I don’t think he cares about Powell that much either way. The important thing was to move the market, which he did.

This is the fifth or sixth set of wild market swings based on Trump or Administration comments in 3 months. The simplest explanation for why these wild swings keep happening is that Trump wants them to keep happening.
