I vote for manufactured dissent. David's family bailed out Trump's Taj Mahal in 1990 and I find Trump's Fed criticisms to be criticisms of specific Fed policy rather than criticisms of the Fed existing or the US government relationship with the Fed.

Are Trump's Fed comments really moving the market?

Trump probably is playing the part of the controlled opposition. The criticisms are not directed entirely on the FED as a whole. Keep in mind, the FED can completely destroy the economy in a day if they wanted to and have tried when Andrew Jackson ended the central banks. THough it wasn't considered the FED, today, it was a private bank that acted very much like they do today.
