I know better than anybody

The genius of the stable, aka Horse's Ass, (posted today emphasis added):

Trump also blasted The Wall Street Journal over what he called a “typically untruthful story” about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The Journal’s report said that Bessent had laid out a case to Trump in recent days explaining why he shouldn’t try to oust Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“Nobody had to explain that to me. I know better than anybody what’s good for the Market, and what’s good for the U.S.A,” Trump fumed. "People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!"

This man is basically illiterate, has very little knowledge on any topic
except sexual assault and grifting.

Yet he truly believes he is the expert on every topic under the sun.

Because he is a cruel and hateful person with a minute intellect with which to operate.
