Trump has launched a fiery attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling for his immediate termination after slamming the Fed’s latest economic report as a “complete mess.” Trump accused Powell of being “too late and wrong” on interest rate policy and compared him unfavorably to the European Central Bank, which just issued its seventh rate cut in a year. The outburst follows Powell’s stark warning that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could drive the U.S. into stagflation. With Powell’s term running through 2026 and legal protections in place, Trump’s demand has ignited a constitutional debate over presidential power and the independence of America’s central bank.

U.S President Donald Trump has shared a TikTok video claiming he intentionally crashed the stock market to push the Federal Reserve into slashing interest rates. The video—originally posted by a user named “AmericaPapaBear”—suggests Trump’s economic tactics could benifit poor Americans. It falsely claims Warren Buffett praised Trump’s strategies as the best in 50 years. Meanwhile, J.P. Morgan has increased the chances of a recession as market volatility continues to rise.

Harvard University lawsuit targets the Trump administration over a federal funding freeze exceeding $2.2 billion. The prestigious institution has taken legal action in Massachusetts federal court, calling the move "unlawful" and an attack on academic independence. Trump’s government alleges campus antisemitism and is pushing universities to meet ideological demands. Harvard argues the funding block is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment. Other elite universities are also under pressure, but none have taken as bold a stance. This legal battle could redefine academic freedom and federal authority in the U.S.
