#TrumpVsPowell Sure — here’s a polished rephrasing of your text:
President Donald Trump is intensifying pressure on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, accusing him of playing political games and demanding an immediate interest rate cut. Trump has asserted that he holds the authority to dismiss Powell, even though the law only permits removal for “just cause,” such as misconduct or failure to fulfill official duties. In response, Powell has made it clear that he will not resign at the President’s request and that the law does not allow for his dismissal under these circumstances.
Meanwhile, Trump is reportedly considering former Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh as a potential replacement for Powell. Warsh, known for his criticism of excessive government spending and his advocacy for central bank digital currencies, has previously advised against removing Powell before his term concludes in May 2026.
This escalating conflict has sparked concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence and its potential impact on financial markets. Experts caution that political interference in the central bank’s operations could weaken investor confidence and trigger economic instability.
