#TrumpVsPowell : A Clash of Economic Visions

The hashtag #TrumpVsPowell highlights the growing tension between former President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump has long criticized Powell for raising interest rates during his presidency, arguing that such moves hindered economic growth and market performance. As the 2024 presidential election looms, Trump’s rhetoric has intensified, suggesting he may seek to replace Powell if re-elected. Meanwhile, Powell maintains that the Fed's decisions are driven by inflation data and long-term economic stability—not political pressure. This clash reflects a broader debate over central bank independence and how monetary policy should balance growth with inflation control.
