President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell of failing to control inflation, blaming the Fed’s focus on social and environmental issues.
The president vowed to counter what he called the Fed’s mismanagement with deregulation, energy expansion, and Treasury-led lending that would boost economic growth and ease inflationary pressures.
Trump’s remarks, made in a Truth Social post, came after the Fed decided to hold interest rates steady in response to persistent inflation concerns. Powell, speaking at a press briefing, signaled that rates could remain elevated for an extended period if inflation fails to decline further.
“If the economy remains strong and inflation does not continue to move sustainably toward 2 percent, we can maintain policy restraint for longer,” Powell said. “If the labor market were to weaken unexpectedly or inflation were to fall more quickly than anticipated, we can ease policy accordingly.”
Trump, who has recently ramped up pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates, accused Powell of mismanaging inflation and claimed that the central bank had neglected its core mandate by focusing too much on issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), climate policies, and social justice. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
