  • ECB’s Lagarde warns of risk to world economy via Trump interference on Fed

    From brecorder.com

    Steps by US President Donald Trump to remove Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell or Fed governor Lisa Cook would represent a “very serious danger for the US economy and the world economy”, said European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on Monday. Trump has repeatedly attacked the Fed’s chair, Jerome Powell, for not cutting the short-term interest rate and threatened to fire him. Trump is also attempting to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. “If U.S. monetary policy were no longer independent and instead dependent on the dictates of this or that person, then I believe that the effect on the ...

I agree with the sentiment of Ms. Lagarde's statement. What happens when a president tries to bend the Federal Reserve to his will? We're witnessing this dangerous experiment as President Trump appears to be reshaping the Fed through loyal nominations and reportedly pressuring officials like Lisa Cook to step down. This isn't just Washington politics—it's a direct assault on the bedrock of global financial trust. Think about it: if international investors lose faith in our financial independence, they could abandon U.S. Treasuries en masse. The fallout? A confidence crisis that might take generations to repair. And it doesn't stop at monetary policy—just look at how Trump replaced the Bureau of Labor Statistics head who dared question his employment figures. Even without explicitly manipulating data, these moves send shivers through markets worldwide. The invisible shield between politics and our financial system exists for a reason—once broken, our entire economic stability hangs in the balance.

{quote} Oh, and I would raise your bet and go on a bit of a tangent about something that has become demonstrably obvious with Trump. Lagarde is well within her rights to point out some truths. A shame so many other people in high office from outside the US do not have the fortitude to show leadership and articulate what is developing. Because it seems like nobody in authority within the US can speak out without serious implications. I witness comments about the Supreme Court even being challenged ought it not allow Trump to get his way. Wow. Just...
Presidents shouldn't be worshipped and how in the hell did this happen when republicans have such a slim
margin of votes. The system is broken and this shit will continue no mater which side is in power.

There is clearly a highly focused, carefully planned and very significant change in the way government is carried out in the United States.

Something called the Unitary Executive Theory is based on the proposition that the president should have complete executive authority over every part of the federal government. This short Wiki entry makes a good introduction, and where Trump fits in.

Sorry, Shultz, it's not hate whatsoever. Simply put, she has absolutely NO jurisdiction over the United States. So stop making my comment anything that what it is. That's like me calling you a leftist radical which, I'm sure, is not who you are.

I believe in the inalienable rights of man, embodied by the Constitution of the United States NOT British monarchy, and NOT centralized banking that threatens those inalienable rights and replaces them with the lust for money. Money should serve the people, not the private banking cartels. That's the truth, if you believe it. When someone tries to bind you with rope do you lay there and do nothing, or do you extricate yourself. The U.S. is extricating itself from the bondage of the City of London and all it's money-whoring subjects.

It's not hate and vile. She doesn't represent the United States at all. Maybe a better word to use, than hate and vile, would be bossy and out of her realm of stewardship.

Europe has embraced the City of London banking system, NOT the concept of inalienable rights of man which is the bedrock of the American system. Lagarde is the epitome of City of London.

Meanwhile China have just proclaimed its leadership in the global governance. Gone are the EU politicians and their mediocre management.
