@realDonaldTrump · Jan 30, 2026

I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Kevin Warsh to be the CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. Kevin currently serves as the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution, and Lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Trump nominates Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve chair to succeed Jerome Powell

From cnbc.com

President Donald Trump on Friday named Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair, ending a five-month odyssey that has seen unprecedented turmoil around the central bank. The decision culminates a process that officially began last summer but started much earlier than that, with Trump launching a fusillade of criticism against the Powell-led Fed almost since Powell took the job in 2018. “I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” said Trump in a Truth Social post announcing the selection. The pick of ... (full story)

One person alone doesn't decide interest rates. The total vote count is what matters; if the majority votes against a rate cut, Kevin cannot lower rates by himself
There are always 12 voting members on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) who decide on interest rates at each meeting. Each member, including the Chair, casts a single, equal vote, and decisions are made by a simple majority.

Yesterday, Gold moved like crazy and damaged my account too. I don't know if Mr. Warsh is a "Hawk" or "Dove" (I heard he changed his mind recently?), but I really hope he can bring some stability to the market. Too much volatility is bad for my heart. Please stay safe everyone.

For those who blamed others for their losses... "You're not that guy yet, bro" Maybe you should consider another career because in order to be successful in this game, you must take full accountability for your own action, and until then, you'll end up exactly where you are today. This is not me bashing you, but it's the reality of every person that is at the top today. Definitely not by pointing fingers at someone else when you're the one that got in the trade in the first place... Heat this message if you wanna try again because I'll be here taking your money again and again until you learn this lesson. THE BEATING CONTINUES UNTIL MORAL IS IMPROVED

He's a hack, he was wrong about everything during the financial crisis and was likely picked due to the fact his father in law is Ron Lauder, a billionaire Trump donor who's encouraging the invasion and capture of Greenland.

From 2017, when he was on Trump's list then for Fed chair:

His [Warsh’s] specialty was seeing inflation problems that didn't exist. He warned about inflation in 2006 when, excluding volatile food and energy prices, it was just 2.1 percent. Then he did in 2007 when it was 2 percent by the same measure. And again in 2008 when core prices were rising a relatively nonthreatening 2.3 percent, going so far as to say that he was “still not ready to relinquish my concerns on the inflation front” the day after Lehman Brothers failed.

What Warsh wasn't worried about, though, were all the risks banks had been taking that would ultimately require them to be bailed out. A few months before the credit crunch began in 2007, Warsh even said that “an important source of strength has been financial innovation,” highlighting the purported benefits of credit default swaps and other derivatives that Warren Buffett would go on to call “financial weapons of mass destruction.” This was supposed to be Warsh's area of expertise."
