🇺🇸 TRUMP vs. POWELL — ROUND FINAL
Trump is threatening to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he refuses to fully leave after his chairmanship expires May 15.
"Then I'll have to fire him" — Trump, Fox Business
⚡ Why the drama?
Powell won't confirm if he's leaving the Fed entirely
Trump blames him for keeping interest rates too high
A DOJ probe into a $3B+ Fed HQ renovation is adding fuel to the fire
Trump's pick to replace him — Kevin Warsh — is already nominated
⚠️ The catch? Firing a Fed chair is legally murky. The Supreme Court has ruled it requires "cause" — not just a policy disagreement.
