We will miss Jerome Powell's chairmanship of the Fed. He is a nice guy. He did the best that he could as Fed chair from February 5, 2018, through May 15, 2026, when his term as chair expires. Nevertheless, he said he intends to remain a Fed governor for now. He can do so until his term on the Board of Governors expires on January 31, 2028.
President Donald Trump doesn't share our affection for Powell. He certainly wasn't nice to Powell. In any event, Trump focused more of his wrath on Iran today. The President posted a message on Truth Social expressing frustration with the stalled nuclear negotiations. He urged Iran to "get smart soon" and explicitly wrote, "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!"
