Trump's been vocal about wanting lower rates and potentially shaking up the Fed leadership. But here's the thing—Wednesday's FOMC meeting revealed some serious cracks in the consensus. Even if he manages to get a new chair in place, it won't automatically deliver the rate cuts he's pushing for.
The divisions among Fed officials run deeper than just who's sitting at the head of the table. Hawks and doves are split on inflation risks versus growth concerns. Some members are worried about reigniting price pressures, while others see economic slowdown on the horizon.
