US judge temporarily blocks Trump from removing Fed Governor Cook —
Reuter’s Summary:
• Judge finds #Trump move likely unlawful
• Ruling will keep Cook in office while lawsuit proceeds
• Trump admin accused #Fed governor of mortgage fraud
My add-ins:
• Trump has said his people (“we”) will have a majority in the Fed soon (I heard him)
• Trump admin is also going after Dem Sen. A. Schiff & NY AG L. James for mortgage fraud

“…including its power to set interest rates, as the #Trump administration continues its efforts to exert control over a central bank whose insulation from short-term political pressures is widely seen as key to its effectiveness.”

Their goal is to control the US Federal Reserve (Fed) or even eliminate it. Once you see it through that filtering lens, their seemingly innocuous moves start to make more sense 🧐
Also, Bessent is a possible Trump pick to be Fed chair.

The “theory of a ‘unitary’ executive branch gained currency in the Reagan and Bush eras and now appears to command a majority of the Supreme Court.
Although it has yet to fully overrule
Humphrey's Executor, the writing is on the wall.”(bravo to that word play but this is all alarming #MyThoughts )

In May, SCOTUS had written that the Fed is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity" with a “distinct historical tradition.”
In dissent, Justice Kagan suggested the majority had crafted "a bespoke Federal Reserve exception" to its likely expansion of presidential authority.

Trump is “potentially crossing a red line the Supreme Court has suggested protects the central bank from direct political manipulation.”
(…*potentially* (?) )

Trump said, “We will have a majority (in the Fed) soon,” and talked about how that majority will “bring housing down” (no doubt referring to mortgage rates).

"Risk sentiment will falter further thanks to a barrage of Trump headlines hitting markets that were already shaky. Now, the Fed's credibility is under the spotlight after Trump sought to remove Lisa Cook.… The long end and the US dollar will suffer as Fed independence - long seen as sacrosanct - comes under increasing strain."

“Dollar Drops as Trump Says He's Firing Fed's Cook…”
~#Trump ‘s move adds more negative sentiment toward US assets, after his tariff war & widening deficit revived a ‘Sell America’ theme earlier this year & more questions about US exceptionalism. Traders have been seeking alternatives to the dollar, the world's reserve currency… Any perception of eroding Fed independence could accelerate that shift.

“Dollar Drops as Trump Says He's Firing Fed's Cook…”
“The Treasury curve steepened, with a drop in two-year yields reflecting growing speculation of a Fed interest-rate cut as soon as next month, while 30-year yields climbed on concern looser monetary policy would risk fueling inflation.”

Can Trump fire the Fed governor, Lisa Cook, without cause?
“Probably not. The Supreme Court has repeatedly gone out of its way to say the Fed occupies a distinctive place in the government. But those statements were asides rather than rulings, and the court has given the green light to many other administration initiatives.”

“Despite the law, President Franklin D. Roosevelt fired a commissioner, William Humphrey. The only reason he gave was that Mr. Humphrey's actions were not aligned with the administration's policy goals. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the firing had been unlawful.”

Trump says he is removing Lisa Cook from the Fed’s Board of Governors (the Federal Reserve Board).
Can he do that (legally)? 🤔
What about the Fed’s independence?

#Trump wants Powell to lower ‘interest rates.’ That’s why he went on the bully tour today (Trump could possibly fire Powell ‘for cause,’ which he is trying to find with the renovations.)
At the end of the photo-op, a reporter asked if there was anything that Powell could do to get Trump back off the criticism and Trump said, “Well, I would like him to lower interest rates,” and, chuckling, patted Powell on the back.
