@cbsnews: President Trump said "we're not planning on doing anything" when asked whether he's considering firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump appointed in 2018 and has clashed with over lowering interest rates. Trump made the comments while meeting with Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa amid reports Trump was looking to remove Powell from his post. Trump on Tuesday asked a group of House Republicans if he should fire Powell — and people in the room voiced approval. Several sources told CBS News that Trump indicated he will do it. Trump on Wednesday confirmed he held the conversation with lawmakers about ousting Powell. The idea of a president removing a Fed chair is legally untested — federal law says the chair can only be fired "for cause." The action could have serious negative effects on financial markets. #trump #fed

I’m wondering if he’s living in the moment or it’s someone keeping him isolated from reality.

Its me Hi :
Totalitarianism is a political system and a form of government that prohibits opposition from political parties, disregards and outlaws the political claims of individual and group opposition to the state, and completely controls the public sphere and the private sphere of society.

Well i think the bigger issue is they are self funded by interest on securities. Have been running at a deficit since fiscal year 2020. If they were to reduce the interest rates that would also reduce their cash flow. How is that not a conflict….

Remember the media can’t ask questions but only what they want him to ask. If any of the media goes against him or questions him something he don’t an answer too he just mumbles through and won’t let those reporters back in.
