i didn’t say the feds aren’t ever supposed to raise rates. but those hikes were not in response to inflation, and they probably slowed economic growth. just because trump says something, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s wrong.

Mr. Powell showed little concern about inflation (so yes the rate hike had nothing to do with that but he stated his reasons

Powell, the Fed chairman, said the economy “is in a good place” in a news conference. But he and his colleagues said growth appeared to be slowing from last year, under the weight of the Trump administration’s trade war, economic slowdowns in Europe and China and fading stimulus from the Republican tax cuts of 2017.
