Former President Trump slams Jerome Powell (again!) for not cutting interest rates, and honestly, it's a mood.
Former President Trump slams Jerome Powell (again!) for not cutting interest rates, and honestly, it's a mood.

Like Literally Can We Just Cut These Rates?

Okay so like I was scrolling through my phone – as one does – and I saw that President Trump is like totally not happy with the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Apparently he's calling him 'destructive' because he's not cutting interest rates. Like 'rise and shine' people haven't we learned anything? Trump thinks Powell is costing the U.S. 'hundreds of billions of dollars.' That's a LOT of lip kits!

Is He a Political Guy? Or Just Like Clueless?

Trump even went as far as to call Powell a 'real dummy' in a late night Truth Social post. Drama! He’s saying Europe had ten cuts (in rates obvi) and we had zero. Zero! He thinks Powell might be a 'political guy' who's not smart. Honestly I can relate to thinking someone's not smart. Remember when people thought I didn't know what 'R' stood for in 'R&B?' Iconic.

Maybe I Should Run the Fed?

And get this Trump even joked about appointing himself to lead the Federal Reserve saying he'd do a 'much better job.' Honestly I’m thinking like maybe he should! Or maybe I should! I mean if I can build a billion dollar empire selling lip gloss how hard can managing interest rates be? It’s just numbers right? '2016 was the year of realizing stuff,' maybe 2024 will be the year of Kylie as Fed Chair!

Waiting Game: Powell's Just Chillin'

Powell meanwhile is all like 'We’re good we’re waiting to learn more.' So basically he's just chilling. Meanwhile Trump is stressin'. The Federal Open Market Committee is keeping the borrowing rate between 4.25% 4.5% which is where it's been since December. Slow and steady wins the race I guess? But does it get you a Birkin bag?

So We Have a Stupid Person?

Trump never one to mince words (bless his heart) said 'So we have a stupid person. Frankly you probably won't cut today.' Savage! But like is it effective? Does calling someone 'stupid' actually make them change their mind? Asking for a friend...who may or may not be me when I’m trying to get Stormi to eat her veggies.

The Plot Thickens: Who Will Be the Next Fed Chair?

Trump says he's going to announce his pick for the next chair 'very soon.' Ooh the suspense! Will it be a 'smart' person? Will it be a 'political' person? Will it be…me? Okay probably not. But a girl can dream right? After all 'I'm gonna get wasted. I just finished a whole cup of 42Belvedere with lemonade.' Who knows what might happen after that?
