Thom Tillis (R-NC) over the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve chair. <span class=\"credit\">Jack Forbes \/ NY Post Design<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tillis, a powerful member of the Senate Banking Committee, says he won\u2019t agree to send Warsh\u2019s nomination to the full Senate (where Warsh would likely be approved on a party-line vote) because he thinks the White House\u2019s probe of Fed Chair Jerome Powell over alleged cost overruns on its HQ renovation is bogus, an attempt to usurp the Fed\u2019s status as an independent agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street believes this principled stance and the fact that Wall Street wants an independent Fed will force Trump\u2019s hand \u2013 and it amounts to a bet that Trump will ultimately be rational. The last thing the president needs with midterms coming up, the Iran conflict and its disruption of oil supplies (sparking inflation), is for bond traders to start demanding higher interest rates on US debt because they think the White House will be controlling monetary policy and simply print money at will.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"inline-module inline-module--more inline-module--columnist inline-module--more--thirds\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<h2 class=\"inline-module__heading subsection-heading subsection-heading--single-line \">\n\t\t\tMore From\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"subsection-heading__sub\">Charles Gasparino<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Plus, Tillis isn\u2019t budging. He recently told reporters it might be better for Powell to remain in his job on a temporary basis (which he will by law if Warsh isn\u2019t confirmed when Powell\u2019s term ends in a few weeks) than to have the president exert his influence over the agency. Removing Powell could spark \u201cmayhem\u201d in the bond markets and those dreaded higher interest rates Trump wants to fall to spur the economy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a matter of fact, the mayhem would be if we sent to the financial markets that the Fed serves at the pleasure of the president of the United States, any president of the United States,\u201d Tillis told Fox Business\u2019s Chase Williams. \u201cIt is an independent entity that needs to remain that way. And what I\u2019m trying to do is be that stabilizing force.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the

Tillis recently told reporters it might be better for Powell to remain in his job on a temporary basis. <span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But Trump is the president, and even though Tillis has announced he isn\u2019t running for re-election (thus he doesn\u2019t need the president\u2019s endorsement that goes far in GOP circles), the pressure on him to relent will be enormous because Trump simply hates Powell.<\/p>\n<p>Traders coined the term TACO or \u201cTrump Always Chickens Out\u201d when it came to the president\u2019s softening on tariffs after a market backlash, which ignores the fact that tariffs still exist and Trump hasn\u2019t really relented on any parts of his economic agenda, or his foreign policy goals as evidenced by the Iranian blockade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module On The Money\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCharlie Gasparino has his finger on the pulse of where business, politics and finance meet\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up to receive On The Money by Charlie Gasparino in your inbox every Thursday.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He thinks Powell\u2019s Fed dissed him by cutting \u00a0rates right before the 2024 election, allegedly to juice the economy and elect his opponent Kamala Harris (Powell\u2019s people say he was just following the economic numbers showing an economic slowdown) and he wasn\u2019t fast enough in cutting once Trump became president. His alleged over-spending on the new HQ, the so-called \u201cTaj Mahal on the Mall\u201d is proof of his incompetence, and he has vowed to fire the Fed chair for \u201ccause\u201d if he has to.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is pretty adamant about all of the above, though as we all know, he also is a dealmaker. Maybe that\u2019s why people close to Warsh on Wall Street tell me they expect him to become Fed chair in time for the end of Powell\u2019s term in May.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
