Trump has expressed his displeasure with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
He's said to be frustrated with Mnuchin's recommendation of Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve
Trump is said to be worried the Fed raising interest rates will hurt the economy, which, thus could damage his 2020 reelection bid
The grumblings against Mnuchin follow a similar path as those that led to the dismissals of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions
