Today, President Trump visited the Federal Reserve.
He joined a previously arranged tour for White House advisors of the construction site where the Fed is renovating its headquarters.
The building project has become Trump's latest tool for chiseling away at the Fed
for resisting White House pressure to cut interest rates aggressively.
Trump has argued in recent weeks for lower interest rates to reduce government borrowing costs.
Speaking from inside the building under renovation in a white hard hat alongside Fed Chair Jerome Powell,
Trump explained the purpose of his visit.
Well, I'm here just really with the chairman.
He's showing us around, showing us the work.
And so I don't want to get that.
