#TrumpVsPowell The clash between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair, centers on economic control and interest rate policies. Trump, during his presidency, frequently criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates fast enough, believing it hindered economic growth and hurt his reelection chances. Powell, aiming to maintain the Fed's independence, resisted political pressure, focusing on inflation control and long-term stability. Their tension highlighted the delicate balance between monetary policy and political influence. As Trump eyes a return in 2024, questions arise whether he would try to remove Powell or pressure the Fed again, potentially disrupting central bank independence.
