WASHINGTON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday that U.S. presidents should have a say over decisions made by the Federal Reserve.

"I feel the president should have at least (a) say in there," he told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

"I think that in my case, I made a lot of money, I was very successful, and I think I have a better instinct than in many cases, people that would be on the Federal Reserve or the chairman."
