PROOF IN THE PUDDING: THE BURRO'S REAL GRADES AT FORDHAM; AND HE'S LECTURING THE CHAIR OF THE FED?

WASHINGTON, June 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday knocked Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for what he expected would be a decision not to lower interest rates and said the man he put in the role during his last term had done a poor job.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, mused about appointing himself to lead the U.S. central bank, based on his dissatisfaction with Powell.
"Maybe I should go to the Fed," Trump said. "Am I allowed to appoint myself at the Fed? I'd do a much better job than these people."

Trump has long criticized Powell and sparked market concern earlier this year when he suggested the central bank chief's termination couldn't come fast enough. Trump has since walked back from that rhetoric, saying he would not fire Powell before his term as chair ends next year, but he has not held back on his broader criticism and has made clear that he will not ask Powell to stay on as the central bank's leader.

"What I'm going to do is, you know, he gets out in about nine months, he has to, he gets fortunately terminated ... I would have never reappointed him, (President Joe) Biden reappointed him. I don't know why that is, but I guess maybe he was a Democrat... he's done a poor job," Trump said.

(Apart from having failing grades, Trump also has a short memory because it was he who appointed Powell to the Fed in 2017. Biden kept him. Photo at right.)

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged Wednesday as its policymakers weigh signs of a cooling economy, the risk of higher inflation from U.S. import tariffs, and the escalating crisis in the Middle East.

Trump expressed disappointment in advance of the decision and underscored his belief that the Fed had been too late at cutting rates.

"I call him 'too late Powell' because he's always too late. I mean, if you look at him, every time I did this I was right 100 percent, he was wrong," Trump said.

It is his same ego trip nonsense. A great leader makes sure that the people around him/her are smart and qualified so he/her just over sees their work. Realistically one person can not do everything. TACO LOCO

In fairness, now publish Barack Obama's grades. You can't because his records were sealed. You have to wonder why. Have you seen how Obama writes? There's your real fraud.

Grades can tell u two things 1. Intelligence. 2. Work ethic..President Trump is no dumb ass. He is just lazy. His lack of knowledge has nothing to do with how smart he is. He is actually one of the smartest people on earth . He has con 20 % of Americans . 19% of Americans who represent the D student at best. He is only person alive that is protected with 19 felonies.Only person who can say "you can grap them by their pu sies" on tape and get away with it. Has immense wealth even with all his personal business failures.
No, President Trump is a very smart person . Now the 90 % of the 77 million of Americans that voted for him, that's a very different story .They are the DUMB ASSES . Most don't even have grades. They prove it everyday. Listen to them on this blog. They do not understand what is happening around them and being taken away. They are so easy manipulated and cant think for themselves.
DEMOCRACY they have no clue.

(Taps on shoulder) and excuse me.
Donald Trump received approximately 77.3 million votes in the 2024 presidential election. This total ranks among the largest vote totals ever for a presidential candidate.

So you’re mad at the working class. You controlled all media, NGO’S, God knows the rgv, etc etc…all hands trying to control the narrative. Sir/maam you’re so full of shit. Now all the grassroots activists have been grinding and grinding and messaging.
Sounds like people are finally saying get the fuck out of the way. Manage your home, family and businesses. We are happy you’re making it. I don’t idolize you we are happy for you. But don’t throw me that bullshit. Middle class and happy πŸ˜ƒ

7:51 Oh my, what a philanthropist. He made 20 billion off the meme bitcoin.
He's accepted $ from foreign governments. Which is a violation of the
Emoluments Clauses in the Constitution. Accepting a plane from Qatar is
another violation. He forfeits his salary and buys two flagpoles and you're in
awe? Bill Gates gives away half of his billions every few years to worthy causes. Trump cares only about himself.

He is not lazy. He is not smart. He just had a dad with money. He learned from his dad to use his money and power to get what he wants. Trump has not accomplished much in his personal life nor in his political or business life.

Trump and his family make millions every day thanks to the presidency. He and his sons and his wife are making good deals. His friends are also making good money. The rest is just malarkey.

Maybe the Left ought to try and work with our President instead of critiquing about how he is bringing this country back to what it was before the democrat left ruined it? I understand that the democrats love chaos and don't care about the American people, which has been proven time and time again! The problem is the Left followers who don't know how to use their brain or common sense to know that democrats want to be the kings and keep us Americans under the thumb. Example: look at Newsome in California, he wants destruction and wants his citizens to leave his State whether their Left or Right! Newsom is like pelosi, just wants his pockets filled! Wake up you stupid people on the Left!

He got help from Musk. Musk gave money if you voted for Trump. The Republicans also moved to states where they needed more votes to win. Plus the Republicans always win and have been in power longer than the Democrats. Nothing new, just the voters change with new generations of voters.

Like I said , definitely the 90 %

No, Republicans always win and are always in charge. The USA has always been Republican. All rich. The militia, the anti government groups, the crazies are all Republicans.
