Trump Mocks Fed Chair Powell in Meme Post Amid Interest Rate Dispute
Former President Donald TRUMP escalated his long-running critique of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a satirical meme posted on Truth Social. The image depicts Trump firing Powell in a staged office dismissal, accompanied by the former president's signature "YOU'RE FIRED" catchphrase.
The visual jab underscores Trump's persistent dissatisfaction with monetary policy decisions. Powell's cautious approach to interest rate cuts has drawn particular ire, with Trump dubbing him "Too Late Powell" for perceived delays in economic stimulus measures.
Market analysts note such political tensions could introduce volatility in traditional markets, potentially driving capital toward decentralized assets. Cryptocurrencies often benefit from institutional uncertainty, though no direct crypto market movements were immediately tied to this development.
