Kevin Warsh sworn in as Federal Reserve chair at White House

financeMay 22, 2026201,249

President Donald Trump administered the oath to Kevin Warsh at the White House today, installing Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve. Warsh arrives as a vocal critic of the Fed's recent policy, has close ties to President Donald Trump, and has advocated cutting interest rates. Markets are betting the Fed will stay on hold through most of 2026, setting up a potential clash between Warsh's push for lower rates and expectations for policy continuity. His leadership matters because the Fed chair sets U.S. interest rates, directly affecting mortgage, loan, and global borrowing costs amid ongoing inflation and political pressure.

Kevin Warsh starts his tenure with his credibility in tatters. He's proven himself to be Donald Trump's sock puppet. And he refuses to answer who cut him a $100 million check for his secret investments – and what they may want from him as the new Fed Chair.

Won’t say who won the 2020 presidential election. Should have been disqualifying.

Kevin Warsh should be indicted. He's part of a criminal enterprise being led by Donald Trump, the POTUS. I'm saddened to know that our Prime Minister gave Warsh a glowing review.

The corruption is outstanding, tremendous even. New stories every day. And innovative! We need a new typology of corruption.

Dems should never stop saying he’s in the Epstein files. Over & over & over again. What is wrong with you people?

The “good” news just keeps on coming now every day. Kevin Warsh will fall as soon as Trump hates him for something. But the damage being done is almost insurmountable. Idiot Americans begged for this lesson! It’s going to be brutal and will take work to rebuild when Trump’s under control or gone.

Yup. We're in trouble. The bad guys won, and we'll have to find a way to get through the mess.

Hey, just a thought... Did anything happen later in '87 after Greenspan took over? And which way were oil prices going at that time?

Hey, what could go wrong?

At what point does Warsh begin begging Jerome Powell to bail him out?

Because that’s how independent he is…

Trump told us in 2014 that he intended to destroy the U.S. economy and bring chaos and riots. No doubt this guy is going to help him do that.

PREDICTION: Kevin Warsh's speech in the Oval Office will be more Fedspeak ambiguous than Alan Greenspan ever delivered.

Nobody believes Trump. Unless they are corrupt themselves. They love him. The government is collapsing under the weight of corruption and incompetence.

So, will Kevin Warsh lower the Trumpy interest rates as soon as he's sworn in because Trumpy told him to? 100%. It'll be fun to see how much damage this does, but more importantly, how much does 1% interest rates benefit Trumpy, since that's all he really cares about.

@arepublic86.bsky.social

He can have his toadie Kevin Warsh sworn in. Sure, he'll vote the way Trump wants, and be yet another yes man. And when things still don't go his way, and in fact get far worse, because he doesn't live in the land of reality, he'll then blame Warsh, too, instead of taking responsibility. Because
