  • President Trump frequently compliments Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh on his appearance, reportedly 'swooning' over his looks when he appears on television.
  • Warsh, hand-picked by Trump, succeeded Jerome Powell and maintains regular contact with the president, discussing topics like artificial intelligence and the war in Iran, though not interest rates.
  • Trump has also praised Warsh as a 'brilliant guy,' despite the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged, and Warsh himself hinted at tightening policy if inflation rises.
