BREAKING: President Trump comments on Kevin Hassett, the expected replacement for Fed Chair Powell: “You were fantastic on TV today, I actually want to keep you where you are.” “If I move him, these Fed guys don’t talk much, I would lose you. It’s a serious concern to me,”... Trump adds.show more

Interesting comments on Fed leadership. Clear communication matters in uncertain times. At Truflation, our real-time US CPI is 1.55%, offering transparent, data-driven insight alongside official figures.

🤣😅🤑

Playing some Chess? Never let them know your next move.

dropped to 16% on this news

Whoever Trump nominates as Fed chair is just the one he thinks needs a shorter leash

Lmao he's too good and got demoted

so its not Kevin

So 'these Fed guys don’t talk much' is now a hiring problem? When central banking is just a TV audition, is it any wonder the printing press is always running wild?

If you move Hassett, then you have to replace Hassett. Doesn’t make sense. Make one move, not two.

Warsh is all the way up to 60% 👀

Kevin is too nice of a guy. Stay away from the position.

It should be Trump Jr as Fed Chair. The only person that can be trusted to be loyal.

Trump values Hassett’s media presence over a Fed role—keeping him close for communication impact.

What kind of stupid spectacle did they put on with Jerome Powell? He appointed him himself, and now he’s acting like there’s some kind of confrontation.

Nice one!

So Trump is now saying he may keep Hassett where he is Hassett is viewed as a more politically aligned Fed Chair candidate But this comment suggests that there is some hesitation The uncertainty around the Fed leadership transition just increased Investors were expecting a clearer path under a Fed lead by Hassett But this comment makes it much more unclear

There’s goes our 2026 rate cuts lmao

Markets care about independence and clarity. Fed leadership should be about policy credibility, not TV optics.

Next fed chair

The Federal Reserve is traditionally a black box. Trump understands that in the modern era, narrative control is as critical as interest rate policy. Silence is a strategic liability when the market trades on psychology.

I don't buy it. That's another test balloon. Yields went up, stocks went down on this announcement. Definitely not what he wants before midterms.

Kevin Hassett is the best pick for the next fed chair The best is yet to come

If Hassett takes the Chair, he is immediately bound by the FOMC blackout rules and the historical necessity of ambiguous Fed Speak. He loses the ability to translate policy into plain English for the voter base.

Hasset is a political hack….if he is made fed chair our economy will crater taking the world with it We won’t be able to sell a single government bond… nobody will believe in the US central bank

Trump realizes that a silent Fed Chair is useless to him politically. He doesn't just need a policymaker; he needs a narrator for the economy. Keeping Hassett as a 'media proxy' rather than locking him inside the Eccles Building is a strategic play to control public sentiment."

@TiborKovacs_TX Nothin serious, happening , here,a i question.

When the Fed chair discussion becomes political, markets start pricing credibility risk.

Gg lower fed

Hey @grok is Hassett more pro rate cuts or rate hikes? Don’t give me it depends on the current situation…

"Let China come in, let Japan come in," during remarks at a Detroit Economic Club meeting on January 13, 2026.

Trump to Hassett: “You’re fantastic on TV, I actually want to keep you where you are.” Translation: “The economy is finally working, don’t touch it, I might accidentally break it again.”

Jerome Powell will be leaving as Fed chair in May 👏👏

last time, Trump, the lunar dog from New York, appointed Powell, the lunar dragon from Washington DC this time, Trump will appoint Warsh, a fellow lunar dog from New York as Fed chair. this time he wants someone on his own team. and it will happen during their favorable horse

Trump seems to care more about keeping a strong voice than making another Fed move right now.
