Per Bloomberg and the Times.

This is “technically” illegal, but because of the Blackstonian Wisdom of Chief Justice Balls & Strikes that word is, as Ron Ziegler would have said, “inoperative.”

OTOH since this would cost some important people a lot of money, he may TACO it, but his statements about everything are getting increasingly unhinged, so tune in for the next episode of American Exceptionalism: Hold My Beer.

. . . Every Tuesday is TACO Tuesday en El Pinche Gabacho!

President Donald Trump is denying multiple reports that he intends to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, even as he continues to criticize him and express frustration over the Fed’s refusal to cut interest rates to the levels he has demanded. The Federal Reserve is an independent central bank, and the President has no legal authority to dictate its actions. On Wednesday, Trump criticized Powell, appeared to forget that he appointed him, and blamed President Joe Biden for his nomination. . . .

Minutes ago, in the Oval Office, Trump appeared to forget he had been the first to nominate Powell as Fed chair. He told reporters that Powell is a “terrible Fed chair,” and he was surprised he had even been appointed. Trump added, “I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him.”

There’s no “appeared” about this of course. Unless you believe this is all Googleplex Level Chess, cunningly designed to distract from the Epstein stuff from earlier this morning.

There is no cunning strategy or master plan.

There’s a sub-literate lazy ignorant moron who has never been held responsible for his lazy ignorant bottomless stupidity during his 79 utterly wasted years on this planet.
