#TrumpVsPowell

The clash between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell reflects a deep tension between political ambition and economic stewardship. Trump, known for his aggressive stance on economic growth, often criticized Federal Reserve Chair Powell for not cutting interest rates fast enough during his presidency. He accused Powell of hindering economic expansion, especially during election periods. Powell, on the other hand, maintained the Fed’s independence, focusing on long-term stability over short-term gains. This conflict symbolizes the broader debate over how much influence political leaders should exert on central banking policy. As Trump eyes a comeback, the tension could reignite with greater intensity.
