Trump Just Made a Move That Could Crash the Economy - Adam Kinzinger



Donald Trump has taken a step that economists warn could seriously destabilize the U.S. economy. Reports that the Federal Reserve has been served with grand jury subpoenas tied to Chair Jerome Powell have raised alarm over political pressure on America’s central bank.

In this video, Adam Kinzinger explains why threatening the Fed’s independence is so dangerous, how interest rates affect inflation and jobs, and what happens when monetary policy turns political. This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about economic stability and protecting institutions that impact every American. - 01/11/2026.

And that certainly doesn't inspire confidence in the near future of this country...
