Donald Trump has made clear that he has no plans to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, and while that’s reassuring to some, it’s time to recognize the real issue here: Powell’s reluctance to lower interest rates. In a moment where economic stimulus is crucial, it’s disappointing to see Powell’s hesitance to act. The reality is simple—this is exactly the time to cut interest rates and fuel our economy.
Let’s take a closer look at the newly confirmed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. He brings a history with him, having served on the commission prior to the 2008 financial crisis. Yet, despite the liberal attacks on him, he emerged victorious from a Senate confirmation process riddled with opposition. The left loves to demonize anyone who does not toe the line of their socialist agenda, but Atkins stands as a testament to bold leadership amidst the chaos.
Trump’s reticence to get rid of Powell is puzzling, especially when economies around the globe are shaking and crumbling under the weight of inflation and overregulation. The last thing American families and businesses need is the Fed holding back interest rate cuts that could provide relief. The president has a point; with the right action, we could stimulate growth, create jobs, and maintain the prosperity we fought so hard to achieve.

It’s clear that Powell needs to wake up and recognize the urgency of today’s economic landscape. Instead of blinking under pressure, he should act decisively. Is he too wrapped up in the globalist mindset? The world doesn’t need another indecisive bureaucrat, and American consumers certainly can’t afford it. Growth and opportunity are waiting, but we need leadership willing to seize them.
The bottom line here is that real conservative leadership requires more than just maintaining the status quo. It’s time to push hard for policies that will lower interest rates and revitalize our economy. Will Powell recognize this moment before it slips away? Or will he continue to be part of a larger, ineffective system that stifles American progress? The choice is clear—let’s demand bold moves, not complacent inaction.
