    Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump as Director of the FBI and now Trump never misses an opportunity to bash Wray. In his first term Trump negotiated the USMCA which he praised as one of the greatest trade deals in history. Less than a month into his second term Trump tore it up.

    The first Trump administration was a hoax created by Biden, Obama and Comey

    He probably couldn't if he wanted to, and I'm not sure why he would want the fight.

    Powell's term is up next May, so Trump can appoint his preferred sycophant next year in time to crater rates, weaken the dollar, and boost the economy before the mid terms.

    More like he is banking on the general public having the attention span of a gnat

    I was going to post just that. He has onset dementia, I just watched my highly intelligent mother go down this road.

    He started to lower interest rates last year, near the end. Not as fast or as much as we had hoped for, but we didn't accuse him of playing politics for the man that appointed him. If Kamala had been elected, we would have seen more cuts. trump has provided an uncertain market, so he understandably has been cautious.
