“If I Want Him Out, He’ll Be Out Real Fast!” – Trump Says Powell “Playing Politics” Over Rate-Cuts

The ongoing battle between the White House and the Eccles Building escalated today, with President Trump asserting his authority to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump expressed his confidence in his ability to swiftly oust Powell from his position, stating, “If I want him out, he’ll be out of there real fast, believe me.”

The President criticized Powell for “playing politics” with interest rates, stating that he is “not happy” with the Fed Chair. The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has been privately discussing firing Powell for months but has not made a final decision on the matter.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has opposed efforts to replace Powell, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the Fed’s independence in monetary policy decisions. Elizabeth Warren warned of dire consequences if Powell is removed, while Trump took to TruthSocial to criticize Powell’s handling of interest rates.

Despite Trump’s public statements, the legal framework limits the President’s ability to unilaterally remove the Fed Chair without just cause. Powell himself has stated that he would not resign if asked by Trump, citing legal constraints on such actions.

The ECB’s decision to cut rates for the seventh time highlighted the global economic challenges, contrasting with the Fed’s reluctance to do the same. Trump’s frustration with Powell may stem from perceived inconsistencies in the Fed’s actions, especially in comparison to the PBOC’s efforts in China.

As the debate over Powell’s future continues, the Fed’s independence and the potential consequences of his removal remain key points of contention. The President’s ability to influence the central bank’s decisions is limited by legal constraints and historical precedents, highlighting the delicate balance between political pressures and institutional credibility.
