'IT'S INAPPROPRIATE': Trump makes 'ironic' statement about his Fed pick

• President Trump's 'inappropriate' comment about discussing interest rates with his Fed nominee, followed by an immediate indication of Warsh's desire to cut rates, was highlighted as ironic.
• Panelists expressed concerns about the politicization of the Federal Reserve and the potential for monetary policy to be used as a 'short-term political tool,' risking confidence in the US dollar.
• Kevin Warsh's known views on reforming and downsizing the Fed, shifting power towards the Treasury and 'the people,' were also discussed as aligning with Trump's broader vision for the institution.

The discussion centers on President Trump's comments regarding his potential Federal Reserve chair nominee, Kevin Warsh. Trump stated it's 'inappropriate' to ask Warsh about cutting interest rates, but then immediately implied Warsh 'certainly wants to cut rates,' sparking debate among panelists about the irony and potential politicization of the Fed's independence and monetary policy.
