"Cotton’s view implies that Powell was wrong, and Trump was even more wrong"

Fake news on display, Cotton never blamed Trump.

It does bring up one of Trumps shortcomings. There were some people that he shouldn’t have appointed. Just saying.

Of course he didn't. But they're claiming that if Cotton is blaming Powell then he must also be blaming the man who appointed him. There's enough evidence out there showing Trump really grew to hate Powell to show that claim is wrong.

A fair number of people would argue that the Fed has been hard at work to screw this up since 2000. Some of this goes to poor management talents at US banks. Anyone remember the last time that CD rates were 7-percent (2000)?

True, there would be a lengthy post naming them, starting with Sessions, Wray, Pence etc.

The same year mortgage rates averaged 8.05%. Can't have one without the other.

“some people”

Trump destroyed himself and MAGA by rubber stamping the nominees his GOP handlers put in front of him. His cabinet was a four year dumpster fire. Even after most these traitors (Barr, Wray, Haspell, etc.) showed their true colors he still allowed them to stay on until the bitter end.

Some? More like all. I would really like Trump to humbly find a way to let us know that he has learned from his mistakes and it will be scorched Earth if he gets in again.

The alternative was deflation and massive unemployment.

Inflation was more-or-less under control until January 2021. Biden and the Democrats have been dumping gasoline on the fire ever since.

The first executive order from Puppet Biden was to shut down the Keystone Pipeline.

Gasoline, at the time, was $2.20 on average gallon.

11 months later, the average gasoline price is $3.80.

Energy inflation was caused %100 by the communist puppet. No one else.

That’s not the reason for inflation. Biden’s WIN (Whip Infection Now) program caused inflation.

That is a fact. He was stabbed in the back by a lot of people he appointed to WH jobs.

You are, IMHO, absolutely correct. Also, as you may have suggested, the man needs to gain an appreciation for the tactical value of humility and civility in the fight for what he wants to accomplish.

And there is no blame where advice and consent is concerned?

President Trump didn't appoint him in a vaccuum. He was confirmed, too, by an 84-14 vote. That was one of the widest margins of all of the Trump nominations, so Powell had overwhelming bipartisan support.

Housing Inflation - Trump’s Federal Reserve

Energy & Consumer Good Inflation - Joe Biden’s Keystone Pipeline Order

Cutting off future Canadian oil allowed domestic producers to raise prices.
