Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell declines to step down
Hold onto your wallets, folks -- Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is digging in his heels despite a storm of pressure from the White House to pack his bags, as the Daily Caller reports.Reports surfaced on Friday from CNN (Fake News regarding Trump...can anyone believe what CNN says?) that Powell is standing firm against calls from President Donald Trump for him to resign. Several Republicans want him to resign over his reluctance to cut interest rates, with the Fed chair quietly assuring close allies he plans to serve until his term ends in May 2026.
This saga kicked off in recent months as Trump and other GOP figures ramped up their criticism of Powell’s monetary policy decisions. They argue that slashing rates could spur economic growth, but Powell isn’t budging. It’s a classic standoff between political demands and central bank independence.
Read about it...
Trump has said that firing Powell is not necessary...he should just cut interest rates. So, Trump has not pressured Jerome Powell to resign although many Reublicans have suggested that.
The president said Tuesday he doesn’t think Powell should resign before his term is up in May but bashed him for not lowering interest rates.

The economy is dong so good right now, and we have made billions off of tariffs, he should reduce interest rates and stop being so stubborn. We'll soon see what he does.
His stubbornness and hate are just like all the other liberal left haters do they really think that their hate is going to allow them to get into heaven? It's so sad to see all these people carrying so much hate with them so so sad for their lives for their future and for all of us overall in general! Hate never wins, love always wins over hate!
