They've been saying since the Biden administration they are going to keep raising rates. If the Trump regime's choices drive us into an unending crisis, bailing him out with rate cuts would be the politically motivated choice. Continuing to raise rates is just sticking to principles.
Not true. The Fed did lower rates leading up to the election, seemingly to postpone a crisis until Democrats got elected (which didn't happen).
