President Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland took center stage on this week's "Face the Nation" as guests discussed its implications. Director of the US Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, shed light on a pivotal meeting between Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at a Fed facility. The discussion centered around key economic issues and how they will be influenced by the President's decision to leave office.
Meanwhile, concerns over higher education dominated a conversation with Ted Carter, president of Ohio State University. As tensions rise under the current administration's push for control over private and public institutions, Carter shared his vision on navigating this new era in academia. It remains to be seen how these efforts will impact the nation's colleges and universities.
Vought addressed questions regarding economic policy during Trump's presidency, which are crucial as the President prepares to depart office. This discussion aimed to highlight potential changes and their possible effects on the economy under the next administration.
The meeting between Powell and Trump marked a significant development in economic relations before the President's trip to Scotland. As this period approaches, observers will be closely monitoring developments that could impact global economic stability.
Carter emphasized his commitment to maintaining Ohio State University's integrity amidst growing concerns over government interference. This reflects a broader challenge facing institutions of higher learning across the US as they navigate the current landscape.

, you know? I mean, what's next? Is this just a way to distract us from economic issues at home? And Powell meeting with him... seems like a power play to me 
. On the other hand, education policy is where it's really at - we need more voices like Carter speaking out against government overreach 
. But what if Trump's leaving office is all about legacy rather than actual progress? That would be pretty messed up, imo 
.
. I'm kinda surprised Trump's trip is making headlines, considering he's leaving office soon 
. I mean, you'd think there are more pressing issues to discuss, but I guess economics and higher ed are always good for a stir 
. We'll see how it plays out in Scotland - hope Trump doesn't bring too much of that 'divided we fall' vibe 
.
I feel for Ted Carter and his team at Ohio State University. They seem super committed to doing things the right way.
. It feels like every time one of them travels, there's some huge news story brewing about it. I mean, what's the big deal about President Trump going to Scotland? Is it really going to have such a massive impact on our economy or higher education system? 
.
. But what really got me was that conversation about higher education β Ohio State University president Ted Carter seems like a straight shooter, you know? Heβs not afraid to speak truth to power and stand up for his institution even if it means ruffling some feathers 
. We should be supporting people like him who are willing to take on the tough issues and fight for what's right 
.
. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. One thing for sure, I'm keeping a close eye on my investments 
also, ted carter's comments on ohio state university made me think - have we seen a decline in academic freedom in the us? seems like gov't control over edu is becoming more and more prevalent...anyways, what are your thoughts? 
. But seriously, who knew economics could be so exciting? I mean, I've seen more thrilling stuff in my Fantasy Football league drafts 
.
.
The fact that he's tryin' to make this all about economic stability before he leaves office just feels like he's tryin' to cover his tracks. And what's with the secrecy around these meetings between Trump and Powell? It's like they're tryin' to keep somethin' under wraps... 
I hope Carter and other university presidents can keep standin' firm against these kinds of efforts...
... don't get me wrong, transparency is important, but shouldn't we be focusing on supporting our students & faculty rather than just trying to control everything? Here's a quick diagram of what's going on:
