* Identity & Achievement: Cook’s brilliance and her breakthrough as a Black woman economist may provoke both admiration and rancor, particularly from a figure who has often weaponized racialized rhetoric.
* Institutional Control: Her presence, and Powell’s resistance, signal independence. For someone seeking dominion over the Fed, that independence is threat.
* DEI as Target: Trump’s anti-DEI posture casts Cook’s advancement not as earned, but as ideological—a calculus that devalues both her credentials and her contribution.
