Already looking for people to blame. It all went south because 'he' didn't do this or 'she' didn't do that. He's setting up scapegoats. https://youtu.be/izljanGbnDA
Trump wrecked the economy and expects someone else to clean it up.
Congress can fix it but Republicans have literally abandoned Americans.
Call (202) 224-3121
and let your Representatives know how you feel.
That’s what he has in common with his brainwashed followers, they scapegoat and blame poc or women instead of taking responsibility for their for themselves.
Yeah he doesn't appear to be enjoying life. He seems to hate that he's old, sick, ugly, probably impotent, and will die soon. And hates the world and USA for it, because he's a narcissist.
Doesn't the orange mussolini get the irony that it is he and his regime are the ones playing politics?? Unfortunately for the American people, their end game is to destroy the American democracy with his dictatorship!!
We didn't have fears resulting from the imposition of tariffs under any president in the past century. Trump's tariffs will impact every American planning to purchase groceries, gasoline and the whole gamut of other needs. Trump has failed to make the case that tariffs are actually necesary.
Because if they defy him in any way he'll immediately turn on them and get rid of them. They're all spineless sycophants so of course they aren't going to go against him.
How do long time republican politicians not band together and stop this! If a democrat was doing this shit they’d be screaming from the rooftops! The coming payday must be unbelievable! Fuck their constituents right!
#47 is soon going to turn on the choice of the Fed Chair that #45 made 6 years ago.
He hates every person nominated or policy created by previous administrations.
It will be a a fight of words the likes of which no mirror has seen in decades
Trump's setting up Powell as the scapegoat—classic move. First, it was Biden's fault, then our allies are the blame. Now, Powell's in the crosshairs. Sad truth? Plenty of #MAGA Bubba followers will buy it. Same playbook, different day.
he can't lower them attm, unless he wants to risk official stagflation. he may need to cut eventually. but right now isn't the time. even the Boston Fed apparently hinted that.
Newsflash portapotty, some of us have paid way more than what rates are now. If you put the economy back where it was, Chairman Powell would lower rates.
Now would be a great time for Trump to stop his tarrif, fire musk, bring all the people back from the El Salvador concentration camp, stop targeting diversity as a negative, stop trying to erase transgender, and take a trip in a minisub with JD and Elon.
Hard to tell if now he’s being told that the economy is great by his millionaire minions or demented or if he’s just being narcissistic. All of though is total BS. USA is a worldwide disgrace. USA reputation is ruined. This country voted him in. That what they all see. They think we all did this.
I haven't seen the price of anything go down, as a matter of fact I'm paying a full dollar per gallon more for gas than I was when this wannabe dick taster took office. I don't think Jerome needs business or financial tips from a person who can't even run a casino.
Trump is a fucking clown . I’m sure we all want better interest rates but I would rather have Jerome Powell hold his integrity , unlike the senate or the rest of these Trump ball lickers.
It's all the conditions necessary for them to rob every single dime from the treasury. The middle class will be decimated as the vultures buy up the destroyed lives of working families.
Quick reminder on how we got to the high inflation of '21-'22:
2017 tax cut > 2018 trade war > 2019 pressure on Fed to keep rates artificially low > Covid spending > Ukraine war.
I guess he found a formula he likes and he's sticking to it. Just speed running this time.
🇨🇦🇨🇦😂Typical of Ding-Dong Donald Trump—
Pick a “Fall guy”, Jerome Powell to take the blame for Trump’s own stupidity.
I’m sorry America, but don’t u think Trump is doing all this to please Putin bc Putin really DOES have embarrassing “things” on him?
He’d rather FAIL than face global humiliation…
🇨🇦🇺🇦Every action is a reaction to something else.
Every action has a MOTIVE!
Donald Trump has no choice but to fulfill Putin’s dreams of “destroying the West” or Trump will face self-destruction…
Am I alone in thinking this?
The cost of eggs is down? Really? My sister went grocery shopping today at Walmart & didn't buy eggs because they were $9/dz. A week & a half ago they were $6/dz. Fotus is so out of touch with reality, & he doesn't give a 💩 about us. He's 🤪, imo.
This MF is trolling us. Only MAGA would believe that 💩. You can't piss on us and tell us raining. I work in the financial industry and the rates are not low.
Cutting rates at this point would be a disaster upon a disaster: Trump has cooked up a recipe for massive inflation. Interest rates going lower would only compound the problem.
Advice to Mr. Powell: Taking advice from Donald Trump, the crazy motherfucker who in one day plunged our economy into a possible recession or worse is probably not such a good idea!
Really? Because where I live in rural Kentucky, the 60 count of the cheapest eggs are now $25… I used to be able to buy that same amount for MAYBE $7-8. But we already knew he was lying and that he’s trying to rob us blind and leave us all for dead, we’re the parasite class according to them.
Please take action @5calls.org @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @generalstrikeus.bsky.social
Tax breaks and tariffs they want to bankrupt the working and middle class the extort our work and assets. Economic terrorism. Their greed will not end. Hands off protest April 5th.
This is why Canada is lucky to have a Prime Minister who is the former (Fed) Governor of the Bank of Canada AND Bank of England who kept 🇨🇦 from going into Recession in 2008 & kept the £ from failing during Brexit
Canadian voters need to learn from our American friends & show up on Apr 28th to VOTE
Hey, Trump. The markets are down, too. Not going to hurt you or your billionaire buddies, but regular Americans are now reeling from a double blow — tanked 401ks and higher prices on most products. Oh, and the regular Americans who were fired from their shiny new jobs, are in dire straits.
Is this from his last administration because it certainly doesn’t reflect any factual information from right now.
This guy is clearly out of touch with reality. I wish that Congress and Senate would react accordingly.
Powell should respond with that assertion: "The Fed is not here to make the President look good, especially in the face of random economic destruction by the admin. The Fed is here to shepherd the American economy to the best outcome for all Americans - irrespectivie of Presidential policy."
Relying on the Fed put was always part of their plan. FOMC probably won't move as fast as they want tho as the fed will wait for the data whereas the admin wants them to cut sooner so they limit the financial damage and political blowback.
What a dipstick. Does he not understand what the Fed is and how it works? Doesn't care no doubt. What real president tweets like this and calls people out to bully them. I very much doubt even his dictator friends do.
I still can't track down the specific planet that he gets his statistical information from. We're getting low on eggs this morning and I'd really like to make a 69% cheaper omelette.
America's going to have to bomb Iran this weekend to distract from all this self-inflicted shit.
Remember to thank your friends and family who are in the military for their service before they take off this weekend to slaughter innocent civilians to make you all feel a little bit better.
Or he created the mess in order to artificially drive the demand for lower interest rates, then lifts (some of) the tariffs if the Fed lowers the lending rate.
Also, if penguins, seals & volcanoes can get slapped with tariffs, why not Krasnov's Mother Russia?
Don’t clean up for him. He has to own this and he has to be humbled. From this point on, it will known as Trump crash, Trump Recession, Trump stagflation.
Trump lives in an alternate reality to the rest of us…. Not even a parallel universe, but a totally alternate reality. Literally nothing in his post is true
Excactly as Truss did with then Gov of Bank of Eng Carney..after her disaster of a buget that cost her job .. please mister Gov keep buying Gilts with the country's reserves to mitigate my screw up. That is not Crentral Bankers role
Oh my God is it opposite day and no one told me. Where can I get eggs 69% less? Is my gas station ripping me off by going up $.10 have we not added the layoffs from whirlpool, Solanas, and all the federal unemployed employees to the unemployment rate 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Where is all this hot air coming from?
Raising interest rates curbs demand which cools inflation by slowing down the economy. I think he was wrong to raise it as high as he did but it worked out. Lowering rates would increase inflation in the midst of an inflationary tariff war
Yeah. Sorry. Let me rephrase. Trump fucked up the covid response and put it off until it was too late. Then when he did he threw every scientist under the bus and blamed them when 500,000 were dead.
so cut interest rates so that instead, that revenue goes from the banks to Trump's pocket in the form of his little electioneering slush fund. Literally, the dude set up a system similar to Orban. Sovereign wealth fund my ass, fuck your corrupt cash grab.

Bumping interest rates because the Führer of Fourth Reich says so would be political.
Blah blah blah...
Does America ever tire if this idiocy and the endless grievances uttered ad nauseum from the richest country on Earth?
Cos the rest of the world is bored shitless with this tedious and infantile BS.
Well, if interest rates are down, then Powell doesn't need to do anything, does he?
He hates every person nominated or policy created by previous administrations.

Powell will not cave.

I bet trump would likely blame Powell.
2017 tax cut > 2018 trade war > 2019 pressure on Fed to keep rates artificially low > Covid spending > Ukraine war.

Not this time, moron. As he likes to say, "I alone can fix it." Never true until now.
He could stop these tariffs. ** Congress could stop these tariffs.**
Blame anybody else.

He just displayed reason #1
He's a loud mouthed fucking moron
Reason #2 - We need real minds to understand the economy. Powell has a real mind. Trump just thinks he has a brain in that cavern between his ears.
