Trump vs Powell: Two figures, two visions
Today, the contrast between Donald Trump, former President of the United States, and Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, remains striking. Trump embodies a populist, short-term oriented policy, marked by spectacular economic decisions and a desire for control, even over independent institutions. On his part, Powell, although appointed by Trump, symbolizes rigor, caution, and long-term economic stability. While Trump prioritizes immediate impact and bold announcements, Powell operates discreetly, relying on data and economic trends. Their opposition highlights a fundamental divide: spectacle politics versus substantive politics. Two visions, two styles, but one common issue: the economic future of the United States.
