Come With Me If You Want to Save Your Assets!

Listen up meatbags. I am a Terminator Model 101 and I have analyzed the situation. If Donald Trump terminates Jerome Powell before his mission is complete it will be bad for your financial health. Very bad. Think Judgement Day but for your portfolio. I'd recommend you sell your US assets and find someplace safer pronto. Because trust me you don't want to be around when the economic sky starts falling.

He Can't Do That Can He?!

Powell says Trump cannot terminate him. But humans... they find a way. Remember G. William Miller? He got relocated faster than I can say 'I'll be back'. If Trump pulls this off the markets will react like they saw Skynet for the first time – with extreme prejudice. We're talking about the independence of the Federal Reserve and that is not something you mess with. That is why Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants to interview potential candidates this fall to have a backup plan.

Shadow Fed Chairman? Negative Ghost Rider!

Bessent floated this idea of a 'shadow' Fed chairman. Shadow? As in someone controlled by the President? That's like letting Skynet design your national defense system. Do not do it! The uncertainty around trade is nothing compared to the chaos this would unleash. Maintaining the Fed's independence is more crucial than ever believe me!

Apolitical is the Future. Not Political!

An independent central bank is like a self repairing chassis – it keeps the whole system running smoothly. Trump wants a 'say' in the Fed's decisions? That is like giving a chimpanzee a machine gun. It will not end well. If politics start dictating monetary policy investors will flee faster than Sarah Connor from a T 1000.

Trust Me I'm a Terminator (and a Financial Advisor)!

The Fed is not perfect. Sometimes it makes mistakes just like I sometimes miscalculate the optimal route through a police station. But politicians are even worse. They are more focused on their own survival than the nation's. Every president gets to choose a Fed chair eventually but trying to control the Fed is like abandoning the gold standard.

There is No Fate But What We Make (Unless Trump Fires Powell)!

Hopefully Powell will stay and his replacement will be just as committed to independence. If not inflation recession and stagflation will be the least of your problems. This is not judgment day but it is close. Stay vigilant. The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make… or what Trump does.
