Shock And Awe
Heresy alert: Kevin Hassett said plainly, “Monetary policy must be independent”—“including from President Trump.” Heads exploded.
Poll Yoga, Flexible Minds
70% want independence; 59% of Republicans want Trump guidance. A CBS pollster whispered, “It’s Schrödinger’s Fed—free and following, depending on the segment.”
Inflation Soufflé, Courtesy Congress
Hassett warned: letting politicians run central banks is a “recipe for inflation.” Democrats cheered, “Perfect—grandma’s hyperinflation soufflé!” A hearing affirmed “independence” between fundraising calls.
Debt, Drama, And Desk Fans
$37 trillion towers. Trump wants cuts to juice growth; media screams “dictator.” Powell sips seltzer. Lisa Cook lawyers up. “For cause” now on tote bags.
MAGA Means Prosperity, Not Priesthood
Keep the Fed independent, demand transparency, grow the real economy. Trump wants paychecks up, prices down. MAGA > technocrat fairy dust. See you at cheaper gas.
