Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) announced on X that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s days are numbered.
Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported that Trump called on Powell to resign, saying on Truth Social, “‘Too Late,’ should resign immediately!!!”
Speaking to the press outside the White House on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he would fire Powell.
President Trump replied, “No….I think he’s doing a terrible job. I think we should be three points lower interest rate. He’s costing our country a lot of money. We should be number one, and we’re not. And that’s because of Jerome Powell….In terms of interest…”
“We are number one in the world. Look, I’ll tell you a little simple language. One year ago, our country was a dead country. We were going nowhere except down. We were the laughing stock all over the world.”
“And now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. We’re number one everywhere, anywhere in the world. And that’s all they’re talking about, is our country.”
“One year ago, it was a dead country. Now it’s the hottest country anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
On Tuesday night, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna declared that the firing of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is “imminent.”
“Hearing Jerome Powell is getting fired! From a very serious source,” Luna wrote on her personal X account.
Rep. Luna cited a “very serious source” confirming the imminent ouster, stating she’s “99% sure” it’s happening.

Powell, appointed by Trump in 2018 but quickly turning into a thorn in the side of real economic reform, has been accused of weaponizing the Fed against the American people.
Under his watch, inflation soared to levels not seen in decades, thanks to reckless money-printing during the Biden era that Powell failed to rein in.
President Trump has made it clear: the Fed needs to be brought to heel. In recent interviews, Trump expressed disappointment with Powell, saying he “raised rates too fast” and hurt the economy.
It can be recalled that last week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is considering resigning, according to Bill Pulte, Chairman of the Board of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
“I’m encouraged by reports that Jerome Powell is considering resigning. I think this will be the right decision for America, and the economy will boom,” Pulte said.
As previously reported, Jerome Powell took a shot at President Trump last Tuesday and said the Fed would have likely lowered interest rates if not for Trump’s tariffs.
President Trump inherited high inflation, a stalled economy, and high unemployment from Joe Biden, and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is refusing to slash interest rates.
The Fed can stimulate the economy and the real estate market by lowering interest rates; however, Chairman Jerome Powell has left interest rates unchanged since Trump was sworn into office this year.
