President Donald Trump made it crystal clear Friday that he's not about to hand over one of his most trusted economic advisors to the federal bureaucracy at the Federal Reserve. When asked about Kevin Hassett potentially heading the Fed, Trump's response was telling: he doesn't want to lose his key economic brain trust to the swamp.
"I see Kevin is in the room," Trump remarked, making it obvious he values Hassett's counsel too much to ship him off to the Federal Reserve. For patriots who remember how Trump's first term was sabotaged by Deep State operatives embedded throughout government agencies, this move makes perfect sense.
Hassett has been instrumental in crafting Trump's America First economic policies that are already showing results. Why would Trump sacrifice a proven ally to an institution that has consistently worked against his agenda? The Federal Reserve, after all, is the same organization that helped orchestrate economic policies that nearly destroyed American prosperity under previous administrations.
Smart Strategy Against the Establishment
This decision reveals Trump's evolved understanding of Washington's power games. In his first term, he often tried to work within existing systems, sometimes placing allies in positions where they became isolated and ineffective. Now, he's keeping his economic team close where they can actually implement his vision.
"The President understands that real change happens when you keep your best people where they can have the most impact," a White House source noted.
The mainstream media will probably spin this as Trump "snubbing" the Fed or creating "uncertainty" in financial markets. But patriots know better. This is Trump protecting his agenda from the very institutions that spent years trying to undermine American economic independence.
With Hassett remaining in the White House, Americans can expect continued focus on the policies that matter: bringing manufacturing home, securing energy independence, and putting American workers first. That's a trade-off any patriot can support.
Isn't it refreshing to have a president who actually learns from experience and refuses to feed his best people to the Washington establishment?
