Powell Defies Trump’s Demand to Resign – A Power Struggle Like No Other!
Trump erupts: “Powell! Get on your knees and sign the resignation letter!”
Powell, unfazed, replies coolly: “Begging won’t help. This chair doesn’t budge.”
Trump, refusing to give in: “I’m begging you! I’m begging you!”
Powell, cold and firm: “Impossible. The Fed Chair isn’t so easily toppled.”
💥 The Harsh Truth:
The Chairman of the Federal Reserve is nearly untouchable.
Appointed for a 14-year term, the Fed Chair operates independently of presidential control.
The President has no authority to fire them—only apply pressure or influence public opinion.
🔥 Flashback to 2018:
After Powell’s rate hikes led to a market plunge, Trump exploded: “It’s like I got kicked in the head by a donkey!” But despite the outrage, he was powerless to act.
⚖️ The Real Game:
The Federal Reserve holds the “financial nuclear codes.”
Trump’s attacks? A declaration of war.
Powell’s calm defiance? A masterclass in institutional independence.
Powell: “The more you plead, the stronger I stand.”
💬 Netizens Chime In:
“Trump: I beg you. Powell: No, YOU beg me!” – stuck in an infinite loop.
“Federal Reserve: My fate lies in my own hands, not yours.”
“This should be a series: ‘Federal Reserve: I Don’t Carry That Pot.’”
🧠 Knowledge Nugget:
The Fed is the guardian of America’s economic stability. The President? Limited to verbal jabs—unable to pull the strings of monetary policy directly.
