#TrumpVsPowell Trump bashed Powell, whom he appointed to the position during his first term in 2018, in a Truth Social post early Thursday morning, writing “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!”

“If I want him out, he’ll be out of there real fast, believe me,” Trump told reporters later that day. “I’m not happy with him. I let him know it.”

Powell drew Trump’s ire after he offered a grim assessment Wednesday of the economic outlook in light of Trump’s massive tariff overhaul announced April 3. The remarks prompted a steep drop in securities markets. #BTC
