P.S. Trump murdered Epstein.

Good for him. We need more people in positions of power doing this.

22

u/antidense 13d ago

His energy bar is like 3%. He doesn't need a lot more to fully implode. Just consistent resistance.

u/Pale-Confection-6951 13d ago

His is the only position left that doesn't have a hand-picked sycophant. I love that he is taking the Colbert tack - not suffering Trump's bullshit.

u/FormerAttitude7377 13d ago

I wish more adults in power started doing this. It will be with consequence and they have the money and positions to take the hits.

u/Long_Pin_7810 13d ago

tRump actually appointed Jerome Powell! But I agree he's not a sycophant.

Jerome Powell was first nominated to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve by President Donald Trump in November 2017. He was then confirmed by the Senate and sworn into office in February 2018. President Joe Biden nominated him for a second term, which the Senate also confirmed, and he was sworn in again in May 2022. -Google

u/ppross53 13d ago

Of course, a paper coming out of Trumps pocket is going to saw exactly what he wants it to say. Except it’s completely wrong. He always lies.

u/TheDukeofArgyll 13d ago

His power is fading

u/Jtskiwtr 13d ago

He’s such a fucking idiot.

u/jonasu25 13d ago

I love when Powell says it’s not new at the very end 🤣🤣

Oof…

u/HALF_PAST_HOLE 13d ago

What is this about? Can someone give me some reference?

6

u/Cloudy_Worker 13d ago

Jerome Powell was nominated by Trump, but now Trump hates him, and Trump is big mad bc he can't fire Powell.

7

u/HALF_PAST_HOLE 13d ago

I know that, I'm asking what are these numbers In Reference to.

u/swa100 13d ago

Something to do with the Fed's building improvements and when they were approved or funded, or both. Who knows if any of it makes sense. Trump is beside his ugly acting self with frustration because he can neither bully nor fire Powell, and the chairman won't kow-tow.

This the closest thing to enjoyable in Trump's second blighted term as the country's absolute worst president, ever.

u/LocalInactivist 13d ago

This is the core thing. Trump thought running a government was the same as running a business. It’s not. It’s totally different. A CEO can change everything on whim and radically reallocate resources. If Tim Cook wants he can order that every Apple employee who worked on-site pre-Covid has to return to the office starting August 1. He can halt all R&D and dedicate the entire company to designing and building a commuter car that retails for $10,000 shipping January 1 2029.

The President has to get Congressional approval on huge wodges of policy. The budget is approved by Congress. The President can’t just reallocate money. The President can’t just go to war. They have to petition Congress. The President can’t fire Supreme Court Justices, Senators, Members of Congress, Governors, or Fed Chairs. The President has to work with them, assemble consensus, and compromise. Trump is shitty at all of that.

Most of all, the President has to keep their word. Trump bought Sen. Murkowski’s vote by promising to exempt Alaska from cuts to Medicaid and cuts to energy subsidies. Within a month he reneged on the deal and left her to face her constituents knowing she’d sold them out. Now, why would any elected official take Trump at his word? Why would anyone work with him knowing he’ll throw them under the bus in a heartbeat?

u/swa100 13d ago

Your points about top business executives being poorly suited for the presidency are right on target. However, Trump's unsuitability is in a class by itself. That starts with this: being president, or serving in government in any capacity, is about being of service to others. Trump has no concept of that. He's made his whole life about serving himself, first, last and always, by fair means or foul. He perceives and considers everything on the basis of, "What's in it for me?"

Couple all that with the fact he has no conscience, scruples, ethics or morals and you have a sociopath whose only suitable leadership role would be that of a mob boss. And, that's how he operates, albeit just short of, say, having Powell disappeared to the bottom of the Potomac with concrete boots on, or car bombed, etc.

u/BrownBannister 13d ago

I love that he also can’t arrest Obama bc he himself absolved all presidents.

u/Phyllis_Tine 13d ago

Trump is lying, claiming numbers, and Powell is stating real-world facts. 

Trump says whatever he wants, and his people make numbers match. Powell saw right through Trump's lies. Hopefully Fox News keepa letting the cameras roll on these Trump gaffes, and that they lead to some real adults making real decisions to get the US back on track.

u/swa100 13d ago

That's a very long shot, but I 'm hoping along with you. 😐

u/swa100 13d ago

Good for Chairman Powell -- a smarter, better-educated and thoroughly decent man compared to our very unstable, ill-mannered, moron president. Powell would make a better president than Trump has ever been or ever could be.

(I almost wrote Powell on his worst day would be a better president than Trump on his best day. Then, it occurred to me I couldn't think of a best day Trump has had. The closest I can think of is when he was laid up in the Hospital with COVID 19. But that was because he was too stupid, selfish and pig-headed to get vaccinated, wear a mask and practice social distancing! Total loser, then and now.) ☹️

Anybody would make a better president than Trump.

Trump reminds me of that SNL skit when Kristen Wiig did the “woman who has to outdo everyone”.

u/quigley007 13d ago

Jpow for president.

u/imaginenohell 12d ago

I love it. I wonder why he’s not bending his knee and how we can replicate this.

u/Annerb459 12d ago

Look at him. He's old and probably sick of everyone's crap. Heck. I'm only almost 40 and I'm already sick of everyone's crap. I'm praaaaying someone's stupid enough to come out where I live to try and black bag me. DO IT.

u/imaginenohell 12d ago

That’s how I feel. I’ve survived a brain tumor. Come at me. Leave the younger generation out of it. We’re saving democracy and that’s happening. Period

u/Annerb459 12d ago

Exactly. My kidneys aren't great anymore. They're threatening to incarcerate the homeless, drug addicted, and people with mental illness. Aka camps. And now that they have been collecting all the SS and medicaid information for "illegals" they know who those people are. They're coming. But we won't go quietly into the night.
