The #TrumpVsPowell issue centers around former President Donald Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump has repeatedly accused Powell of making poor monetary decisions, particularly around interest rate hikes during his presidency, which he claims slowed economic growth. Powell, on the other hand, has maintained that the Fed's actions are based on economic data, not political pressure. The tension highlights a broader debate over the Federal Reserve’s independence and the influence of politics on monetary policy. As Trump eyes a potential return to the White House, his renewed attacks on Powell could have implications for financial markets and Fed credibility.$VOXEL
