The Beginning of The End of Donald Trump’s Presidency
 The Beginning of The End of Donald Trump’s Presidency The Honorable Jerome Powell: Profile in Courage,
Patriot, American Hero
On January 11, 2026, with America
and the world anxiously watching -- and hoping -- Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Jerome “Jay” Powell fearlessly stood up to the President of the
United States, and his truth put the lie to Donald Trump. On that day, Chairman Powell became
the first elected or appointed public official to stand in the breach in
America’s time of testing and confront the President of the United States,
man to man. The first public figure in over five years who Donald Trump has
been unable to insult, harass, threaten, or persecute into silence, bludgeon
into submission, or politically destroy, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board became the first man to stand up to the wannabe king of the United
States. History will record that Chairman
Powell’s courageous televised statement in defiance of the President of the
United States marked the beginning of the end of Donald Trump’s presidency,
and history will richly reward Jerome Powell with its favor. It could just well be that this
honorable humble public servant single-handedly saved America’s Democracy,
Constitution, and Rule of Law, if only the others of America’s institutions
of government, democracy, and law will finally summon the same courage and
follow Jay Powell’s noble and courageous lead before it’s too late. Jay Powell was always the one man in
the world who could stand up to Donald Trump, and Trump knew it, which is
why, despite his false bravado, he feared the Reserve Board Chairman. Trump
forced the latest confrontation with Jay Powell in one last desperate attempt
to force Powell from office so that he could finally seize control over the
independent Federal Reserve Bank in the eleventh hour and manipulate the
interest rates to disguise the crippling economic impact of his sweeping,
unconstitutional global tariffs and his unconstitutional war in Iran. It turned out to be the worst
miscalculation of his life. Donald Trump considered his
years-long effort to fire Powell or force his resignation and to gain control
over the independent Federal Reserve Bank to be the decisive showdown of his
presidency. His face-off with the Federal Reserve was always to be Donald
Trump’s Armageddon in which he victoriously vanquished his archnemesis Jay
Powell and took the victor’s spoil of control over the Federal Reserve
Bank. When, not if, he succeeded, his conquest was to be the crowning
achievement of his presidency -- the conquest that assured the success of his
entire presidency, because he would control the monetary policy of the United
States and, along with it, interest rates, and thereby the economies of the
world, to do with them whatever he pleased. But Donald Trump’s gloriously
imagined victory over Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve Bank was never to be
and, like the Greek tragedy that it was, everyone in the world knew it,
except Donald Trump. When the day of the world
heavy-weight championship finally arrived, the favored heavy-weight Reserve
Board Chairman knocked out the reigning light-weight President of the United
States in the opening round. The President was TKO’d in the championship fight
of his life by the man he had insulted, tormented, and belittled for years. Donald Trump had finally crossed the
wrong man. It was the demure, universally respected Jay Powell who finally
called Trump’s bluff, revealing that the humiliated emperor embarrassingly
has no clothes. Both America and the world had
longed for a David to slay America’s Goliath and save the nation and the
world from the giant’s tyrannical rampage. On January 11, As he spoke
clearly, plainly, and truthfully about his ludicrously corrupt pretextual
prosecution by the bully president, the entire world cheered on their new
David-hero. America and the world at last had
their longed-for hero in the pitched battle for the heart and soul of
America, The Honorable Jerome Powell, the courageous Chairman of the Federal
Reserve Board. History is written by the victor,
Winston Churchill is (mis)reported to have said. On January 11, 2026, Jay
Powell wrote the victor’s history of the 47th President of the United States before the would-be
victor even got the chance. It poetically fell to The Honorable
James Boasberg to mop up after Donald Trump’s humiliating defeat at the hands
of the Fed Chairman. Judge Boasberg’s swift and withering judicial
confirmation of the president’s utter contempt for the Constitution and Rule
of Law officially ratified the beginning of the end of Donald Trump’s
presidency that Jay Powell had wrought. For his distinguished service to the
country and to the Constitution, The Honorable James Boasberg is America’s
other Profile in Courage and Hero in the battle for America and its future. For their honorable and courageous
stands against the President of the United States, Chairman Powell and Judge
Boasberg may have earned Donald Trump’s eternal enmity, but they have earned
the nation’s and the world’s eternal gratitude. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Donald Trump built his entire
presidency on a political pyramid scheme of unconstitutional and otherwise
illegal executive orders, acts, actions, edicts, commands, and Truth Social
posts. Donald Trump’s unconstitutional
tariffs and his unconstitutional deportations are the signature initiatives
of his presidency, and he had to overpower the Federal Reserve Bank and the
Federal Courts in the District of Columbia for these initiatives to succeed.
As a result, his presidency was doomed from Day 1, unless he could attack,
defy, and successfully delegitimize the Federal Courts in the eyes of the
American People, and attack, fire, or force the resignation of Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Jay Powell and take control over the Federal Reserve
Bank. Trump needed the Federal Courts —
especially the Supreme Court — at least to allow his unconstitutional pyramid
scheme to work long enough that he could gain control over the independent
Federal Reserve Bank, control the monetary policy of the United States, and
manipulate interest rates to his liking. In particular, he needed to be able
to manipulate interest rates for the duration of his unconstitutional and
crippling global tariffs because of what were always going to be the
inevitable rise in costs, prices, and inflation. And this was before his
unconstitutional war in the Middle East had even come into his imagination. It is for these reasons that Donald
Trump declared war on the Federal Reserve Bank and its Chairman Jay Powell
and on the Federal Judiciary on his first day back in the Oval Office and has
prosecuted those twin wars with an especial vengeance from that day to this
day. Chairman Powell and Judge Boasberg
became the effigial symbols for Donald Trump’s twin wars on the Federal
Reserve and the Federal Judiciary. For the reasons of official position and
jurisdictional location (in the case of the Federal Courts), Chairman Powell
and Judge Boasberg were destined to be Trump’s prime targets in his wars on
the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Courts. Trump first called for Chairman
Powell’s resignation barely two months after returning to The White House and
he has savagely attacked the Chairman every day since, in an increasingly
desperate effort to drive him from office. Judge Boasberg was the first
federal judge to stand up to Donald Trump and prevent Trump’s unlawful
deportations to Venezuela’s squalid CECOT prison, eventually threatening to
hold the Administration’s officials in contempt for defying his orders. For
that faithful application of the Constitution to the outraged President of
the United States, Trump immediately called for Judge Boasberg’s impeachment
and has continued to call for his impeachment to this day. To America’s shock and the world’s
dismay, Trump had largely succeeded up until January 11, 2026. Both
coordinate and equal branches of the United States Government had not only
bowed to Donald Trump, but had fully enabled him, without even a thought of constitutional
check or balance. There was neither a branch nor organ of the United States
Government that had dared try to stop him or, for that matter, even slow him
down. The Congress of the United States was fully supplicant to Trump, and he
had defied and stonewalled the Supreme Court and the lower Federal Courts at
will. In return, the Supreme Court had favored Trump beyond his wildest
dreams by allowing essentially every one of his unconstitutional or otherwise
illegal actions to proceed, staying two dozen decisions from the lower
federal courts adverse to the president, without so much as briefing and
argument, let alone reasoned opinions of law. Trump had also
unconstitutionally usurped the powers of the several states, without either
constitutional warrant or justification. In a word, Donald Trump had by brute
force collapsed both the horizontal and the vertical separation of
governmental powers guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. The final obstacle to Donald Trump’s
monarchical rule over America was the independent Federal Reserve Bank of the
United States and its American Patriot Chairman, Jerome Powell. It was that final obstacle to
tyranny that proved insurmountable for America’s wannabe king. |
