Powell could still head the FOMC, which sets the federal funds rate and elects its own chair. It would be a hilarious rebuke of Trump and whoever he appoints.

I think this, or calmer heads prevailing and Powell retaining soft power/influence are the most likely outcomes. Without being able to dismiss board members at will, Trump won't have the influence he wants over the Fed.
