Powell defies Trump

[Jroc]

That’s because the government and the Chief Executive were stable.

Which is not the case now.

Reckless tariff threats and abrupt retreats, threats against companies, wildly inconsistent economic policy have all created a cloud of uncertainty across the industrial and financial world.

indeed, the expectation of tarriff induced inflation and disruptions to the flow of goods and services occasioned by Trump’s anarchic economic policies are expected to drive an oncoming recession.

Expected by who you? and all your Trump hating friends....lol... Biden was stable? he started two wars he let possibly 20 million illegals walk up in there and gave them government benefits Joe Biden wasn't even running anything his staff his wife and Hunter Biden was running the country ...fool stable for an old folks home

 

[Jroc]

True, experienced, smart people are not encouraged to apply.

Yes, now he confines himself to stooges, bag men and yes men. Crackpots are welcome as long as they don’t try and share the lowbrow right wing stage with the king.

Gibberish. Trump haters aren't too bright... They even think a man could be a woman and vice versa...morons

 

[rightwinger]

Advice from other deep staters... When you come in cold not being a politician not knowing these people these things happen it's like he appointed John Bolton that f****** another clown now he knows better

Trump went to Wharton
Only smart people go to Wharton.

Didn’t Trump discuss economic philosophy before he picked Powell to lead the Fed?

Trump wanted negative rates. Powell (rightfully) laughed that off.

 

[Lisa558]

Powell has no obligation to obey Trump.

But he has an obligation to do what is best for Americans. Instead, because he wants to show Trump who’s boss, people are paying more than necessary for credit cards, car loans, home equity loans, and adjustable rate mortgages.

They also were willing to vote for a man in Stage 5 dementia or an unqualified DEI pick than the best president we’ve had in my life.

He'll be gone soon frightwinger relax ,don't get your little panties in a bunch

I hope he didnt simply do it to smack down Trump. Rates shouldn't be dropping.

They dropped for Joe. The Federal Reserve is deep state. Deep globalist state. The old rules are gone with deficits and wringing out bad ones. We have to go through a linger process that will take many years to strengthen our self-reliant process. It is difficult to do unless all politicians are in for it.

Actually he is evaluating economic metrics and determine the total economic impact on inflation, GDP, employment
Trump is demanding low rates to compensate for his trade wars

Jan 2021 when Biden took office rates were 0.

Jan 2025 when Biden left, rates were 4.25.

Biden started no wars.

Your 20 million illegals figure is one you made up.

Who expect stability? The business community, the financial community. The real people who actually have to live with the fact that trade policy is being whipsawed by an unstable clown on social media.

Removing facts from context does not result in a strong argument. It's a weak rhetorical trick. Patently dishonest, and over simplistic.

End the Fed

Academic Eunuchs

Don't blame the institution; blame the fried eggheads who are put in charge of it.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Why did Trump appoint a Deep Stater?
Doesn’t he check?

Hoya Ho

By definition, Deep Staters disguise themselves. They go deep undercover and pass on STDs.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Many people warned Trump about Bolton. Trump doesn't take advice.

Let Us Never Negotiate Out of Fear; Let Us Trick the Other Side into Negotiating Out of Fear

Trump used Joltin' John to scare foreign leaders. Then he could play Good Cop. They were so relieved they gave Trump what he wanted.

The institution needs to be eliminated

Hey, about that wonderful Trump Economy?

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/jobs-report-july-2025.html

• Nonfarm payrolls growth totaled 73,000 for July, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meager Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000.
• June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels.
• The weak report, including the dramatic revisions, could provide incentive for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates when it next meets in September.
• Health care and social assistance combined for some 94% of the job growth.

Hey, J'Roids, tell us again about that wonderful Trump economy.
