They hired someone to work as second in command. Maybe that’s their way around it?

“Trump said he was going to fire him?”

I guess you were disconnected last week from financial news. The US dollar and the 10-year Treasury were rocked when President Trump threatened just that. And my recollection is that many on this forum were delighted with the prospect.

Search “powell” on the top right of the home page and you’ll find the following stories:

Trump can't fire the Fed Chairman, just like he can't fire a Supreme Court Justice.
