Will fight back legally.

It’ll never happen but I’d love to hear Powell reply, “Funny how many people would feel the same way about your “termination.””

or various Board Members who are in termed positions.

It's one of 2 things - either Powell had a way of cutting through his bullshit -OR- the REAL oligarch PTB told him "don't touch or else".

And I didn’t hear the board members say, prior to their dismissal, that they would not leave if Trump fired them or that they’d sue.

On edit: adding to his power—he likely has strong support from many of the business titans whose opinions and money TSF cares about.

he wanted to get rid of him back during the first term when he was whining about the interest rate increases and Powell finally relented and held them steady for a bit. Of course 45's COVID economic collapse meant that they had to scramble to take the rates back down to near zero.



Bernanke had headed up the Fed during the 2008 economic collapse and took the rates down to near zero until near the end of Obama's 2nd term when they started going back up again with Yellen, and that continued with Powell in 45's term.

Powell is also a Republican, so that also factors in somewhere.

If you don’t kiss the ring you’re out. Whatta way to calm the markets. Fail.

..... an El Salvadoran prison in the middle of the night - never to be seen or heard from again ?

Even suggest that!

Trump doesn't want to just fire Powell; he wants him dead. And somewhere out in the heartland, a red hat is watching the president say this inflammatory sound bite on Fox News and is muttering to himself, "By your command, Mr. President."

“Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is pushing back against President Donald Trump after deftly avoiding confrontation for months. In a question and answer session Wednesday, Powell portrayed chaotically implemented tariffs as plainly bad for the economy; slammed the approach taken by the Department of Government Efficiency; and issued a legal defense for why he thinks he can withstand any attempt by Trump to fire him. At a time of rising concern about Fed independence, he did us all a favor by showing he’s laser-focused on the central bank’s core goals and will fight to be able to keep it that way.

Predictably, ...”

The rest is behind a paywall.

Like so many others…

Something we haven't seen since the seventies.

The more Trump open his mouth the more he proves he's an idiot.

Once he shuffles his mortal coil, we can burn the bloated suety corpse for electricity, and it will be the only social good he's ever performed. We can also bury his remains next to his ex-wife what's-her-name on his golf course so no one can piss on his grave.
It's a logical plan of action.
