The Federal Reserve Chair's Hilarious Response To A Reporter's Question Is Going Viral

Posted 2 hours ago

For those who don't know, this is the Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell.

You might recognize him from that viral moment in 2025, when he awkwardly fact-checked Donald Trump on the cost of the Federal Reserve renovation project in front of the press.

During a recent news conference, Powell was asked about his intention to "keep a low profile" as the acting Fed governor, and his response is going viral.

You can watch the full clip here. 

"You mentioned that, staying on as a [Fed] governor, you intend to keep a low profile. I'm just wondering if you could give us a little more detail on what that looks like?" a reporter asked.

*Ducks down*

*Smirks*

As this person said, "How can you dislike this guy."

"I've become a Jerome Powell super fan."

"Fucking legend."

"no professional economist has ever been or will ever be again this funny on purpose."

"can't believe the freaking chairman of the FEDERAL RESERVE just made me like him."

And as this person said, "A sense of humor rare at the Fed."

Wow, a political moment in 2026 that doesn't make me want to cry!
