President Trump greets supporters upon his arrival in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Friday. By Heather Long Heather Long Economics correspondent Email Bio Follow March 22 at 1:12 PM President Trump said Friday that he is picking his close ally Stephen Moore to fill an open seat on the Federal Reserve Board. Trump has repeatedly blamed the Fed for hurting the economy.
“When President Trump fumed that the Fed’s rate increases were smothering his growth policies, he wasn’t entirely wrong,” Moore wrote in the op-ed. “The solution is obvious. The Fed should stabilize the value of the dollar.” “Frankly, if we didn’t have somebody that would raise interest rates and do quantitative tightening, we would have been at over 4 instead of a 3.1,” Trump said in Fox Business interview Friday.
