Could Trump Fire Powell—And Would That Trigger the Next Market Meltdown?

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we got so close to $4,000 before the year is over,” says Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, founder of BubbaTrading.com, referring to gold’s potential upside in 2025. In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, Bubba explains why gold and silver are not just inflation hedges but lifeboats in a manipulated market. “This inflation is not going away… and the Federal Reserve is doing everything but letting free markets work.” He also warns that cutting interest rates too soon could “destroy the market system as you know it,” and argues that only real assets, like gold and silver, can protect average Americans from a broken financial system.

The Trump-Powell feud just exploded into public view, and it’s more than political theater. This Trump Powell Fed showdown could determine the future of interest rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and whether your retirement accounts survive the next wave of inflation.

Here’s why this showdown matters now:

• Trump is actively seeking cause to remove Powell
• Markets briefly tanked when rumors of Powell’s resignation surfaced
• The Federal Reserve is under fire for manipulating markets and devaluing the dollar

These aren’t just headlines. They are tremors of a deeper structural rift in the U.S. economy.

Fed Policy: Weaponized for Political Gain

Let’s be clear. You can’t just fire the Fed Chair. But Trump is playing the long game.

• By exposing questionable Fed spending (like $3 billion on building renovations), Trump is building a case
• Powell’s tenure ends February 2026, but political pressure could lead to early resignation
• If Trump wins in November, expect a “puppet” replacement who favors radical rate cuts

Why it matters:

“You can’t cut rates here. Inflation is still way too high. It will destroy the market system as you know it.” — Todd Horwitz

The free market is being drowned by monetary manipulation. Artificially low interest rates fuel asset bubbles and crush the middle class.

Devalue the Dollar, Destroy the Middle Class

The Fed’s quiet war on the dollar is no accident. It’s a policy.

• Officials claim devaluation helps exporters
• But in reality, it transfers wealth from savers to debtors
• Real interest rates for the average American are closer to 9-10%

Why manipulate the dollar when free markets already determine fair value? According to Horwitz, the answer is simple:

“Devaluation of all currencies benefits central banks and governments, not the people.”

When price discovery is suppressed, and fiat is endlessly diluted, the average American loses purchasing power and financial autonomy.

Gold & Silver: The Silent Protest Against Central Banks

At Rick Rule’s Boca Raton conference, the tone was unmistakable: uber-bullish on gold and silver.

• Horwitz sees gold possibly hitting $4,000 by year-end
• Silver could surge past the mid-$40s
• Inflation and distrust in fiat systems are the rocket fuel

Meanwhile, states like Florida, Texas, and Missouri are recognizing gold and silver as legal tender. This isn’t symbolic. It’s a seismic shift.

“Actual value, not Federal Reserve notes.” — Horwitz

This is a clear rejection of centralized monetary control. It’s a reversion to tangible assets that can’t be printed or manipulated.

Why Physical Gold & Silver Still Matter

As the dollar is intentionally weakened, and the Fed becomes a political pawn, physical gold and silver remain the last bastion of wealth preservation.

• Gold vs Dollar: One is timeless, the other is devaluing by design
• Inflation Hedge: Both metals have outperformed most assets this year
• Tangible Assets: You can hold them, store them, and rely on them

Central banks may favor digital currencies, but more Americans are waking up to the true value of hard money.

Conclusion: The Real Crisis Is Manufactured

Whether or not Trump fires Powell is secondary. The real issue is a corrupt system engineered to fail the middle class while rewarding insiders. Artificial rates, unchecked money printing, and manipulated markets are all signs of a system in decline.

If you want out of the chaos, it’s time to stop relying on fiat promises.
