The Federal Reserve is sounding the alarm—not about rampant inflation, which is clearly cooling—but about President Trump’s bold tariff policies. Despite hard data showing prices inching closer to the Fed’s inflation goal, Jerome Powell’s central bank has chosen to ignore the numbers and instead fixate on the “threat” of tariffs. This is no accident. The Fed is not just dabbling in economics; it’s waging a quiet war on American sovereignty and the very trade policies that have started to put America first.
Let’s be clear: inflation is falling. The Fed’s preferred measure shows a steady cooldown. Consumers feel it; businesses expect it. Yet, the Fed abruptly raised its inflation forecast for 2025, banking on price hikes that haven’t materialized. The reason? Tariffs. The central bank is taking orders from globalist fearmongers who despise America’s push to protect its industries and workers. Instead of embracing a data-driven approach, the Fed is preemptively punishing Trump’s America-first agenda, treating tariffs like a monstrous inflation bomb when, in truth, they have barely hit consumers.
Powell and his crew are so caught up in the unknowns of tariff effects that they’ve thrown pragmatism out the window. They’re willing to keep interest rates high—and choke off economic growth—all to send a warning. This “wait and see” posture isn’t cautious leadership; it’s activist central banking with a political agenda. The Fed claims independence, but this is anything but. By blaming tariffs—a direct result of Trump’s fight against China and unfair trade deals—they’re waging monetary war on the one thing that’s finally pushing back against China’s economic free ride and the endless outsourcing of American jobs.

The fear in D.C. and on Wall Street is clear. If tariffs work—and they are working—they threaten the status quo that benefits global elites and corporate cronies. The Fed is signaling no relief for borrowers or Main Street anytime soon because it’s more loyal to globalist financial interests than to the American worker. Markets may want cuts, but the Fed is doubling down on a restrictive policy—stalling growth, raising borrowing costs, and threatening to strangle the engine that fuels American prosperity—just to stake out a political position.
This isn’t about economics. It’s about power. The Fed’s hawkish stance is a message: Stay in line or suffer the consequences. The same “independent” Fed that once promised to follow data is now holding the line against policies that dare to defend America’s borders and industries. Are we really to believe this central bank cares more about inflation than it does about maintaining globalist control? When did protecting America’s economy become the real inflation threat? If the Fed sees tariffs as such a great risk, maybe the bigger question is: Who’s really paying the price in this calculated monetary attack—the American people or the Washington bureaucrats trying to sideline Trump’s legacy?
