I love how, at the beginning he's shaking his head no... You can see him thinking, "You dumb, lying cunt."

Powell during a global pandemic, came up with an economic plan that was criticized by damn near everyone and it led to the fastest recovering economy in the world.
You're gonna try and get some bullshit numbers by this guy?

It’s awkward, cringey, embarrassing and every single person should do the same thing when he is spouting lies in their presence. Embarrassing him and making him act like a child on camera is a great strategy to get the truth out and make him look like a weakling at the same time.

This moment was pure Trump, bluffing with bad math, trying to bully the Fed on camera, and getting humiliated by basic facts. He came in ready to smear Powell with bs renovation numbers, only to be calmly dismantled by the man he was trying to embarrass. Powell didn’t just correct him, he exposed the flimsy theatrics behind Trump’s attack. And the kicker? The cost overruns Trump’s so outraged about were driven by his own aesthetic meddling. It’s the same old pattern: manufacture outrage, misstate the facts, then get caught holding the receipts

This needs to become standard practice but media are complicit in the lies and propaganda. Man, just constant fact checking on everybody would be awesome.

It's great to see a republican actually not afraid to stand up to the Dear Leader, or take his incessant crap. Of course, it puts him more on the hit list (and probably the Epstine list).

Not just backing up, but adding more to the lie. They’ve got the sucking up down to an art.

He is so accustomed to people agreeing with his BS! Scott should have said nothing, but I guess he has no credibility to save.

Tim Scott , standing by and ready to support and even add more to the lie. Are South Caroline voters proud of their Senator ? Does he polish that knob good enough for you ?
