Trump confirmed Wednesday he discussed firing Powell with lawmakers, saying most advised him to do it, but insisted he has no imminent plans and denied drafting a letter despite The New York Times’ report. The president cited frustration over Powell not cutting interest rates and criticized the Fed building’s costly $2 billion renovation. While some allies believe Trump is merely antagonizing Powell, the existence of the draft letter indicates serious consideration of an unprecedented move. Legally, firing a Fed chair requires “cause” like malfeasance, not policy disputes, a protection recently upheld by the Supreme Court. Economists warn that markets, currently dismissing Trump’s threats, could react severely if he pursues removal, risking economic fallout.
