Abstract: 

After appointing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, President Trump put pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates. We show that, on average, a statement from Trump on the Fed led to lower long-term interest rates, consistent with expectations of lower expected future short rates. However, the impact of Trump's statements declined over time.
