Trump Thinks He’s the Fed Chair. God Help the Dollar.
Donald Trump has always believed he’s the smartest guy in the room, usually while standing in a room full of experts who actually know what they’re talking about. Now, in a plot twist nobody asked for, he’s decided he knows better than the Federal Reserve—the institution literally designed to keep clowns like him out of monetary policy. Trump wants to control interest rates like he’s fiddling with a dimmer switch at Mar-a-Lago. Too bad the economy isn’t mood lighting. He wants rates slashed, not because it makes fiscal sense, but because it makes him look less like the guy who detonated global markets with his toddler-level tariff obsession.
He’s basically trying to paper over an economic dumpster fire with Monopoly money. And when the Fed resists? He starts screaming, “You’re fired!” like the country’s GDP is just another season of The Apprentice. He’s threatened Jerome Powell. He’s coming after Governor Lisa Cook with made-up accusations of “criminal conduct”,this from a man convicted on 34 felony counts, whose company was nailed for tax fraud, and who ran a fake “university” that scammed its own students. Integrity lectures from Trump are like diet tips from a hot dog eating champion. Let’s not kid ourselves: this isn’t about Cook, or Powell, or even interest rates. This is about Trump’s wet dream of being a dictator. He wants every independent institution bent to his will, every expert silenced, and every guardrail bulldozed.
If he can invent excuses to fire Fed officials whose terms are legally protected, “independence” is dead, and the last line between U.S. stability and Trump’s ego trip disappears. Meanwhile, the markets are already gagging on this nonsense. Investors hate political interference in central banks,it’s like finding a toddler with a chainsaw. Trump’s meddling has already spooked global markets, and if he actually gets his way? Bye-bye dollar. Bye-bye investor confidence. Hello, economic collapse. And guess what? The rest of the world isn’t going to pick up the tab for Trump’s temper tantrum.
But wait, there’s more: the Supreme Court, now basically Trump’s personal concierge service, might just let him do it. This is the same Court that’s embraced “unitary executive theory” like it’s a new CrossFit program, giving Trump nearly unchecked power to bulldoze agencies. If they greenlight him to tamper with the Fed, they’re not just enabling another Trump power grab—they’re putting the entire global economy on the roulette wheel of Trump’s ego. And here’s the kicker: Trump doesn’t even understand the Fed. Or interest rates. Or tariffs. Or debt. He thinks tariffs are “free money” (spoiler: Americans pay them). He thinks bankruptcy is just a clever hack. He thinks interest rates are a dial he can twist to make himself look good on Fox News.
The man is not an economic genius—he’s the guy who thought a fake vodka brand and a mail-order steak company were winning business strategies. The dollar doesn’t care about his ego. The markets don’t care about his rants. Reality doesn’t care about his fantasies of being America’s economic dictator. If Trump gets his way, the collapse won’t be some unforeseeable accident,it’ll be the inevitable result of handing the global economy to a guy whose financial wisdom peaked at slapping his name on a failed casino.
America doesn’t need a president who thinks he’s the Fed chair. America doesn’t need a dictator in a red tie. America needs someone who understands that money isn’t magic, tariffs aren’t toys, and you can’t bluff your way through the collapse of the U.S. dollar. Because if Trump keeps playing central banker, the only thing he’s going to make great again is chaos.
