Trump Says Next Fed Chair Should Resemble 1990s Chief Alan Greenspan

Donald Trump said on Jan. 22 he wants the next Federal Reserve chair to resemble Alan Greenspan, who led the U.S. central bank for an extended period in the 1990s, BlockBeats reports. Trump argued that strong economic growth does not necessarily trigger inflation or require rate hikes, and criticized what he described as excessive market reactions. Greenspan cut rates early in his tenure, later tightened policy, and allowed high-risk assets to rise; his approach was credited with fueling a tech-stock bubble and broader economic expansion while also being linked to conditions preceding the 2000 internet crash and the low-rate environment tied to the 2008 housing crisis.
