Donald Trump is taking his battle with Jerome Powell to the doorstep of the Federal Reserve. Literally. <\/p>\n

\n

The president will be visiting the central bank at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, returning to the White House a little over an hour later, per his public schedule.<\/p>\n

The move is unusual for a number of reasons. Primarily, because this is the first visit by a president to the central bank in nearly two decades\u2014and only the fourth visit from the Oval Office in history. <\/p>\n

The context of this visit also raises eyebrows, as President Trump and his cabinet have been continually lobbying and criticizing the Fed since winning the Oval Office in January. <\/a><\/p>\n

In the past, visits from the president to the Fed have been viewed as endorsements\u2014both of the chairman at the time and of the Fed\u2019s independence as a whole. <\/p>\n

For example, the last visit came from George W. Bush on Feb. 6, 2006, when he attended the swearing-in ceremony for his nominee, Ben S. Bernanke, as the fourteenth chairman of the Fed.<\/p>\n

Bush\u2019s attendance was seen as a backing not only of Bernanke but also of the independent nature of the Fed. When announcing his nomination<\/a>, Bush told reporters in the Oval Office: \u201cIn our economy, the Fed is the independent body responsible for setting monetary policy, for overseeing the integrity of our banking system, for containing the risk that can arise in financial markets, and for ensuring a functioning payment system. <\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the world, the Fed is the symbol of the integrity and the reliability of our financial system, and the decisions of the Fed affects the lives and livelihoods of all Americans.\u201d <\/p>\n

Prior to Bush\u2019s visit, the most recent example of a president visiting the Fed had been President Ford in July of 1975\u2014again for a swearing-in ceremony in which the independence of the central bank was lauded. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the confirmation of Philip C. Jackson as chairman, President Ford said<\/a>: \u201cThe essence of the Federal Reserve System is independence. Independence of both the congress and the president, as well as the individual independence thought of each of its governors. I firmly and completely respect that independence.\u201d <\/p>\n

The final example\u2014but the first visit of its kind\u2014came in 1937 when President Roosevelt attended the opening of the board\u2019s first building\u2014the Eccles office which President Trump will likely be visiting today.<\/p>\n

Trump vs the Fed so far<\/h2>\n

Even before Trump won the election, there were signs he may cause trouble for chairman Jerome Powell. Despite being the president to nominate Powell for the role, he made veiled threats about the security of the chairman\u2019s role. He told Bloomberg<\/a>: \u201cI would let him serve [his term] out, especially if I thought he was doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back then, the \u201cright thing\u201d in Trump\u2019s mind was not to cut interest rates as it would give the economy, and the Biden administration at the time, a boost. <\/p>\n

Since taking the Oval Office in January that request has flipped to the other extreme. Trump has dubbed Powell \u201cdumb\u201d and \u201chard headed\u201d<\/a> for not cutting the base rate, adding he knows more than the Fed boss about interest rates.<\/a> <\/p>\n

While some marketeers may agree with Trump\u2019s take that Powell and the Federal Open Market Committee are reacting too slowly to economic data, no analyst or investor wants to see the independence of the central bank threatened. <\/p>\n

As such markets reacted shakily when Trump threatened to fire Powell, and then stabilized when the president rescind the suggestion. After all, the federally-mandated independence of the Fed was written into law to protect it from the whims of politicians and instead mandate it to ensure the long-term health of the economy.<\/p>\n

While lambasting the policy of the Fed remains a common theme of the Trump administration<\/a> (even yesterday, the president wrote on Truth Social<\/a> that \u201cfamilies are being hurt because interest rates are too high, and even our country is having to pay a higher rate than it should be because of \u2018Too Late [Powell].’\u201d) criticism is also being lobbied at wider-decision making. <\/p>\n

This has included Powell\u2019s management of the central bank\u2019s offices\u2014which Trump will reportedly be touring today\u2014with Russel Vought, director of the White House\u2019s\u00a0Office of Management and Budget making public a letter<\/a>\u00a0he sent to the Fed chairman, saying the president is \u201cextremely troubled by your management of the Federal Reserve System\u201d particularly relating to the \u201costentatious overhaul of [the Fed\u2019s] Washington D.C. headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powell has since responded to<\/a>, and clarified, some of the points raised in Vought\u2019s letter outlining: \u201cThe project is large \u2026 because it involves the renovation of two historic buildings on the National Mall and that were first constructed in the 1930s. While periodic work has been done to keep these buildings occupiable, neither building has seen a comprehensive renovation since they were first constructed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though the Fed has independence over its business management and expenditure, Powell reaffirmed the bank\u2019s commitment to \u201ctransparency for our decisions and to be accountable to the public\u201d\u2014announcing a new section of the Fed\u2019s website had been created to keep voters up-to-date with the latest developments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
