Powell has faced numerous personal attacks from Trump, who criticizes his reluctance to cut interest rates. During a recent joint tour of the Federal Reserve's renovation, Trump brought up the project's cost, a potential pretext for Powell's replacement. Throughout this turbulence, Powell has maintained a calm demeanor, demonstrating the importance of steady leadership. Observers note that his ability to remain composed can serve as a model for business leaders navigating challenging situations and political pressures.
"He doesn't get ruffled easily," Alan Blinder, a professor of economics at Princeton who served as vice chairman of the Fed's Board of Governors in the mid-1990s, said of Powell.
"Stoicism is an appropriate reaction to what he's going through," Kohn said, referring to Trump's criticisms. Amid those, Powell remains composed and focused.
