Stephen Moore: Jerome Powell’s Speech Last Week Was ‘the Most Outrageous Partisan Attack Against a New President That I’ve Ever Seen’
EXCERPT:
MOORE: “Well, let me say that there are problems in the supply chain, no question about it, with the tariff talk. And I think that’s another reason that Trump is basically looking for ways to reduce those tariffs, so that we don’t see higher prices when we go to Walgreens or we go to Home Depot and these other stores. With respect to Jerome Powell, I would say that we were all outraged, that is, those who favor Trump, by the speech that was given by Jerome Powell last week. It was really — I have been following this for four years. I thought it was the most outrageous partisan attack against a new president that I’ve ever seen. And I think it was out of bounds. And it didn’t take into account all the positive things that Trump are doing on the economy. Now, that being said, and people like myself were saying, Jerome Powell has to go, but the markets clearly don’t want Jerome Powell out. They don’t want him out right now.”
