Top 5 Promises Donald Trump Hopefully Keeps as President
2. Audit the Fed
Viewed by many as an attempt to appeal to more libertarian-leaning voters, Trump has on many occasions criticized the Federal Reserve. In mid-September, he said of Fed Chair Janet Yellen that “I think she is very political and to a certain extent, I think she should be ashamed of herself.” In his final campaign video, he called her part of the “political establishment” which has “bled our country dry.” Beyond Yellen personally, he has criticized the Fed on substance as well. In February, after the Senate voted on the long-anticipated “Audit the Fed” bill, Trump chastised Ted Cruz for missing the vote, saying “It is so important to audit the Federal Reserve, and yet Ted Cruz missed the vote on the bill that would allow this to be done.”
