The Battle Over Marble in the Federal Reserve Renovation
The Battle Over Marble in the Federal Reserve Renovation
The feud between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has reached a new level as Trump has taken aim at the marble finishes and high costs of the Federal Reserve headquarters. Trump has long been critical of Powell's decisions on interest rates and now sees the expensive renovation as an opportunity to criticize him further.
The Controversy Surrounding the Use of Marble
The Federal Reserve renovation project has drawn scrutiny for its use of expensive marble finishes, with some questioning the necessity of such luxurious materials in a government building. In fact, this is not the first time Trump has used the marble as a talking point, having previously criticized the use of the material in his own Trump Tower in New York City.
The Implications of This Dispute
While the battle over marble may seem like a small detail, it speaks to a larger issue of power struggles and tensions between the White House and the Federal Reserve. With Trump's continued attacks on Powell and his decisions, it remains to be seen how this latest criticism will affect the already strained relationship between the two entities.
