Former President Donald Trump slammed Jerome Powell, arguing that the Federal Reserve chairman is planning to lower interest rates to aid Democrats in the coming election.

“I think he’s political,” Trump said, according to excerpts from an appearance on Fox Business that will air this Sunday. “I think he’s going to do something to probably help the Democrats, I think, if he lowers interest rates.”
