He should be fired. No need to raise the rates, other than harm the president. Trump can no more fire Powell than he can fire a judge he appointed and whose rulings he doesn't approve of. Powell is in there for his four year term as Fed chair unless impeached.

Is the Fed a fourth branch of government?
