Part 2/7:
On the morning of the release, Trump took to Truth Social to express his dissatisfaction. He stated, "Jerome too late Pal must now lower the rate." Trump’s comments suggest impatience with the Fed's pace in adjusting interest rates, which he believes should be lowered immediately to sustain economic momentum. He also accused Steve Mnuchin, his Treasury Secretary, of providing “a beauty” when pushing back on earlier criticisms of the Fed and labeled Powell a “loser.”
