The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

Interest rates need to be lowered immediately to prevent economic slowdown, as inflation is virtually non-existent and current Fed policy risks hampering growth and market performance. Trump is right to be taking a strong stance against Powell's damaging actions.

BreitbartDaily Wire

Anti-Trump narrative

The Federal Reserve must maintain its independence to effectively manage inflation and economic stability, as political interference in monetary policy historically leads to poor economic outcomes and reduced market confidence. Trump is the one causing stock market turmoil with incoherent, unpredictable economic policy.
