With the stock markets crashing on Monday, Trump reversed course and claimed he never would've fired Jerome Powell from the Fed after days of berating and blaming him for the markets collapse.
Wall Street has been plummeting since Trump rolled out his lamebrain tariff ideas. but he wasn't finished throwing them further into chaos after his idiotic move of attacking the Fed chair.
On Tuesday, Trump began singing a different song.
REPORTER: You have no intention of firing Jerome Powell because, here, I think on the brink of passing, a few days ago it was said that you and people in the White House were studying this idea possibly before his term ends. Do you have any plans on doing that?
TRUMP: None whatsoever.
Never did.
The press runs away with things.
No, I have no intention of firing him.
I would like to see him be a little more active in terms of his idea to lower interest rates. This is a perfect time to lower interest rates.
If he doesn't, is it the end? No, it's not.
But it would be good timing. It could have taken place earlier.
But no, I have no intention to fire him.
Hahahaha.
Trump tried to bully a rate cut, hoping it would ease the markets from declining from his addled brain. He always berates people in hopes they will wilt in the face of his commands, but Powell refused, making Trump crawl.
