Powell Freezes Rates Amid Booming Economy — Trump Demands Immediate Termination
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is once again under fire — and this time, it’s not just rhetorical. Despite strong economic indicators, surging productivity, falling prices, and tariff-driven growth, Powell announced Wednesday that he would not lower interest rates, keeping them pinned between 4.25% and 4.5%.
“I think the economy is doing fine,” Powell claimed during his remarks, adding that the Fed will “await further clarity” before adjusting monetary policy.
Clarity? Or cowardice?
The decision flies in the face of global economic trends. The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates for a seventh time. Meanwhile, America — once the undisputed engine of global markets under President Trump — is being left in the dust.
Trump Unleashes: “Terminate Powell Now”
President Trump wasted no time slamming the Fed chair he once appointed, branding him “Too Late Jerome” for his chronic delay and policy misfires. Trump called Powell’s latest report “a complete mess,” adding:
“Oil prices are down, groceries (even eggs!) are down, and the USA is getting RICH ON TARIFFS. Powell should’ve lowered interest rates long ago, and he must lower them now. His termination cannot come fast enough!”
Trump’s blistering rebuke echoed long-standing concerns: Powell’s policies are not just wrong — they’re destructive.
The 2018 Crash That Should Have Ended Powell’s Career
This isn’t Powell’s first economic blunder. During Trump’s first term, America saw record-breaking economic performance: booming stock markets, historic GDP growth, and soaring consumer confidence. Then Powell stepped in.
In October 2018, after Trump’s 103rd stock market record since his election, Powell spooked investors with reckless talk of rate hikes. The result?
-
Dow Jones plunged over 5,000 points
-
Markets lost 18.7% of their value
-
The crash surpassed even the market reaction to 9/11
Americans watched in horror as their 401(k)s vanished and middle-class wealth evaporated. Powell’s arrogance turned a thriving economy into a financial disaster.
Failure by Design or Incompetence?
Was it sabotage, or just stupidity? That’s the burning question. Powell’s track record includes:
-
Adding billions in debt
-
Slamming the brakes on Trump’s momentum
-
Wiping out trillions in household wealth
-
Failing to reach 3.0% GDP — despite every tool at his disposal
Powell’s actions have consistently aided political opponents of Trump while punishing working-class Americans who depend on economic stability.
Time’s Up
Jerome Powell is not just a failed bureaucrat — he’s a liability to America’s financial future. With President Trump leading a national comeback, there’s no room for Powell’s dithering and destruction.
It’s time to remove the clown from the Fed.
