I’m on Donald Trump’s side with his economics and politics — not the side of Fed chief Jerome Powell. Mr. Trump has the Midas touch: Everything he touches turns to gold. Why? Simple.

CNN reported a Wall Street Journal poll recently that the Democrats are at their lowest approval rating in history.

Isn’t that part of the mission of Mr. Powell and the Federal Reserve?
