Trump blasts Federal Reserve Chair Powell: Questions about competence or integrity

2026-01-13 15:40:09

【BlockBeats】U.S. President Trump recently criticized Federal Reserve Chair Powell, stating that either he lacks the ability or has a problem with his conduct—basically, his job performance is not up to par.

House Speaker Johnson followed up, saying that if Powell is truly innocent, an investigation will naturally prove it. He insists that the Department of Justice continue to investigate Powell thoroughly.

This controversy reflects Washington’s disagreements over Federal Reserve policies. Powell’s decisions directly impact U.S. interest rate trends, which in turn cause ripple effects on the global financial markets—including capital flows in the cryptocurrency market. Investors need to closely monitor these high-level political developments, as they often serve as invisible catalysts for market volatility.

Powell, this guy is really a puller, raising interest rates to a high... retail investors lose everything, who cares?

Powell, this guy, really got caught in the crossfire... In the end, this political struggle still comes down to us retail investors footing the bill. When interest rates move, we need to think carefully about where the funds are flowing.

Here we go again, politicians blaming each other, and us in the crypto world have to watch interest rate fluctuations and lose money... Powell really is the scapegoat. --- The Federal Reserve's mess is causing panic, and it seems our capital flow entirely depends on the faces of a few people in Washington? --- Wait, let's investigate, investigate, investigate. Is it really going to uncover anything this time? --- I don't know if Powell is capable or not, but anyway, BTC has recently been pushed down again by his decisions. --- This guy controls interest rates, affecting everything; no wonder Trump is criticizing him, especially with the economic situation before the election. --- Basically, it's political infighting, and retail investors are the ones who end up paying the price—that's the reality. --- Is it a lack of ability or character issues? I don't know, but it definitely affects my assets...
