#TrumpVsPowell Trump vs. Powell refers to the ongoing tensions between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump frequently criticized Powell during his presidency, accusing him of raising interest rates too quickly and hindering economic growth. Trump even considered removing Powell from his position, a rare and controversial move. Powell, on the other hand, maintained the Fed's independence, focusing on inflation and employment data to guide monetary policy. Their clash highlighted the delicate balance between political influence and economic governance, with Trump seeking control over monetary policy while Powell aimed to uphold institutional integrity and economic stability.
