Trump Renews Call for Fed’s Powell to Step Down Now

President Donald Trump has once again called for the resignation of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, escalating his criticism of the central bank’s monetary policy.

According to reliable sources, Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, demanding Powell’s immediate resignation. The President linked his comments to a Bloomberg report suggesting a congressional investigation of the Fed Chair.

Jerome Powell, initially nominated by Donald Trump during his first presidency and later reappointed by President Biden, is currently serving his second term as Federal Reserve Chairman. His tenure is set to conclude in May 2026.

President Trump has consistently advocated for lower interest rates, a position at odds with the Federal Reserve’s current stance. Reports indicate that Trump recently signed a letter to Powell urging a reduction in interest rates.

Chairman Powell has stated that the Fed’s decision to maintain current interest rates is influenced by concerns over the potential inflationary impacts of tariffs. The evidence suggests that the Federal Reserve is adopting a cautious approach, waiting to observe longer-term economic effects before considering rate adjustments.

This development raises important questions about the relationship between the executive branch and the Federal Reserve, an institution designed to operate independently of political pressure.
