Trump Slams Biden for Decision That Trump Actually Made in 2017

People

Donald Trump is criticizing his predecessor's choice of Federal Reserve chairman — though he seems to have forgotten one important detail. During a recent Oval Office meeting, the president lamented the appointment of Jerome Powell to lead the United States' central bank, wrongfully pinning the decision on Joe Biden.

00:00He's a terrible Fed chair.

00:02I was surprised he was appointed.

00:04I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in

00:07and extended him, but they did.

00:11Mr. President, Jerome Powell, do you have plans,

00:14or if you're back, considering firing Jerome Powell?

00:18What's your justification, if you're thinking about this,

00:21to do this?

00:21He's always been too late.

00:23Hence his nickname, Too Late.

00:26He should have cut interest rates a long time ago.

00:29Europe has cut him 10 times in the short period of time,

00:31and we cut him none.

00:34The only time he cut him was just before the election

00:36to try and help Kamala or Biden,

00:39whoever the hell it was, because nobody really knew.

00:43Obviously, that didn't work.

00:44But he tried to cut him for the Democrats, Kamala.

00:48And how did that work out?

00:51You'll tell me.

00:52It didn't work out too well, did it?

00:53But he's, he's, I think he does a terrible job.

00:57He's costing us a lot of money and we fight through it.

01:00It's, it's almost, the country has become so successful

01:03that it doesn't have a big impact.

01:05But it does hurt people wanting to get a mortgage.

01:10People want to buy a house.

01:11He's a terrible, he's a terrible Fed chair.

01:14I was surprised he was appointed.

01:16I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him.

01:21But, uh, they did.

01:24So, no, we're not planning on doing anything.

01:27We're very concerned.
