Trump Lays Into Jerome Powell: ‘Too Stupid’ to Chair Fed

President Donald Trump on Thursday once again slammed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of costing the United States “trillions of dollars” and calling him “too stupid” to hold his job after the Fed voted to keep interest rates steady.

“Jerome “Too Late” Powell has done it again!!!” the president posted on Truth Social. “He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair. He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in addition to one of the most incompetent, or corrupt, renovations of a building(s) in the history of construction! Put another way,“Too Late” is a TOTAL LOSER, and our Country is paying the price!”

Trump’s comments come one day after the Fed, despite ever-growing pressure from the president, voted to hold the key interest rate steady.
