President Donald Trump insisted Wednesday that the economy is healthy and said the only thing holding U.S. growth back is the Federal Reserve.

In his latest slap at the central bank, the president called Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to a “golfer who can’t putt.” In tweets, he also claimed the country is “doing great with China and other Trade Deals” with “the only problem” being “Jay Powell,” whom Trump appointed to the top position in February 2018.

“Yesterday, ‘highest Dollar in U.S.History.’ No inflation. Wake up Federal Reserve,” he tweeted.
