Discussion: Trump Has Been Brainstorming Ways To Remove Powell From The Fed

Glenn Beck has some interesting theories regarding the gold standard. I hear he’s on the Trump train now. Give him a ring, he’s got plenty of time.

Gotta say, that giant closing quote is typographically incorrect. I am sure CNN"s graphics department will do a better job (no doubt they’ve been working on it).

You asked.

They uncritically are going with the Pentagon’s version.

While ordinarily servile in the extreme, Yertle the Turtle and his GOP Senate confederates know they need to protect the economy for their rich donors coming up to the 2020. Trump firing Powell is something they will stridently oppose (mostly behind the scenes).

Why does any legitimate journalist take anything said by the Trump regime at face value? This is journalistic malpractice.

I bought a gold ETP a while back. I sold just before the big rise in gold today. Gold hit a six year high today on anticipated lower interest rates. It was a leveraged ETP by a factor of three. It’s up twelve percent today. Sure, I made some money, but I missed the big feast.
Yeah, I’d bitch if I was hung with a new rope also.
I sold early because it will have a reverse split of 1-5 in about a week. I really hate reverse splits.

Well it may or may not be true. Either side could be lying in part or in whole. The evidence will slowly filter in. Fox, CNN and we should wait until then.

this country will take decades to dig itself out of the financial hole this dumbfuck is putting us into… if ever before the whole thing collapses.

Of course you’re right. An independent and reliable 3rd party has to verify any Trump regime claim. Otherwise it’s wise to assume it’s a lie.

I don’t know who George is, but if he’s fed up with the cowards who pass for leadership in this party, I’m with him.

Well, regardless of whether we crossed the magic 12-mile line from their coast, shooting down one of our military assets is an act of war, and they certainly acknowledge they did so.

Whether we poked them is really academic, they could have ignored it, or documented it with evidence of its presence and location and wandered off to the UN or CNN to make the case that the U.S. was provoking them.

Trump is such an idiot. Janet Yellen’s approach was much more in line with Trump’s concern about raising rates too quickly, but he just had to get rid of her because she was appointed by Obama.

Can get rid of this f—ing guy already? He is destroying this country.

Stop making fun of her name!

Powell largely agreed with Yellen on policy – and differed only slightly on regulations – and is resisting Trump’s pressure to cut the Fed interest rate.

His comment about maintaining Fed independence is spot-on.

trump needs to make his friends aware of his intentions so that when he does remove Powell, they can continue to reap the benefits of the price fixing trump is doing to the market. For the insiders, they are making millions on the tweeters tweets about trade deals, tariffs and the like. The market is rigged, simple as that.
