#TrumpVsPowell **#TrumpVsPowell: Economic Tug of War**

The hashtag **#TrumpVsPowell** highlights the high-stakes tension between former U.S. President **Donald Trump** and Federal Reserve Chair **Jerome Powell** during Trump’s presidency. Trump frequently criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates aggressively enough to stimulate economic growth. He publicly blamed Powell for slowing the economy, especially ahead of the 2020 election, while Powell defended the Fed’s independence and data-driven decisions. This clash symbolized a rare and intense political pressure on the central bank, raising concerns about monetary policy independence. The conflict became a defining moment in U.S. economic leadership and global market perception during that period.
