Every "Too Late" post about Fed Chair Jerome Powell in our Truth Social archive, in date order, with notes.
Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell to run the Federal Reserve in 2017, then spent much of 2025 demanding that he cut interest rates faster. Along the way he gave Powell a new nickname, "Too Late," and used it again and again, often right after a new economic number came out. Below is every post in our archive of his Truth Social account that uses the nickname, oldest first, each linked to the original.

THE CONSENSUS OF ALMOST EVERYBODY IS THAT, “THE FED SHOULD CUT RATES SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER.” Too Late Powell, a man legendary for being Too Late, will probably blow it again - But who knows???

“Too Late” at the Fed is a disaster! Europe has had 10 rate cuts, we have had none. Despite him, our Country is doing great. Go for a full point, Rocket Fuel!

“Too Late” DEMEANS THE GREAT CREDIT OF THE USA. We are now, again, the Number One Credit in the World! “Gigantic Comeback.” The Fed Rate should be reflective of this. We should be at the top of the list!!! LOWER THE RATE!!!

Jerome “Too Late” Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW. IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!

“Too Late” Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler, a Biden Appointee, resigned. She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!

Could somebody please inform Jerome “Too Late” Powell that he is hurting the Housing Industry, very badly? People can’t get a Mortgage because of him. There is no Inflation, and every sign is pointing to a major Rate Cut. “Too Late” is a disaster!
