President Trump said on Wednesday that the Federal Reserve board "wants to see the country perform poorly" when asked about mortgage rates, noting 30-year mortgage rates rose last week to their highest in nearly three years. He called Fed Chair Kevin Warsh "very good" but added that other Fed board members, in his view, prefer weaker performance because he believes rates should be cut.
