The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Powell has been a disaster as Fed chair, dismissing a $39 trillion national debt as no big deal while American families suffer the consequences. No Fed chair in over 70 years has clung to the Board after a term ends. Powell needs to go.
Anti-Trump narrative
Threatening to fire Powell is a losing move legally, politically and economically. The Supreme Court has already made clear the president lacks that authority. This is nothing more than Trump's latest political tantrum.
