#TrumpVsPowell Powell vs. Trump: The Showdown We Didn't Know We Needed

Trump (shouting): “Powell! Resign now!”

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

Trump (pleading): “Come on, I’m begging you!”

Powell (firm): “Not happening.”

Here’s the scoop:

The President can’t just fire the Fed Chair. Powell’s in for a 14-year term, and removal requires a formal process—not just presidential pressure or public tantrums.

Flashback to 2018:

Powell raised interest rates. Markets dipped. Trump fumed—said it felt “like getting kicked by a donkey!” Still, no dice. He couldn’t boot him then, and he can’t do it now.

The takeaway:

The Federal Reserve isn’t the President’s puppet. It’s an independent powerhouse managing the economy. Trump pushed hard, but Powell stood his ground:

“The more pressure, the stronger I stand.”

The internet’s eating it up:

Trump: “Please quit!” Powell: “No.” Repeat.

“The Fed answers to data, not drama.”

Coming soon: “Powell vs. Pressure – Season 2!”

Fun fact:

The Fed runs the economy’s engine. The President may yell, but Powell’s not flinching.
