of the Treasury encounter. A reporter asked Trump (paraphrasing a bit here) if he was going to back off a bit from his criticism of Powell. Trump said something about still wanting him to lower interest rates, at which point he gave Powell kind of a thump on his back for emphasis. It was quite reminiscent of his shoving aside the PM of Montenegro at a Nato mtng. a few years ago. Goddam boorish bully.
Sorry - wish I had footage. It really jumped out at me.
