Following the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, President Donald Trump took to social media to voice his dissent. He argued that the United States should be enjoying significantly lower borrowing costs.

The President stated that the US benchmark interest rate ought to be at 1% or possibly even lower, given that the country's credit standing is the finest globally, and by a substantial margin. He attributed the nation's thriving economy to new investments, which he said are flourishing under his administration's policies.

Trump further elaborated on his trade stance, suggesting that by halting commerce with nations where the US runs a trade deficit, a figure he claims constitutes a majority of partners, the country could generate at least $1.5 trillion annually. He characterized the term "deficit" as a sophisticated label for a loss, emphasizing that the current arrangement of supporting nearly all other countries cannot persist. His message concluded with a direct demand to lower American interest rates, and to do so with urgency.
