The firing of Lisa Cook means Krasnov is working to control the Fed. He is sending a message to the rest of the Fed, do as I say or I will ruin your life.

Jerome Powell will surely lower interest rates in September if this firing stands.

Cutting interest rates is about Krasnov's only economic policy, crash the dollar and strengthen Crypto. Cutting interest rates and firing Cook will give pause to anyone wanting to invest in the US. The value of the dollar and a president who only cares about what benefits him, not to mention his tariffs, is a scary prospect.

Inflation and a weak dollar are on the horizon.
