Trump’s Fed Coup Is the Dollar’s Destiny

He’s not waiting for 2026.

June 26, 2025

There’s no press conference.

No firing. No law broken.

Just a name.

And a message: the Fed is no longer untouchable.

Markets took notice.

The dollar just had its worst first half since 1986. Gold is climbing. Yields are sliding.

Why?

Because this isn’t about policy.

It’s about power.

The Illusion of Independence

This week, Trump let it slip.

He’s not waiting for 2026 to replace Jerome Powell.

He’s planning to announce a successor this fall—before the election.

Before Powell’s term ends.

Before markets even have time to price it in.

And while he can’t legally remove Powell early...

He doesn’t need to.

Because the moment a replacement is named, the Fed loses more than a Chair.

It loses credibility.

And with it—the dollar.

Three Acts of Collapse

Act I: The Shadow Chair

Powell stays in his seat. But behind him looms the next guy. Markets know it. The Fed knows it. And suddenly, every rate decision becomes political.

Act II: Confidence Lost

The dollar isn’t held up by tanks or tariffs—it’s held up by trust. Undermine the Fed, and you undermine everything it's supposed to protect.

Act III: The End of Neutral Money

Today it’s a Trump pick. Tomorrow it’s a Biden backstop. Soon, every Fed Chair becomes a campaign tool.

Neutral money dies—and takes your savings with it.

What You Can Do

  • Watch the bond market—not the headlines.

  • Look for moves in gold and BRICS+ signals.

  • Understand: This isn’t about rates. It’s about regime change.

Because you don’t elect the Fed Chair.

But your financial future depends on who does.
