Anon honestly can't believe how many people believe the 'Fed' is a US government agency. It is a privately (family) owned bank run by the Bank of International Settlements based in Switzerland and the President has no say in who runs it. They create money out of thin air, 'loan' it to the US govt who then uses taxpayer dollars to cover the trillions of dollars in interest that continually accumulates annually on a magically created fiat currency. Powell does not give a fuck what Trump or Scott Bessent thinks because the Fed and all Central Banks around the world don't answer to anyone except the cabal that runs them, and yes that is almost every country across the realm, except for the few that are vilified and eventually destabilized for not playing along (see Libya.} Anons can probably guess what countries those are simply by watching the MSM programming.
