Ending The Year With So Much Winning!

On Christmas Day, Donald Trump amplified multiple foreign-based accounts on X that were pushing MAGA political content. With X’s new "about this account" feature, it is possible to see that many of the accounts that Trump likes to share are operating outside the United States, even though they often present themselves as based here.
Remember all those Twitter accounts that were revealed to be foreign based? Trump doesn’t. He only cares about content, not context.
One begins to see a pattern….
Reporter: China has been doing naval exercises basically to test encircling Taiwan. Can you explain to us what your knowledge is of that?

Trump: Well, I have a great relationship with XI and he hasn't told me anything about it.

Reporter: You said where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So, if you’re doing naval exercises..

Trump: They’re been doing naval exercises for 20 years
Trump don’t need no intelligence. Also, too, as well: I am not making the following up:
"Biden reappointed him, and it's too bad," the president said. "But he's an absolute fool who's building a new Federal Reserve, or he's doing a renovation of a building. Maybe he's up to $4.1 billion to do a renovation of a few very small buildings. It's the highest price in the history of construction."

We're thinking about bringing a suit against Powell for incompetence," he noted. "These are small buildings. He said four billion more, it's going to end up costing more than four billion dollars. Four billion. It's the highest price of construction."

"So we're thinking about bringing a gross incompetence, what's called gross incompetence lawsuit. It's gross incompetence against Powell," he added. "And it was his baby. And the guy's just incompetent. There's nothing you can do about it. He's just a very incompetent man. But we're going to probably bring a lawsuit against him."
From what (little) I know about the Fed, I don’t see how Trump even has standing to sue. Nor how there is even the option of a lawsuit. And it would be against the office of the Chairman (if at all), not against Jerome Powell personally. My niece’s 9 year old son understands how the world works better than Trump does. These vague and glittering allegations ("Maybe he’s up to $4.1 billion…”) won’t move the needle with the Supremes, who’ve already warned him off messing with the Fed. Firing Powell for alleged gross incompetence will just create grounds for a lawsuit challenging the firing. Grounds that will actually favor Powell’s position better than opposing “I am the unitary executive” alone would.
