President Trump has threatened to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not resign by May 15, citing alleged mismanagement of a multi-billion dollar headquarters renovation. Right-leaning outlets like Fox Business and The Daily Caller focus on Trump's accusations of "incompetence" and his push for nominee Kevin Warsh. In contrast, left-leaning sources such as RawStory and MS NOW frame the ultimatum as a personal "vendetta" that faces significant judicial and legislative pushback.
