Donald Trump says he wants full control over the Federal Reserve—firing governors until he gets a majority that will slash rates. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street:
  • Why Trump’s Fed takeover is dangerous for America’s financial credibility
  • Why cutting rates won’t magically fix the housing market
  • How “independence” at the Fed keeps the dollar the world’s reserve currency
  • And why giving any president this power—left or right—is a recipe for disaster
This isn’t about interest rates. It’s about whether America’s financial system stays trusted—or turns into a political circus.
