Living Under a Rock? WashPost Editorial Board Whines Trump Supposedly ‘Politicizing’ Fed
21st July 2025
Here’s a rule of thumb: Anybody who thinks that the Federal Reserve isn’t innately a political entity should have his head examined. But the collective of prefrontal cortex-challenged geniuses on The Washington Post editorial board are acting as if this politicization only started when President Donald Trump started putting pressure on Chairman Jerome Powell to lower interest rates.
This gives new meaning to the term “headcase.”
The Post’s July 15 editorial was about as clear an attempt to drum up cheap scare porn as it gets. “Trump’s attacks on the Fed are worse than you think,” the editorial board cried. With Trump, it’s always “worse than you think.”
“Politicizing the Federal Reserve could unmoor inflation expectations and drive up borrowing costs.” “Unmoor inflation?” Really? And who exactly does the newspaper think was largely responsible for unmooring the 40-year high inflation crisis by arbitrarily overloading the money supply in the first place?
