Trump vs. the Chairman of the Federal Reserve: The Scene Was Full of Sparks, It Was Just a Step Away from Physical Conflict! On the 24th, Trump made his first visit to the Federal Reserve, making him the first sitting president in nearly two decades to visit the Fed. Due to Trump's months-long attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as an "idiot" on social media and press conferences, the tension between the two was very evident, with visible sparks flying. Powell clearly gave Trump a cold shoulder. Trump told reporters, "The government is monitoring the progress of the $270 million renovation project at the Federal Reserve, which seems to be rising to about $310 million." Immediately after, Powell shook his head and refuted, "I don't know that number, I haven't heard anything about it from anyone at the Fed." Trump then pulled out a document from his jacket pocket and showed it to him. Powell quickly read it and then rudely handed it back to Trump, saying that Trump would "include the third building as well." Trump said, "It's a building under construction." Powell immediately countered, "It's a building constructed five years ago, not new, and you shouldn't include it."
