Donald Trump Tears Into 'Too Angry, Too Stupid' Jerome Powell
Newsweek ^ | 7/31/25 | Hugh Cameron

Posted on 07/31/2025 5:33:50 AM PDT by DallasBiff

President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday, after the central bank again voted to leave interest rates unchanged.

"Jerome 'Too Late' Powell has done it again!!! He is TOO LATE, and actually, TOO ANGRY, TOO STUPID, & TOO POLITICAL, to have the job of Fed Chair," Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday morning.

"He is costing our Country TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS," Trump continued, before calling the ongoing renovations to the Fed's D.C. headquarters "one of the most incompetent, or corrupt, renovations of a building(s) in the history of construction!"

Newsweek has contacted the Federal Reserve for comment.

In before the habitual GOP_E whiners rush here to complain how Trump should just accept the Deep State manipulation and not fight back fighting back is “divisive”

One thing for sure, that little weasel isn’t going anywhere until his time is up.

He’s obviously anti Trump and will do whatever he can as long as he can to slow Trumps agenda.

I wonder about the interest rates from ‘27 to ‘29 as they soared from 5+ to 7+ just before the Great Depression starting in ‘29.

They dropped afterwards but was it one of the causative factors in the crash.

Are you going to fire the other 12 members who vote too? Trump still hasn’t realize the fed chair is not a dictatorship.

Agreed. Nine members voted to keep interest rates as they are. Only two voted against Powell.

Yep. I just don’t believe that Trump doesn’t understand his w the fed reserves work. He’s supposed to be a big shot business man.

Meh, another Trump rant. Kinda like the old man shouting at the clouds, -except that this is the guy we hired to get things done.

At least his mouthing off all the time is only 10% of the package and we get results the rest of the time so we need to be grateful for the 90% and ignore the rest.

Didn’t you get the memo? Smoot-Hawley (1931) caused the Depression (1929)

Firing him is not going to change the rate.

Just apply any tariff income to the debt and do it immediately. That will reduce the accruing interest through a back door.

I don’t think Powell is anti-Trump...and he believes he is right in holding to the present rates.

Well, when they were together the other day Powell sure was behaving like a jackass.....that doesn’t tell me he’s on board with Trumps agenda.
