He wasn’t slow on lowering interest rates, he was slow to raise them. Back under Biden they should have raised rates faster to offset the rising inflation.
However, under Trump there isn’t any evidence yet that rates should be lower. In fact the Fed board has been split on raise/lower/hold rates, due to persistent inflation (due to tariffs and crazy economic policy) and a slowing economy (due to tarrifs and crazy economic policy). Basically, with an admin dead set on ruining the economy, doing anything with the rates seems likely to just accelerate things from bad to worse.



I like you’re assumption that’s not already happening. Trump doesn’t have the capacity to orchestrate what’s currently going on, there is definitely multiple people using him for their own interests.
