#TrumpVsPowell The hashtag **#TrumpVsPowell** highlights the clash between **Donald Trump** and **Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell**. Trump appointed Powell in 2017 but later blasted him for raising interest rates, accusing the Fed of undermining economic growth. Despite Trump’s pressure, Powell maintained the Fed’s independence. Now, as Trump runs for president again, the Fed’s rate decisions could impact the 2024 election. If high rates slow the economy, Trump may blame Powell; if cuts fuel inflation, he’ll criticize that too. The tension reflects broader debates over central bank autonomy, political influence, and economic policy ahead of a pivotal election.
