Whine about Powell not lowering interest rates to compensate for your idiot move, check. Threaten to fire the one person people are depending on to keep the markets stable, check. As long as Powell is there the Felon can't completely destroy the market with his boasts about knowing more than the experts and implementing further disastrous actions via a Powell replacement.
Oh yeah, there was also talk of getting rid of the FDIC.
Does that just about cover his first and last 90 days?
I keep hearing "the market is not the economy". True, but the market is a reflection of the present and future economy.
At least MTG was able to take advantage of the situation. Her district constituents should be very proud.
