American economist and policy adviser Douglas Rediker commented on the news that Trump is considering appointing the next chairman of the Federal Reserve in advance, saying that the sooner Trump announces his favorite candidate for the US Federal Reserve chairman, the easier it is for this person to be targeted, and the less likely it is that he will actually become Powell's successor. Since taking office, Trump has criticized Powell for cutting interest rates many times, calling it “Mr. Too Late.”
