#TrumpVsPowell **Trump vs. Powell: A Clash Over Monetary Policy**

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of keeping interest rates too high for political reasons. Trump, who appointed Powell in 2018, now blames him for hindering economic growth ahead of the 2024 election. Powell, however, has maintained a data-driven approach, prioritizing inflation control over political pressure.

The tension highlights the delicate balance between central bank independence and partisan influence. While Trump pushes for lower rates to boost markets, Powell remains cautious, warning against premature cuts that could reignite inflation. Their feud underscores the high-stakes battle over America’s economic future.
