The last part is why we’ll see the rare Trump threat follow-through on firing the Fed chair. He will install a sycophant to juice the economy with extremely low interest rates, and create a perception of a healthy economy until the midterms pass.

Trump can't fire the Fed Chair though. Doesn't mean he won't try, but it would just lead to a year long court battle that the Supreme Court might actually rule against Trump on.
