“Plenty of people think U.S. President Donald Trump’s verbal shots at the central bank, complete with name-calling aimed at Powell, amount to pressure on the Fed’s independence. According to a Fox Business report, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, said Trump’s plan was to ‘install another sock puppet to complete his corrupt takeover of America’s central bank.’ Still, some voices are cutting through the noise, arguing that the idea of an independent U.S. Federal Reserve is merely fiction.” (01/13/26)
