President Trump may want to think twice about his Federal Reserve selection process after disturbing details emerged about one of his supposed "finalists" for the top job. Rick Rieder, BlackRock's chief fixed income strategist, has been making rounds as a potential Fed chair candidate—despite holding positions that are completely at odds with the America First agenda that swept Trump back into office.
According to reports, Rieder has publicly advocated for raising corporate tax rates and pushing for higher immigration levels—two positions that fly directly in the face of Trump's proven economic formula that delivered unprecedented prosperity during his first term.
This is exactly the kind of swamp thinking that Patriots voted to reject in November. Here we have a Wall Street insider from BlackRock—yes, the same BlackRock that's been pushing woke ESG policies and buying up American homes—who thinks the solution to America's problems is higher taxes on job creators and more foreign workers competing with American families.
BlackRock's Trojan Horse Strategy?
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Just as President Trump is preparing to unleash the largest deportation operation in American history and extend his historic tax cuts that supercharged our economy, suddenly a BlackRock executive emerges as a "leading candidate" for one of the most powerful economic positions in government.
This has all the hallmarks of a Deep State setup. The same financial establishment that fought Trump tooth and nail during his first term is now trying to plant their own operative at the Federal Reserve to sabotage the Trump agenda from within.
Patriots didn't vote for higher corporate taxes—we voted for the policies that made America energy independent and delivered the greatest economy in our nation's history. We didn't vote for more immigration—we voted for mass deportations and putting American workers first.
President Trump built his reputation on firing the right people at the right time. Let's hope Rick Rieder gets fired before he's even hired. America deserves a Fed chair who believes in the America First agenda, not another Wall Street insider pushing globalist talking points.
