I like this part. > As midterms loom, Trump desperately wants an interest rate cut to juice the [stagflating economy](https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/11/business/stagflation-economy-fed-nightcap) and his Department of Justice is leveraging the criminal justice system to intimidate the Fed to make the change over its best judgment by turning Groutgate into a federal crime. A desperate Trump seeing doom on the horizon gives hope that his tyranny might at least hit some major speed bumps. A noncompliant Congress would neuter him somewhat. ---
