The Deep State and their media allies are in full meltdown mode after Trump's National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett dared to suggest that Federal Reserve Bank of New York staff should face consequences for publishing biased anti-tariff reports designed to undermine President Trump's America First agenda.
Hassett's Wednesday comments have triggered the usual suspects in Washington and Wall Street, who are clutching their pearls over what they're calling threats to "Fed independence." But patriots know the real story: this is about holding unelected bureaucrats accountable when they masquerade political opposition as objective economic analysis.
The New York Fed's report in question was nothing more than establishment propaganda designed to sabotage Trump's successful tariff policies that have already begun reshoring American jobs and strengthening our negotiating position with China and other trading partners who've been ripping us off for decades.
Fed "Independence" or Deep State Protection?
For too long, the Federal Reserve has operated as an untouchable fourth branch of government, making decisions that affect every American while answering to no one. When Fed officials step outside their mandate to play politics against a duly elected president, they deserve to be called out - and yes, disciplined.
"The idea that we can't question obviously biased reports from Fed staff is exactly the kind of Deep State thinking that got us into this mess," one Trump administration official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
This manufactured controversy reveals everything wrong with Washington's power structure. Career bureaucrats can attack Trump's policies with impunity, but the moment anyone suggests accountability, the establishment media and their allies scream about "norms" and "independence."
Hassett is doing exactly what Trump voters elected this administration to do: drain the swamp and hold the administrative state accountable to We the People. The fact that this basic concept of democratic accountability sends D.C. insiders into hysterics only proves how desperately our government needs reform.
Will Trump continue backing officials like Hassett who aren't afraid to take on the entrenched interests protecting their power at Americans' expense?
