What do you mean, “starts?” He was doing that all the way back in 2017.
Frankly, one of the things that doesn’t get talked about enough is how the economic disruptions of the pandemic obscured (and thus let him off the hook for) his disastrous corporate tax cut and trade war with China. He was continuously bullying the Fed to lower interest rates from 2017-2019 because the economy was already heading for a crash because of his policies, so the pandemic downturn was a lot worse (and the bailouts a lot more expensive) than it needed to be.
He starts and stops. I haven’t seen him doing any criticizing lately because the Fed has basically been doing what he’d prefer by trying to slow down the economy via rate hikes. The point of this article is that now that the Fed is shifting back in the direction of cuts, Trump’s attacks on it will likely recur.
