How? Trump said he was going to fire him?

“ That’s a reversal from last week, in a big way.”

I haven’t kept up with that at all but I do know in the world of politics, people make political statements for effects. There are a hundred different galloping horses and Trump holds the reins on just a few of them.

He said he would fire him? I don't think that has ever been within the authority of the president. A president can nominate one very four years, and it's approved by the Senate.

The whole point was so a president can't force them into (presumably lowering) rates. Because most presidents would be doing exactly that, although since 2000s, they've been doing it to much anyway.

No need to fire him if you own him. I think he does

I guess people don’t remember Jimmy Carter battling the Fed Chair over lowering interest rates?

I have great regard for our President, but in my opinion, sometimes he Gaslights: he will change his mind (or his apparent intention) in such a calm and easy manner, some will deny he ever had certain specific goals, stated or otherwise. Then I’ll wonder:”I could swear I saw a quote with him making those particular statements, or is it me? Am I having a bit of a Biden Moment?”

I hope Trump gives the Feds a massive DOGE enema. A complete audit of the Feds. Show us everything.

Trump can’t do anything. The judiciary is the President now.

Is this why markets are ripping right now? If so “investors” are not very smart.

“If I want him out of there, he’ll be out real fast.”

Doesn't translate to "I'm firing him".

Yep, more contradiction and lack of consistency and discipline on messaging.
