May 20, 2025: A reported court ruling has sparked speculation that President Trump could have the authority to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, potentially paving the way for interest rate cuts. However, no official sources confirm this ruling, and legal protections under the Federal Reserve Act suggest Powell’s position remains secure absent misconduct. Stay tuned for verified updates!
President Donald Trump, who nominated Jerome Powell to lead the Federal Reserve in 2017, recently stated he has “no intention” of firing the central bank chair before his term ends in 2026. This marks a shift from Trump’s escalated rhetoric, where he hinted at the unprecedented step of ousting him over disagreements on interest rate policies. Trump’s push for lower rates to counter his tariff-driven economic agenda has clashed with Powell’s warnings of potential inflation and slower growth. Despite the de-escalation, which calmed markets, Trump’s continued pressure suggests the Fed’s independence remains under strain as he tests the limits of his influence.
Trump’s frustration centers on the Fed’s refusal to cut interest rates, which he says hinders growth.
Powell, whose term lasts until May 2026, has stressed the Fed’s independence. Removing him would require proving misconduct, a legal challenge no president has won. The move could test the Fed’s autonomy.

He reiterated support for tax-free tipped wages and suggested that further tax cuts could stimulate the economy and aid in debt reduction.
Tariffs: Trump proposed a reciprocal tariff policy, where the U.S. would impose equivalent tariffs on countries that impose tariffs on American goods.

Electric Vehicles (EVs): Trump criticized the push for all-electric cars, pointing out dependency on China for EV production and advocating for a mixed approach that includes hybrids and gasoline-powered vehicles. He argued that while electric cars have their place, they are currently too expensive and impractical for widespread use.
Cryptocurrency: Trump sees a significant potential for cryptocurrency in the U.S. economy, criticizing the Biden administration's approach to regulation. He believes that embracing crypto could position the U.S. as a global leader in this emerging market.
