## Resource

Trump’s latest pressure campaign on the Fed hits hard as they raise rates for the first time since 2023 — he’s demanding a cut to just 1%, calling the U.S. the world’s best credit and accusing America of footing global bills. The Fed, however, sticks to its inflation-fighting stance, hiking rates by 25 basis points to a new target range of 3.75%–4%. This isn’t the first time Trump has clashed with monetary policy — last week he even threatened trade retaliation against surplus nations unless rates drop. A tense dance between political will and economic reality unfolds. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
