Trump's Economic Measures Target Prices Amid Wall Street and Fed Concerns

President Donald Trump has adopted an assertive economic approach aimed at lowering prices ahead of the midterm elections, including regulatory actions against large investors, a proposed cap on credit card interest rates, and an investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. These moves have unsettled Wall Street and banking executives, who warn that such interventions could undermine market stability and the Fed's independence. While Trump highlights strong economic growth and affordability efforts, critics caution about the risks of his aggressive tactics on financial markets and long-term economic health.
