Trump slams Fed Chair Powell as ‘stupid person’ ahead of rate decision

President Donald Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as he spoke with reporters outside the White House on Wednesday morning.

"We have a stupid person, frankly, at the Fed. He probably won’t cut today," Trump said.

Later, Trump said of Powell: "He’s a political guy who’s not a smart person. But he’s costing the country a fortune."
