Did Kevin Warsh commit to you that he will push to cut interest rates if he's confirmed?
Interviewer
Donald Trump
I don't want to ask him that question - I think it's inappropriate. But he certainly wants to cut rates. I've been watching him for a long time.
Did you have any concerns about his hawkish history of pushing for rate hikes?
Interviewer
Donald Trump
He's going to want to do the same thing, I think. I've had times when I think you've had to really have rate hikes, too.
Donald Trump
This was the perfect candidate. This was not a surprise or anything. This was the man, this most qualified top student, best schools. Everything was like perfect. The youngest person ever to serve on the Fed.
Donald Trump
If he doesn't approve, we'll just have to wait till somebody comes in that will approve it. Right. So that's it. But I saw that he wants to be an obstructionist. But we have a lot of obstruction. I've had a lot.
