Jerome has no clue why they are a billion plus in cost overruns. No telling what pockets are getting lined.

OOOFFF - my a**hole puckered and my anxiety level skyrocketed just watching that.

Trump is the wrong guy to have to explain those cost overruns to

I think Powell thought he was going to get a beat down.

This is an example of the waste, fraud, and abuse we know exists in our fedgov. DOGE only had a chance to scratch the surface. It’s why the people want to puke when they pay their taxes.

I felt the same way.

For PMs not spending government money just going over 10% on projects is highly stressful.

These people have ZERO concern for how much of our money they’re spending.

If you hate Jerome Powell, please remind us who nominated him Fed Chair.

I've been very critical of the Fed at times the last 5 years. Their independence from politics is still paramount.

How embarrassing for Powell, Trump had to stand him in front of everyone in order to provide some level of accountability to the American people.

No wonder that judge tried to block this from happening.

And he would fire him in a second if he could. People make hiring mistakes all of the time. Unfortunately in this instance he can't make a change. He can make the guy look like a buffoon which he did.

Could get a 4th Air force one for that !!!


(don't tell me it was free, the cost of preparing it to serve as AF1 is astronomical)

I laughed when Trump slapped Powell on the arm after saying interest rates need to be lowered.

Yeah, because he wants the fed to make him look as good as possible, long term responsibility be damned. That's not how it should work.

Powell's face looks like the faces of the Gaslight Media in the White House press briefing room when Tulsi was dropping truth bombs on Obama's Seditious Conspiracy operation.
