#TrumpVsPowell Powell vs. Trump: The Clash of Power
In a fiery standoff, Trump demands: “Powell, resign now!”
Powell, unfazed, fires back: “You can’t fire me like that.”
Trump doubles down: “Come on, I’m begging you!”
Powell stands tall: “Not happening.”
Here’s the reality:
The President cannot directly remove the Fed Chair. Why? Because the Fed Chair serves a 14-year term and can only be ousted through a formal process—not political pressure.
Flashback to 2018:
Powell raised interest rates. Markets dipped. Trump raged, calling it “like getting kicked by a donkey!” But even then, Powell stayed the course.
The Message Is Clear:
The Fed answers to the economy, not the Oval Office. Trump pushed hard—Powell didn’t blink:
> “The more pressure, the stronger I stand.”
Social Media Erupts:
“Trump: Quit! Powell: No! Repeat!”
“The Fed isn’t your employee, Mr. President.”
“Next episode: Powell vs. Pressure!”
Fun Fact:
The Federal Reserve holds the throttle to the U.S. economy. Presidents can shout, but the Fed drives steady.
