Former President Donald Trump has launched fresh criticism at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of mishandling interest rates and slowing economic growth. Trump claims Powell’s policies are "killing the American dream," while suggesting rate cuts should have happened sooner. This marks another chapter in their long-standing feud, with Trump previously blaming Powell for market volatility during his presidency. Meanwhile, Powell maintains the Fed's independence and stresses decisions are data-driven, not political. As election season heats up, Trump’s attacks appear aimed at shaping economic narratives and rallying his base. The tension underscores ongoing debates over monetary policy. #TrumpVsPowell
