On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal urged President Trump not to pursue his threat to shoot at the Federal Reserve Speaker Jerome Powell, warning that the consequences will be worse than the current situation.

“It is often difficult to know when President Trump is serious about something, or just created distraction. But if this really means this week when Republican legislators told that he might shoot at the Federal Reserve Speaker Jerome Powell, we have some tips:” Don’t do that. “

The Board of Directors admitted Trump’s frustration with Powell, who resisted Trump’s calls for additional prices, and has repeatedly indicated the Federal Reserve’s need to monitor any potential inflationary consequences of Trump’s tariff.

“But love or hatred of Mr. Powell, chosen by Mr. Trump,” added the council. “Mr. Trump also chose customs tariff taxes, and a large number of growth and spending tax on the new budget bill. The president now must live with his options.”

The Board of Directors also indicated that there is no clear alternative to Powell and that “Powell has indicated that he and the Federal Reserve Bank will sue any attempt to remove it prematurely.”

“It is likely to win,” Board the Board of Directors. “Although the Supreme Court recently expanded the president’s control of appointments in semi -independent agencies, the judges have made it clear that they are looking at the federal reserve as an exception.”

The Board of Directors urged Trump to show “some unusual restrictions” and indicated that the importance of Powell appears to be independent of the White House.

“Mr. Powell is likely to prefer to reduce prices this year, and the data that allows this. But he realizes that he is to defend the independence of the Federal Federal Reserve, which cannot be seen as it is easily rising to the pressure of the White House.” “Mr. Trump makes it difficult for the Federal Reserve Bank to do what he would like every time he sets out by Mr. Powell.”

The council added: “It is in the interest of everyone, including Mr. Trump, to see the markets that this person is a dangerous policymaker and not from the oval office.” “Some unusual restraint by Mr. Trump makes it easy for his favorite candidate to maneuver at a later time.”

The stock market constantly wore and fell on Wednesday amid conflicting reports on whether Trump was preparing to topple the Federal Reserve Chair. The period of Powell’s state is scheduled to end in May 2026, and his term will end as a member of the Federal Reserve Governor in 2028.

Trump waved a draft dismissal letter for a heel in a meeting with about ten Republicans in the House of Representatives in the Oval Office on Tuesday night, where the attendees resigned about whether the ax should fall into the besieged Federal Reserve, according to a report in the New York Times.

Trump then retracted the threat on Wednesday, and told the White House journalists: “We are not planning to do anything.”

But he did not take the option outside the table, saying: “I do not rule out anything, but I think it is very unlikely. Unless he had to leave for fraud.”

Republican Senate Trump warned against taking action against the Federal Reserve Speaker, who is likely to lack power and that this will send a “shock wave” through the economy.
