It's both. Powell's term as chair is up soon. Trump will replace him, with Powell presumably remaining as a governor. But he wants to humiliate Powell for defying him & gain total control of the Fed. Trump is power-hungry so he can exact retribution & he pursues revenge to show how powerful he is.
The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.
