#TrumpVsPowell

#TrumpVsPowell refers to the ongoing tension between former President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The conflict began during Trump’s presidency when he criticized Powell for raising interest rates, claiming it hurt economic growth. Trump, who appointed Powell in 2018, later expressed regret over the decision, frequently attacking him on social media and in interviews. Trump argued that Powell’s policies were too restrictive and blamed him for slowing down the economy. In contrast, Powell maintained the Fed's independence, emphasizing long-term stability over political pressure. This feud underscores broader debates about the Fed’s role and independence. As Trump reemerges in political discourse, renewed scrutiny of Powell and the Fed may again take center stage.
