Impotence Is Not A Good Look

Lost in the screeching is that Jerome Powell doesn’t set the interest rate. The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve does.  If Trump even could force Powell to resign (he can’t; part of what Powell was saying yesterday), Trump couldn’t force the FOMC to lower interest rates.

Trump really has no power here. Which is why he rails so loudly.
