#TrumpVsPowell Powell Stands His Ground as Trump Demands Resignation — What a Showdown! Trump, shouting: “Powell! Resign now!” Powell, cool as ever: “You don’t have the power to fire me.” Trump, exasperated: “Come on, I’m begging you!” Powell, unshaken: “Not gonna happen.” Here’s the scoop: The President can’t directly fire the Federal Reserve Chair. Why? The Fed Chair serves a 14-year term and can only be removed through formal procedures—not presidential pressure or public outbursts. Flashback to 2018: Powell raised interest rates. The markets reacted. Trump was livid—said it felt “like getting kicked by a donkey!” But even then, he couldn’t push Powell out. The bottom line: The Fed holds enormous sway over the economy, and Powell made it clear: “The more pressure, the stronger I stand.” Internet reactions are priceless: “Trump: Please resign! Powell: Nah.” “The Fed Chair: Serving the economy, not the ego.” “Next episode: Powell vs. Presidential Pressure—stay tuned!”
