Trump is the first president to visit the Fed since President George W. Bush attended the swearing-in ceremony of Fed Chair Ben Bernanke in 2006. That ceremony marked only the third visit of a president to the Fed, Bernanke noted in his remarks on the day.

President Trump visited the central bank on Thursday, as the White House criticizes an extensive $2.5 billion renovation project to the buildings.

President Donald Trump, after a tour of the Fed’s $2.5 billion renovation, said he didn’t want to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell because of the plan’s cost overruns.
