1. President Trump has abandoned his attacks on Powell.

2. President Trump has been speaking in conciliatory about tariffs.

But doesn’t it sound as though President Trump thought he had it within his power to axe him?

[dynoman]

Yeah. Fed chairs have terms, the termination of his term can't come fast enough. Powell oversaw the biggest spending spree in American history and the wildest printing of money. Then when the inevitable inflation hit, he raised interest. That was a one two punch from the FED.

“Investors” aren’t smart.

“ Trust but verify.”

He said what he said.
And now he’s said he won’t try to fire him.
The markets like that .
That’s a good thing.

And this is what he said last week;

“said last week of Powell, “If I want him out of there, he’ll be out real fast.”
