Powell: "I won't quit"

@taiwan_girl said in Powell: "I won't quit":

Can he fire him? I thought it was not possible.

Under the law it isn’t but he may try to test that in the courts under the ‘unitary executive’ theory.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has no plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, just days after his statement that he would like to terminate the head of the U.S. central bank caused a stock market selloff.

Do we have a "whiplash" emoji? LOL. Was he lying then or is lying now?

[jon-nyc]

Yes.

[jon-nyc]

Seriously he’s lying now. He wants to fire him but he can’t (most likely) and if he did the dollar would go full Weimar.

Worth the watch. Trump gets fact checked in real time….by Powell.

I hope our national nightmare of cost overruns in the federal reserve construction project will be over soon.

Certainly, a top priority for all Americans.

A shame the penny pincher wasn’t in congress a couple weeks ago with his hard hat.

Sometimes Donald doesn't know when to stop pushing.

Who's the heroic figure not wearing the hard hat? They should put that guy in charge!

Actually, scratch that, there's a bunch of other dispensable people in the background without them too.
