#TrumpVsPowell The Ultimate Power Struggle!**
The Fed’s independence is on full display as Powell stands firm against Trump’s demands. Despite Trump’s fiery plea—*“Resign now!”*—Powell coolly responds: *“Not happening.”* Why? The Fed Chair’s 14-year term shields them from political pressure, ensuring economic decisions aren’t swayed by presidential tantrums.
Throwback to 2018: Powell hiked rates, markets dipped, and Trump compared it to *“getting kicked by a donkey!”* Yet, he couldn’t force Powell out. The lesson? The Fed answers to the economy, not the Oval Office.
**Internet’s take:**
*“Trump: Quit! Powell: Try harder.”*
*“The Fed: Unshaken, unstirred.”*
**Bottom line:** Pressure only makes Powell stronger. 💪🔥 #FedIndependence #MarketMoves
