US EditionTrump posts meme poking fun at firing Powell
- On July 24, 2025, President Trump shared an illustrated image on Truth Social portraying himself dismissing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a visit to the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C.
- The post followed ongoing tensions including Trump’s repeated criticism of Powell’s cautious interest rate cuts and a recent Supreme Court decision limiting presidential removal authority over Fed officials.
- Powell emphasized caution, warning that aggressive rate cuts could leave inflation unfinished and disrupt the labor market, while the Department of Justice said firing Fed officials would not harm financial markets.
- Powell’s term ends in May 2026, and no U.S. president has ever attempted to fire a Fed chair, making such removal unprecedented and a key test of Fed independence.
- At the same time, the Trump administration sought to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook over accusations related to mortgage fraud, a move that is currently being contested in court, with financial markets largely unaffected by these developments.
