美国总统与美联储的“战争”，火力全开

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing conflict between President Trump and the Federal Reserve has intensified, particularly targeting Fed Governor Cook, with accusations of mortgage fraud and calls for her resignation [1][4]. Group 1: Trump's Influence on the Federal Reserve - Trump's criticism of the Federal Reserve, particularly Chairman Powell, has been consistent since his first term, but his control over federal institutions has increased during his second term, raising market concerns about his potential influence over the Fed [3][4]. - If Cook resigns or is dismissed, Trump could appoint a loyalist, increasing his allies on the Fed's Board from three to four, thereby enhancing his control over monetary policy [4][6]. Group 2: Implications of Federal Reserve Independence - Historically, the independence of central banks has allowed them to manage inflation effectively without political pressure, a principle that many economists view as sacred [6][7]. - Trump's economic advisor, Stephen Moore, has expressed skepticism about the Fed's independence and has advocated for reforms that would give the president greater control over the Fed's governance structure [7][8]. Group 3: Potential Economic Consequences - If Trump were to gain full control over the Fed and push for aggressive rate cuts, it could lead to inflationary pressures reminiscent of the stagflation crisis prior to the 1980s, which could ultimately harm his political standing [8].
