The Federal Reserve finally dropped interest rates by a quarter point. This decision is a win for President Trump, who has been pushing for it since he took office again in January. The Federal Reserve, often out of touch with the needs of the average American, seems to have finally caught up. Lowering rates could give the economy a much-needed boost, making it easier for families to buy homes and cars, and for small businesses to expand. This means more opportunities for everyday Americans, something the Trump administration has tirelessly advocated for.
The Fed claimed it made this cut to help with a stalling labor market and slower growth. But ask yourself, why was this not done sooner? Why did it take pressure from President Trump to get the Fed moving in this direction? This action should have been a no-brainer when it was clear that high borrowing costs were shackling economic progress. But of course, mainstream financial pundits were too busy undermining his every move to see reality.
Fed cut rates. But the real signal came from Powell’s words:
– Inflation risks are lower than in April.
– 10 of 19 members expect two or more cuts this year.
– Decisions will now be made meeting by meeting.
– A single 25 bps move won’t change much. This is just the beginning.… pic.twitter.com/VyFTBbdHEI— Thomas Kralow (@TKralow) September 18, 2025
Federal Reserve insiders are suggesting a couple more cuts might follow in 2025, and one in 2026. Yet Wall Street had been counting on more significant cuts. When will they stop playing around and commit to bringing down rates in a meaningful way? Businesses and American workers need a proactive stance from the Fed, not wishy-washy, piecemeal promises. It almost feels like they’re deliberately slow-walking these cuts just to avoid giving President Trump any credit.
And let’s be honest, had the situation been different with a liberal leader in the White House, would we have seen faster action from the Fed? You bet left-leaning media would’ve been giving out accolades left and right. But no, President Trump and his team must fight tooth and nail against a bias that holds them to different standards. The double standards of the liberal elites continue to plague policy-making, often to the detriment of the average citizen.
President Trump has not yet spoken about the rate cut, but when he does, there’s no doubt he’ll rightfully point it out as a triumph. If the Fed can put its globalist tendencies aside and actually listen to the administration advocating for American prosperity, imagine what could happen next. The real question is, will they? Or is this just another tiny step begrudgingly given to pacify a President who understands what America truly needs?
