Trump Fires Warning Shot at Fed Chair Powell—Legal Showdown Looms
Former President Trump escalates his feud with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, threatening unprecedented legal action. The move rattles markets already jittery about monetary policy—because nothing says 'stable economy' like a political circus targeting central bankers.
Powell's inflation fight now faces a new wildcard: courtroom drama. Traders brace for volatility as Trump's gambit injects fresh uncertainty into rate-cut expectations. Meanwhile, Wall Street shrugs—another day, another distraction from actual fundamentals.
Legal Action Against Chairman Powell
Fed Chairman Powell is not reducing interest rates, even though five members currently support a rate cut. TRUMP is pressuring Powell due to the cooling in employment and the negative impacts of high interest on the economy. Trump, who previously declared billions of dollars in public losses over the years due to Fed building renovations, now states, “I am considering allowing a huge lawsuit against Powell,” which is unsettling for the cryptocurrency market.
MUST reduce the interest rate NOW. Steve ‘Manouychin’ truly gave me a “nice” gift by supporting this weak man. The damage caused by Powell’s consistent tardiness is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is so strong that we surpassed Powell and his egotistical Board easily. However, I have begun contemplating a substantial lawsuit against Powell for his terrible and extremely incompetent handling of the construction of Fed buildings.
A $50 million repair job cost $3 billion. Not good at all!”
Kugler resigned last week, months before his term ended. Trump wants Powell to do the same by May or hold an emergency meeting to reduce interest rates by 300 basis points to decrease the cost of U.S. interest. It seems Powell faces sleepless nights ahead. However, Powell’s resignation or rate reduction by Trump’s command could ignite discussions of Fed politicization, undermine trust in the institution, and adversely affect the economy.
