#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
