President Trump vs. Jerome Powell, “His Termination Can’t Come Soon Enough”

Go to Article

Who here doesn’t love Jerome Powell and Federal Reserve?

I mean, they’re only keeping their foot on the necks of American citizens via never-ending usury, interest, inflation and debt.

And Powell thinks the economy is doing pretty good.

Well, President Trump thinks it’s time for him to go.

You see, President Trump wants to cut rate. Fed Chair Jerome Powell doesn’t.

With inflation still not fixed, these two are clashing hard over how to steer the economy.

The Fed seems to want us just barely above water, enough to get a few gulps of air before we go under for a while, feel the fear of drowning, then back up for another gulp. (Repeat cycle until the world ends.)

President Trump on the other hand, wants us to prosper, to thrive and not be in survive mode.

The Fed = scarcity mindset.

Trump = abundance mindset.

The two are at war with each other.

And Trump threatens to fire him.

And he usually gets his way.

Start packing, Powell.

It’s too late for this guy.

The Hill reports:

President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell are facing off over how the central bank will respond to the economic impact of the White House’s trade war.

Trump and Powell appear to be locked on a collision course with each other as the Fed has maintained a pause in rate cuts in response to sticky inflation while Trump’s tariffs promise additional upward pressure on prices.

As Powell sounds the alarm over the stagflationary risks of Trump’s tariff policies, the president is calling for interest rate cuts and threatening to fire the Fed chief.

Trump spoke multiple times on Thursday about his desire to remove Powell from his position as chair of the Fed’s board of governors, which could be illegal as per a 90-year-old Supreme Court ruling.

“Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!” Trump wrote in an early morning social media post, in which he accused the Fed chief of being late to cut interest rates and exhorting him to do so.

Later in the day, Trump stressed his ability to fire Powell despite the Fed chief’s insistence that he cannot be fired and will not leave before the end of his term.

“If I want him out, he’ll be out of there real fast, believe me,” Trump said.

“Oh, he’ll leave. If I ask him to, he’ll be out of there,” Trump told reporters. “I don’t think he’s doing the job. He’s too late. Always too late. A little slow. And I’m not happy with him. I let him know it.”
