back because he wouldn’t cut the interest rates. Now Warsh is Trump’s lackey so will be primed to cut interest rates multiple times. Too large a cut could increase inflation. So then with more inflation, would Warsh really deliver that 15% growth that Trump is implying?

Are we just going to get the same thing again, Trump appoints this guy and then gets mad when he starts doing his job?

Because it seems like, regarding Powell and as evidenced by Trump’s latest comments, the President seems to think that the Fed Chair has more power than he does. As if the guy can just wave his wand and decree that the economy can be good from now on. Sure, the Fed does have some sway, but it’s mostly reactive and at the whims of the hugely complicated tides of the global economy.
