President Donald Trump released a cartoon image on Saturday, in which he dismissed Jerome Powell’s chairman of the Federal Reserve.

The contribution about truth social was a picture of himself that showed his finger and screamed: “You are fired!” To Powell, who held a box with his things. Behind them is a representation of the seal of the Federal Reserve.

According to the visual analysis by Chatgpt, the picture seems to be “with AI generated or digitally illustrated”.

Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for his cautious approach to reduce interest rates and cups him “too late Powell”. The most recent threat even came when the central bank lowered interest for the first time this year. Powell’s term as chairman ends in May 2026.

The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.

Removal of the top central banker would be unprecedented, since no US president has ever tried, even though other former Fed chairman criticized. A recent decision by the Supreme Court showed that the president is not authorized to remove the Fed officials at will. Powell repeatedly said that his shooting “is not permitted according to the law”.

The Trump White House has blown up Powell in Washington’s Washington headquarters in Washington and awakened that Trump could try to remove the Fed leader for reasons. Although Trump has recently made his criticism of the Fed building easier, while she is still loud that Powell violates the economy by keeping the installments too high from his point of view.

Trump tried to feed the governor Lisa Cook in August for suspected mortgage fraud. The Supreme Court will soon decide on this matter. The Ministry of Justice announced on Friday in a Supreme Court that the dismissal of Cook would not harm the financial markets due to suspected misconduct. Cook’s lawyers argued in a previous submission to the High Court that their distance could ruin the independence of feeding.

So far, the financial markets have shown little on Trump’s Powell threats or Cooks. Although many economists and investors believe that the dismissal of Powell could end, long -term interest rates could rise in relation to the idea that the Fed would start in Trump’s interests and not according to their double mandate from the congress of stable inflation and low unemployment.
