According to PolyBeats monitoring, Trump has publicly called for lower interest rates at least 6 times since April, and Hassett also said before the rate hike that caution was warranted ahead of the midterm elections; but Warsh promised Fed independence from his confirmation hearing through after taking office, and on September 16 pushed for a unanimous rate hike on the grounds that inflation was too high.
Over the past two weeks, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of "Trump insults Warsh this month" rose from 6% at the beginning of the month to a high of 50% yesterday; after Warsh announced the rate hike, Trump sharply criticized the entire Fed Board as "hostile and politicized," yet still said he trusted Warsh and hoped he would remain independent.
