6. That would be a horrible idea

The core cpi is rising and tariffs are only going to make that worse. Inflation is therefore rising, if only for now, it's slight but likely to jump as we start to feel the impacts of the new immigration crackdown.
Lowering the interest rate would make borrowing cheaper but would water down the value of the dollar and make things more expensive and thereby making things cost more and making inflation worse.
Powell may be forced to do it as Mango Mussolini is going after Fed Board members and looking to replace another member of the board due to bs accusations of mortgage fraud by one of its members that allied with Powell. If he can replace her there will be three Mango Mussolini allied board members that will lean things in his favor.
