The preeminent technocratic and unelected central body has begun part two of its 180-degree pivot: the Fed has gone from projecting two rate increases as recently as December 2018 to being about a month away from its third rate decrease this year.

President Trump has been a strident advocate of both in his all-out assault on the Fed.
