#PowellVsTrump This is the ongoing tension and conflict between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States.
The Conflict: During and after his presidency, Trump has repeatedly criticized Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve for its monetary policy, especially its decisions on interest rates. Trump has always pushed for lower interest rates, believing they would stimulate economic growth and benefit his political agenda. Powell, on the other hand, has maintained that the Fed's decisions are based on data and aim to ensure long-term economic stability and control inflation, regardless of political pressure.
