Trump Erupts in Fury at Fed Chair Powell, Demands His Termination Over ‘Complete Mess’ Reports

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. #TrumpVsPowell #JeromePowell #FedChair #TrumpTweets #JayPowell #TrumpNews #TrumpBlastFed #FederalReserve #TrumpEconomicPolicy #TrumpAdministration #PowellNews #TrumpTwitter #USFedChair #TrumpTradePolicy #Trump ~PR.152~HT.410~GR.124~
