President Trump wants the Fed to do what he thinks is best, and he's made clear he is willing to pull out all the stops to try to get his way with the Fed.
Trump's idea that he could remove Powell for policy disagreements and create the precedents for that have not worked.

It could be used against anyone.
So it's very intimidating and really would have a very adverse effect.

I personally never experienced this and no Fed chair that I've ever interacted with has experienced it.
