$ETH TrumpVsPowell: Clash of the Titans
Trump: “Powell, resign—now!”
Powell: “You don’t get to fire me like that.”
Trump: “Come on, I’m begging you!”
Powell: “Still a no.”
Here’s the scoop:
The Fed Chair isn’t like a cabinet member—you can’t just shout them out of office. Appointed for a 14-year term, they can only be removed via formal process. No shortcuts. No tantrums.
Flashback to 2018:
Powell raised interest rates. Markets dipped. Trump flipped.
He called it “like getting kicked by a donkey!”
But even then, he couldn’t boot Powell.
The takeaway:
The Fed plays by economic rules, not political ones.
Trump turned up the heat. Powell didn’t flinch.
“The more pressure, the stronger I stand.” —Powell, probably.
The internet’s eating it up:
“Trump: Quit! Powell: Nah.”
“The Fed: We serve the economy, not egos.”
“Next time on 'Powell vs Pressure'…”
Fun Fact:
The Fed runs the economy’s engine—and it’s built to resist political potholes.
