Delusional, senile old fool plain forgot he appointed Fed Chair Jerome Powell to the Reserve Board

[bigtree]

Trump admitted Wednesday during an Oval Office press event that he was “surprised” that Jerome Powell was appointed Fed Chair, apparently forgetting that he was the individual who appointed the “terrible” appointee.

“He’s a terrible Fed chair,” he said. “I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him, but they did.”

Trump appointed Powell to lead the central bank in November 2017, selecting him to succeed Janet Yellen despite Powell being a sitting member of the Fed’s Board of Governors. At the time, Trump praised Powell as a consensus builder with a “strong, steady, and wise” approach to economic stewardship. However, their relationship quickly soured as the Fed raised interest rates in 2018 and 2019.
