THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[UnionStrong]

Trump is not treated the same as Biden and Obama by Powell

Plus the board is made up of Biden appointees

 

[UnionStrong]

He's gonna let him ride it out. He's got like 8 months.

Anybody can act neutral till they get appointed.

Uh-oh.
Maybe the rates will succumb naturally and will force his hand. If it doesn't, Trump needs to fire him.

In fairness it was Trump who made Powell chairman of the Fed. But Trump got a lot of bad advice on appointees in his first term.

Obama nominated Powell for the Fed Board and Trump did later pick him as Chaiman. He was replacing Janet Yellen who was an even bigger disaster. Later renominated by Biden.

And Powell is a Republican so one can argue it really is a uniparty in Washington.

Powell, a Republican, was originally appointed to the Fed's governing board by former President Barack Obama and was elevated to the chairman's post by then-President Donald Trump.

Wrong again, fish head

No one is contesting that.

He was reappointed by Biden.
Which is what you were contesting from Van.

You are wrong.

Geez, why are you making this so hard? Trump nominated him, he served his 5 year term, and Biden renominated him. And it's nominated because he had to be confirmed by the Senate.
