Trump's "Too Late" Powell Posts

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.

Can you spot the fakes?

Some of his real tweets sound made up. Some made-up ones sound real. Guess which is which.
