Trump: ‘I Want Kevin Warsh To Be Totally Independent’

TRUMP: “As a senior economic adviser in the White House, he knows the White House very well. He's walking through the White House, he's pointing things to me that I didn't even know. (Laughter) At the age of 35, he became the youngest ever Federal Reserve governor. For the past 15 years, Kevin has been a fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution and his credentials really are second to none when you hear them and there's plenty more. I know that Kevin has the deepest respect and reverence for the institution he will lead starting today. We're so lucky to have him. The Federal Reserve is a pillar of the world financial system and the most important central bank anywhere in the world with a history stretching back more than 100 years. It is truly the institution that's most looked to and most respected and it's now taken on a new and even higher respect in my opinion. And honestly, I really mean this. This is not said in any other way. I want Kevin to be totally independent. I want him to be independent and just do a great job. Don't look at me, don't look at anybody, just do your own thing and do a great job, OK?” (Applause)
