🚨Trump SPIRALS and TAKES CRIMINAL ACTION on FED CHAIR!! - Meidas Touch



Michael Popok reports on Donald Trump’s escalating authoritarian retaliation against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, as Trump has his DOJ launch a criminal investigation against the Fed Chair simply because Powell refused to slash interest rates on his command.

Michael Popok explains how this stunning abuse of power threatens the independence of the Federal Reserve, undermines global confidence in U.S. financial stability, puts the entire American economy at risk, and pushes the U.S. further into autocracy. - 01/11/2026.

He is my hero of the day, maybe the whole week. I hope his decision will encourage others involved with "team-tRump" to speak the truth and to do so in a very clear and definite voice of experience. More power to you, Powell!
