UNPRECEDENTED STANDOFF:
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DONALD TRUMP VS. FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN, JEROME POWELL
Most presidents have stayed clear of the independent Federal Reserve System of banks, but not Donald.
He started a Twitter war, named the FED the 'greatest threat to the economy' and has toyed with the idea of firing the chairman.
One of the Federal Reserve's most treasured privileges is its independence.
President Trump is challenging this, big-time.
This is a battle of the minds in the grand chess match of creating a patsy for the fall of the economy.
