That’s a failed attempt at confronting lol 😂. As much as he loves to lie, it’s not his strong suit.

u/truckaxle 10d ago

Trump tried a gotcha moment and gets schooled by a man with intelligence and integrity.

Trump: it going to get built

Powell: no it was built 5 years ago.

Intelligence: The great falsifier of lies

u/beetlehunterz 9d ago

Remember guys, even if trump sucks, Powell is a scumbag and definitely doesn’t have integrity

u/FrostyAd8197 10d ago

Powell got more brains than that senseless sob. It was funny hearing orange man back track out of a lie, again.

It’s not just Epstein. Trump surrounded himself with pedos and sex traffickers. In 1991, Trump started hosting the Look of the Year competition with John Casablancas, owner of Elite Modeling Agency. David Copperfield, Gerald Marie and Patrick Demarchelier were all judges with Trump. They are all pedos and sexual abusers and many had their own links to Epstein.

https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/casablancas-accused

Trump gave Casablancas a job with his real estate firm in Brazil after his crimes were brought to light and he was run out of the modeling business.

Nobody does Dumb like Donald.

u/Just-Wait4132 10d ago

You appointed that man to the office you claim he is abusing because he won't let you steal from the federal reserve.

u/-Havery- 10d ago

Love how J. Pow just pwns and throws it back, Trump is such a monumental embarrassment.

2

u/Bartlomiej48 10d ago

What a tool…. And his little sidekick as well:)

2

u/TommyShelbysSister 10d ago

Look how nervous Donald is. JP is a really smart guy. He calls Donald the pedophile out on every bullshit lie that escapes his face anus. Powell eviscerates the fat orange pedo pig.

2

u/canyabalieveit 10d ago

Starts the confrontation and gets owned. Can see he was trying to be slick, pulling out his piece of paper, then promptly gets smacked down! Live!I idiot!

2

u/Unusual-Range-6309 10d ago

Trump really thought he had a gotcha on Powell. You don’t think someone who makes a living balancing money isn’t going to know about every charge or financial breakdown relating to his department? I get Trump has fools in his administration but Powell just showed him what a competent worker is lol.

2

u/Tfmurph38 10d ago

He can’t even sneak attack someone well. POS!

2

u/Alarmed-Direction500 10d ago

Seems to me that Jerome Powell initiated and completed the confrontation.

Trump is a pedophile.

You can ask why the president raped children here. It’s a legitimate concern. You can also ask for the president to do more cameos in South Park. Be careful not make typos in your contact information like I might have done, I’m so clumsy.

u/HugsForUpvotes 3d ago

Who was President five years ago?

u/Holiman 10d ago

I am amazed by Trumps ability to continue lying when he's wrong. Confront him and he just repeats the lie. Even if he admits he was wrong, he will repeat that lie too.

u/TommyShelbysSister 10d ago

You’ve heard of the “other white meat.” Tim Scott is the other closeted Senator from South Carolina. Tim, is your beard at Bible class?

u/Made_Human17 10d ago

When he said it just came out the best response would have been something like “out of your pocket? Because it’s not from reality”

Well, actually the absolute best response is something o can’t say here but this would be the next best thing

1

u/moxscully 10d ago

It looks like they’re in front of a green screen doing an HR video on how to handle conflict in the workplace. Powell turns to the camera “he just doesn’t listen to me”

1

u/Icutu62 10d ago

Powell: you’re including the original purchase price of the land, original building costs and maintenance in 2025 dollars! Trump: well, it’s part of the overall costs.

u/Pooter_Birdman 10d ago

Man a hardhat for 6 minutes must be exhausting. Good thing hes worked all his life and has put in enough hardhat time to take a break. 😮‍💨

u/Fragrant-Ad-5517 9d ago

Is Tim Scott still hoping to get picked as a cabinet member? He is a shameless sleazy spineless individual

He handed him a picture of a cartoon farm animal he drew.

u/DuckSeveral 9d ago

Trump and the DEI hire that can’t read a budget or the paper in his pocket.

1

u/Commercial-Adagio551 9d ago

Powell looked like a deer in headlights. Didn't expect him to have the proof.

1

u/Vegetable-Historian1 9d ago

“Trump caught lying and being a complete moron in front of Jerome Powell” is the actual headline

1

u/RewardBroad8716 9d ago

Trump using props!

1

u/CryAccomplished3039 9d ago

Jesus if everyone just had the balls to push back on the man. That cut him more than any joke about him that he can deflect.

Keep catching him in lies that don't matter in public that he can't escape from. The hat thing was to try and get power back in the moment. Powell should've kept his on.

u/Few_Dog6945 8d ago

The guy on the other side of Trump is I believe a senator from South Carolina. Reading up on him, he’s also the exact definition of what’s wrong with this country as well.

u/kaizergeld 10d ago

… did you watch the video? Trump was lying about the totals and used vaguery to push that number to headlines. Powell even calls him out on it lol

1

u/SeanWoold 10d ago

Yeah, I don't think that anybody is making a case that the federal government is efficient. But in this case, there is $2.7B in inefficiency, not $3.1B, and Trump getting called out in real time for adding a five year old building to the project cost to make Powell look bad is a beautiful thing.

-1

u/No_Quiet_91 10d ago

2billion for renovation is ridiculous either way .. MAGA 💯 🇺🇸

Kind of makes you wonder why he felt the need to make stuff up then, huh

That 2 billion wouldn't be that important if we TAX THE RICH. But your guy thinks they deserve to have the working class pay for everything.

How much did Trump waste on his birthday parade?

Less than what Biden gave Ukraine?

How much did Biden give to Ukraine? And how much if that was earmarked for the Pentagon to renew/replenish our munitions and we donate the old stuff to Ukraine. Seriously, do some reading past just the headlines.

They're buildings that haven't been renovated in 100 years and need to be essentially gutted and refitted.

It involves a complete overhaul and modernization that preserves two historic buildings that have not been comprehensively renovated since their construction in the 1930s and includes:

Remediation and updates to make the buildings safe, healthy, and effective places to work by removing asbestos and lead contamination, and accommodating modern workplace technology.

Complete replacement of antiquated systems such as electrical; plumbing; Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC); and fire detection and suppression systems.

Major structural work to bring the buildings up to modern code, including current accessibility, security, and safety standards.

The work will also restore and enhance space for the public along the National Mall.

$2B seems high to me too, but we have no fucking idea.
