Trump Wants A Say In Interest Rate Decisions Made By Federal Reserve: 'I Think I Have A Better Instinct'
"I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve — or the chairman," said Trump.Former President Donald Trump has proposed that presidents should have the power to influence the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, potentially challenging the central bank's political independence.
前总统特朗普提议总统应有权力影响联邦储备委员会的利率决策，这可能挑战中央银行的政治独立性。
What Happened: Trump made this suggestion during a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida. He argued that the president should have a say in the Federal Reserve's decisions, indicating a possible policy shift that could affect the Fed's historical independence from politics, reported Politico.
发生了什么：特朗普在佛罗里达州棕榈滩的新闻发布会上提出了这个建议。他认为总统应该对联邦储备委员会的决策有发言权，这暗示着可能会影响联邦储备委员会历史上与政治的独立性的政策转变，Politico报道。
"The president should have at least a say in there," said Trump. "I feel that strongly." He went on to tell his supporters that he had "made a lot of money" and was "very successful."
“总统应该至少在那里有发言权，”特朗普说。“我深信这点。”他继续告诉支持者，他已经“赚了很多钱”，“非常成功”。
"I think I have a better instinct than, in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve — or the chairman," said Trump.
“我认为我有比在联邦储备委员会或主席上任的许多人都更好的直觉，”特朗普说。
During the press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump, who had previously clashed with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, criticized the Fed Chair's timing on interest rate decisions. The former president also hinted at potential changes to Fed operations, including subjecting the central bank to review processes applicable to executive branch agencies.
在他的马阿拉歌庄园的新闻发布会上，曾与联邦储备委员会主席鲍威尔发生过冲突的特朗普批评鲍威尔在利率决策上的时机。前总统还暗示可能更改联邦储备委员会的运作方式，包括将中央银行纳入适用于行政部门机构的审查程序。
The Federal Reserve, which has consistently maintained its need for operational independence from direct political influence, declined to comment on Trump's remarks.
联邦储备委员会一直坚持需要与直接政治影响保持运营独立性，拒绝对特朗普的言论发表评论。
Why It Matters: Trump's comments are not entirely surprising, given his past interactions with the Federal Reserve. In July, Trump had expressed his consideration of JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon for the Treasury Secretary position and assured that he would not seek to displace Federal Reserve Chair Powell before the end of his term.
为什么这很重要：特朗普的评论并不完全令人惊讶，考虑到他过去与联邦储备委员会的互动。今年7月，特朗普曾考虑让JPMorgan Chase & 公司（NYSE: JPM）首席执行官杰米·戴蒙担任财政部长，并确保他不会在鲍威尔主席任期结束前撤换联邦储备委员会主席鲍威尔。
In April, it was reported that Trump's allies were formulating plans that could potentially disrupt the independence of the Federal Reserve, if the former president were to be re-elected.
据报道，四月份，特朗普的盟友正在制定可能干扰联邦储备委员会独立性的计划，如果这位前总统当选连任。
Furthermore, the controversial "Project 2025" by The Heritage Foundation, which included a section authored by a member of Trump's 2016 transition team, suggested a complete overhaul of the U.S.'s monetary policy. Trump has denied knowledge of the now-shelved agenda.
此外，The Heritage Foundation的备受争议的“2025计划”（其中一部分由特朗普2016年过渡团队的成员撰写）建议彻底改革美国的货币政策。特朗普否认了这个现在搁置的议程的知情。
