- Trump pushed for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts as "rocket fuel" for the economy, but AP News reports he is losing that fight so far.
- Yahoo Finance headlines Trump as throwing the Federal Reserve "under the bus yet again" over interest rates, signaling continued frustration with the central bank's stance.
Why it matters: If Trump cannot move the Fed on rates, the growth boost he promised voters through cheaper borrowing may not materialize before the November midterms — a timing problem for Republicans who face an uneasy November per the third headline fragment.
