According to former U.S. Treasury Secretary Summers, despite Trump's frequent public criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for not dropping interest rates, this may actually be a political strategy aimed at finding a scapegoat in advance for a potential economic downturn. Summers analyzes that while Trump currently holds a critical view of the Federal Reserve's policies, when it comes to actually choosing Powell's successor, he is likely to lean towards appointing a professional recognized by the financial markets, rather than a radical figure, primarily to avoid unnecessary fluctuations and uncertainties in the market.

This perspective reveals the potential disparity between political rhetoric and actual policy choices, and reflects the importance of maintaining financial market stability for any government. Historical experience shows that even leaders who emphasize change often take a relatively conservative stance when it comes to appointments to core positions in the financial system, which may be the basis of Summers' predictions. Overall, this practice of balancing political positions with market stability may become a key consideration in the future leadership transitions of The Federal Reserve (FED).
