#TrumpVsPowell Trump vs Powell: Clash of Power and Policy**

The ongoing tension between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell underscores a pivotal battle between politics and economic stewardship. Trump, vocal about his 2024 ambitions, has repeatedly criticized Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he initially appointed, for aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at curbing inflation. Trump claims these moves risk recession and hurt “his” economy, while Powell defends the Fed’s independence, prioritizing data over political pressure. This feud highlights deeper divides: Trump’s populist push for short-term growth versus Powell’s mandate to stabilize prices. As 2024 looms, their duel could shape economic confidence—and voter sentiment. Who holds the real power: the president or the Fed.
