#TrumpVsPowell The hashtag #TrumpVsPowell symbolizes the ongoing confrontation between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Since his appointment by Trump in 2017, Powell has been criticized for raising interest rates, which Trump sees as a hindrance to stock market growth. Recently, in April 2025, Trump expressed his desire to replace him, stating that his dismissal "cannot come soon enough." Powell, for his part, maintains that the law guarantees him a four-year term and that he will not resign under political pressure. This confrontation highlights the tensions between the independence of the central bank and political pressures, exacerbated by disagreements over monetary policy and interest rates.
