#特朗普称无意解雇鲍威尔
Trump said "I have no plans to fire Powell"? Don't be naive, this is a high-level operation in political drama.
On the surface, all seems calm, but underneath, there are turbulent undercurrents. Looking back at history, Trump fiercely criticized Powell during his term: interest rates are rising too quickly, causing his stock market to fall, affecting economic performance. He even openly stated, "I have the right to fire him"—now suddenly claiming he didn't mean that?
This doesn't seem like a real "let go"; it feels more like a tactical delay. On one hand, with the elections approaching, Trump wants to shape an image of "steady control over the financial situation"; on the other hand, if the Federal Reserve does not cooperate with rate cuts at critical moments, the "Powell time bomb" could explode at any moment.
More critically, Powell's term lasts until 2026, and if Trump returns to the White House, he will face an "obstructive" independent central bank leader. Should he endure? Or simply find an opportunity to force him out?
What does the statement "no intention to fire" mean? Who is it for? The market? Voters? Or the Federal Reserve itself?
This is not compromise; it's groundwork.
