President Trump’s trade war is likely to lead to higher prices and slower growth, a challenging combination for the Fed. War in the Middle East could make the job harder still.

Economic projections released by Fed officials in conjunction with their meeting showed growth slowing sharply this year, unemployment rising and inflation picking back up. That is a painful mix for the public, and a challenging one for central bankers.

Powell’s term ends at the end of this month and you can guarantee Trump will replace him with another sock puppet, probably another million dollar contributor to his campaign, seems to be the biggest variable in Trump’s selections
