........if trump were able to orchestrate the firing of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell (legal experts say it can't be done for any reason other than malfeasance) and install a lackey who would do as he or she was told by Don.

Trump suggests he can remove Fed Chair Powell and says he's 'not happy' with him over interest rates

President Donald Trump has attacked Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates. And Trump says he could fire Powell if he wanted to.

The markets are freaked out as it is with Don's ability to unilaterally make tariff decisions. Compound that with indirect control over monetary policy, including interest rates, and we're looking at another stock/bond selloff.

It would be still be better than Kamala Harris riding our multi Trillion overspending like Slim Pickens riding the nuke down to Russia

Doesn't Powell's term end in 2026? With any luck at all, Trump will get someone in someone competent.
