Trump's Attempt to Fire Powell Fails

Mini-Story: Can Trump Fire Powell?

Scene: A tense Oval Office meeting in 2018. President Donald Trump glares at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell across the Resolute Desk.

Trump: (frustrated) 'Jerome, these rate hikes are killing me! The stock market’s down, and it’s all because of you. I put you in this job—I can take you out!'

Powell: (calmly) 'Mr. President, the Fed is independent. You can’t fire me over policy disagreements.'

Trump: (leaning forward) 'Oh yeah? Watch me!'

Cut to White House lawyers scrambling. A senior advisor pulls Trump aside.

Advisor: 'Sir, the law is clear—you can only remove a Fed chair for cause, like misconduct. Not just because you’re mad about interest rates.'

Trump: (grumbling) 'Then what’s the point of appointing him if I can’t control him?'

Later, Trump tweets:
'The Federal Reserve doesn’t know what they’re doing! Disappointing in Jerome. We’d be at 5% GDP if not for them. #NotMyFed'

Meanwhile, Powell, unfazed, raises rates again.

The End.

Reality Check:

Under the Federal Reserve Act, a Fed chair can only be removed 'for cause'—not over policy disputes. Trump publicly criticized Powell but never tried to fire him, knowing legal battles would follow. The Fed’s independence held.

Moral: Even presidents can’t always get what they want—especially when the economy’s at stake.
