President Donald Trump’s attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell are so commonplace at this point that they barely register in financial markets these days. The rapidly intensifying multi-pronged efforts by Trump’s advisers to amplify and expand on Trump’s attacks are a good reason to rethink that indifference.

President Trump is putting pressure on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to lower interest rates, and has been critical of the Fed's $2.5 billion office renovation.

Donald Trump's budget chief accused Jerome Powell of shooting over the budget to renovate the Fed's headquarters by roughly $700 million.

A dispute over the Federal Reserve’s renovation of its headquarters could provide the pretext to attempt the removal of Fed chief Jerome Powell over interest-rate disagreements.

White House budget director Russell Vought said in a social media post that Jerome Powell 'has grossly mismanaged the Fed' as he published a letter sent to the central bank chairman raising concerns about renovations of the institution's Washington offices.
