Resolves N/A if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates basis points in their December meeting.
Resolves YES if rates are maintained or raised and Trump publically attempts to fire or remove Jerome Powell and/or other governors of the Federal reserve or attempts to enact executive control over Fed operations through legal/political orders.
Resolves NO if rates are maintained or raised and Trump does not threaten autonomy of the Federal Reserve. Empty statements about removal or what actions the Fed should do (like Trump has done before) will not count as increased pressure.
