President Trump is finally taking action against the corrupt Federal Reserve that has been working against hardworking Americans for decades. On Monday, he moved to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over serious mortgage fraud allegations. This is exactly the kind of swamp-draining action we voted for.

But Cook is refusing to leave her cushy government job. She thinks she can ignore the President of the United States and keep collecting her taxpayer-funded paycheck. This is the arrogance of the Washington establishment on full display.

Trump is the first president in 112 years brave enough to fire a Fed governor. Previous presidents were too weak to stand up to these unelected bureaucrats who control our economy. Finally we have a leader who puts America First instead of protecting the swamp.

The so-called experts are crying about Fed independence. But where was this independence when they kept interest rates artificially low to help Obama? These same people cheered when the Fed worked against Trump in his first term.

Cook and her allies want to keep interest rates high to hurt ordinary Americans. They would rather see families struggle with expensive mortgages than let Trump succeed. This is economic warfare against the American people.

The Fed has too much power over our lives and our wallets. These unelected officials should not be able to crash the economy whenever they disagree with our elected president. Trump is fighting to return power to the people where it belongs.

If Cook had nothing to hide about the mortgage fraud charges, she would step down immediately. Instead she is digging in and fighting dirty. This proves Trump was right to go after the corruption in our financial system.

The mainstream media will attack Trump for this bold move. But real Americans know we need someone willing to take on the establishment and fight for our economic freedom. That person is Donald Trump.
