Donald Trump is angry at Jerome Powell because interest rates stay high. Mr. Powell leads a group called the Federal Reserve that decides how much money it costs to borrow. Trump thinks Powell caused prices to go up and isn't fixing the problem.
The Federal Reserve often changes these money rules. Sometimes, they make it very cheap to borrow money, which helps big banks and rich people buy more things. This happened in 2008 when many Americans lost their homes and jobs. The same thing happened again in 2020 when small shops had to close during lockdowns.
In 1981, they made borrowing money very expensive. Many people couldn't afford their houses anymore, and the stock market fell. Big banks bought everything at low prices. The Federal...
