#TrumpVsPowell In 2025, the clash between Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell continues to intensify.

He’s even hinted at replacing Powell if he returns to office. Powell, however, remains firm, defending the Fed’s decisions as necessary to combat inflation and maintain economic stability.
