TrumpVsPowell

Powell refuses Trump’s demand to resign—what a showdown!

Trump shouts: “Powell! Resign now!”

Powell calmly replies: “You can’t fire me like that.”

Trump pleads: “Come on, I’m begging you!”

Powell stays firm: “Not happening!”

Here’s the deal:

The President can’t directly fire the Fed Chair.

Why? Because the Fed Chair serves a 14-year term and can only be removed through official procedures—not just by yelling.

Throwback to 2018:

Powell hiked interest rates, markets dipped, and Trump was furious—called it “like getting kicked by a donkey!” But still, he couldn’t force Powell out.

Bottom line:

The Fed holds major financial power. Trump pushed hard, but Powell didn’t budge: “The more pressure, the stronger I stand.”

Internet's loving it:

“Trump: Please quit! Powell: Nope! Loop continues…”

“The Fed: I answer to the economy, not the President!”

“Next episode: ‘Powell vs Pressure!’”

Fun fact:

The Federal Reserve runs the economy’s engine. The President may yell, but the Fed doesn’t flinch.
