#特朗普施压鲍威尔 #特朗普施压鲍威尔

1. Recently, Trump has fiercely criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, accusing him of "playing politics" and wanting to fire him early, but he has no such power. Powell's term lasts until May 2026, and a successor is typically determined in the second half of 2025. It is said that Trump wants to replace Powell with former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, but Warsh has stated that Powell should complete his term. Powell firmly responded to the question, "If Trump asks you to resign, will you?" with "NO," and also mentioned the risks of the trade war harming the economy and inflation. It has become very clear that the two do not get along.

2. It is indeed noticeable that Powell is clearly more aligned with the Democrats, using independence as an excuse and not showing Trump a good face. Before Biden's campaign, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates twice to support the stock market. Now that the campaign is over, the stock market has fallen significantly, and there is considerable pressure on U.S. debt, yet they are not cutting interest rates, just stating they will not cut rates in May. The internal struggles in the U.S. are quite complicated, and many people want to see Trump make a fool of himself, which is true.
