Donald Trump has never hidden his frustration with the Federal Reserve — and now, back in the White House, his attacks have only intensified. From insults directed at Chair Jerome Powell to threats against Fed Governor Lisa Cook, the president is waging an extraordinary campaign to push the central bank into cutting interest rates.It’s a striking challenge to central bank independence in the world’s largest economy.
