特朗普对手有一个“天才”剧本可以击败他：《纽约时报》分析
唐纳德·特朗普总统在华盛顿特区有很多他认为是敌人的人，但很少有人能像即将卸任的美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔那样成功地顶住了他的压力。现在，奥巴马时代的一位前经济顾问声称，他为那些希望反击总统威胁的人留下了一本“天才”剧本。杰森·弗曼是一位经济学家和学者，因在前总统巴拉克·奥巴马第二任期期间担任经济顾问委员会主席而闻名。周四，他为《纽约时报》发表了一篇新文章，称赞他是一位优秀的美联储主席，但也是特朗普更好的对手。鲍威尔一再拒绝充分降息，这引起了特朗普的强烈愤怒，降息本来有利于总统的许多商业盟友，但不一定有利于经济和整体通胀率。在第二任期初期，特朗普开始向鲍威尔和美联储施加巨大压力，威胁要解雇他——这是他无权这么做的——后来又对他展开刑事调查，这被广泛解读为一种几乎不加掩饰的恐吓手段。弗曼认为，鲍威尔的反应让他创造了一套全新的反击特朗普的剧本。但没有人教你如何处理这样的情况，”他解释道。 “先生。
来源:Alternet _经济President Donald Trump has many people he perceives as enemies in Washington, D.C., and few of them have resisted his pressures as successfully as outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.Now, a former Obama-era economic adviser argued that he has left behind a "genius" playbook for those looking to beat back the president's threats.
Jason Furman is an economist and scholar, best known for chairing the Council of Economic Advisers during former President Barack Obama's second term. On Thursday, he published a new piece for the New York Times,hailing him as a good Fed chair, but an even better opponent to Trump.
Powell drew significant ire from Trump over his repeated refusal to cut interest rates enough, something that would have been beneficial to the president's many business allies, but not necessarily good for the economy and inflation rates overall. Early into his second term, Trump began putting immense pressure on Powell and the Fed, threatening to fire him — something he lacked the authority to do — and later launching a criminal investigation into him, which was widely interpreted as a thinly veiled intimidation play.
Powell's reaction, Furman argued, saw him create a whole new playbook for hitting back at Trump.
"In economics departments, they teach you how to handle the situations central banks are likely to find themselves in: excessive inflation, financial crises, runs on the banks. But no one teaches you how to handle a situation like this," he explained. "Mr. Powell wrote his own playbook. He posted a plain-spoken two-minute video addressing the American public. 'No one — certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve — is above the law,' he said. But the president’s 'unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration’s threats and ongoing pressure.' He vowed to continue performing his duties 'without political fear or favor.'"
"Mr. Trump’s gambit had completely backfired," Furman explained.
