Trump Surprised ‘Terrible Fed Chair’ Jerome Powell Was Appointed — Forgetting He Appointed Him

Excerpt...

“The country has become so successful that it doesn’t have a big impact, but it does hurt people wanting to get a mortgage, people want to buy a house,” Trump said during an Oval Office gaggle with the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

“He’s a terrible Fed chair,” he continued. “I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him, but they did.”
