If they follow the 70s example of stagflation, rate cuts are almost certainly not in the cards. Mass unemployment hasn't hit yet and inflation is probably about to skyrocket given historically how tarrifs work. The only way rates get cut is if Peach Man fires J Pow and replaces him with a someone willing to cut rates in spite of inflation. Which, is absolutely a distinct possibility.
No its not a distinct possibility. Even if trump tried to fire powell, which he technically cant and powell can refuse to go, he needs to pick someone on the current board to lead the Fed. He can't just throw kid rock or corey feldman or whoever he wants in there
