President Trump fired off a flurry of social media posts early Friday as he defended his controversial tariff policies, shrugged off market volatility, and pushed for more rate cuts.

“This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates,” Trump said in a post on his social media app Truth Social. “He is always ‘late,’ but he could now change his image, and quickly.”

“Energy prices are down, Interest Rates are down, Inflation is down, even Eggs are down 69%, and Jobs are UP, all within two months – A BIG WIN for America. CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!”
