In particular, Trump notes that “because Jay Powell and Fed failed to stop the problem they created with inflationI will do it by releasing American energy production, reducing the regulation, restoring international trade and rejuvenating American processing, but I will do much more than stop inflation, I will make our country financially, and not only again, strong again ! “

Noting that the Fed has done a very bad job in bank regulation, Trump continues: “The Treasury will lead the effort to cut unnecessary regulation and release lending to all American citizens and businesses. If the Fed had spent less time on Dei, gender ideology, “green” energy and false climate change, inflation would never be a problem. Instead, we have suffered from the worst inflation in our country’s history! “
