How soon before Trump dubs Kevin Warsh 'clueless'? reut.rs/4rxhOCZ
How soon before Trump dubs Kevin Warsh 'clueless'?
In many ways President Donald Trump's decision to pick former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh to head the central bank is a relatively orthodox choice. To many, he is not the ardent interest rate slasher the U.S. president seemed to want. But maybe Trump is just happy having a scapegoat at the Fed.
