Trump and his allies are crying “election interference” over the Federal Reserve’s decision to slash interest rates

After months of complaining about the crippling burden of high interest rates and expensive borrowing, Republicans for some strange reason don’t seem too happy that the Federal Reserve has moved to do something about it.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced it is cutting interest rates by half a percentage point. It’s the first cut since 2020 and a long-awaited decrease to historically high interest rates.

    I’m not wrong; I’m just describing a different aspect of the situation than you are. I’m explaining what he’s doing, while you’re explaining how he deludes himself into thinking he’s justified for doing it.

      You said his original plan was to use violence.

      I’m saying his original plan was to not need violence, obviously he would win legitimately, he’s Donald J Trump.

      And if there’s any chance his enemies will try to steal what’s rightfully his (ie America), he will use as much violence as he can to make them forever regret it.
