Default Autopen, autoshmen! Trump can’t remember he appointed Powell and blames… who else?

Is Trump really after Jerome Powell? Or has he TACOed again after being reminded that he really can’t fire him.

We really don’t know, because Trump apparently doesn’t know who Powell is.

Not surprising for a megalomaniac who is also a moron.

If he’s truly as demented as he seems, then I'm expecting a slew of new posts about Biden’s “decline” from the cittering masses.

Let the Unabombing begin.


https://www.the-independent.com/news...-b2790464.html


Surprised’ Trump appears to forget he appointed Powell as Fed chair before blaming Biden for keeping him on

Seeming gaffe comes a day after he fabricated a story about his uncle and Unabomber Ted Kaczynski

Donald Trump appeared not to recall having been the president who first appointed Federal Reserve Board of Governors Chair Jerome Powell to the position he has held since 2018 — the second year of Trump’s first term.

Trump, who has been flirting with the notion of firing the central bank boss over his failure to cut interest rates, was speaking during an Oval Office press opportunity alongside the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain when he was asked whether he was seriously considering the move, as has been reported.

He replied with a derisive set of remarks in which he assailed Powell for not pushing the central bank’s board to cut interest rates, citing the European Central Bank’s multiple rate cuts in recent months, and accusing Powell of only having assented to cuts during last year’s election to benefit the Democratic candidate, former vice president Kamala Harris and calling him “a terrible Fed chair” before expressing surprise that he had been named to the position in the first place.

“I was surprised he was appointed,” Trump said.

In his next breath, the 79-year-old president possibly remembered that he was the one who nominated Powell to the job as a successor to Janet Yellen during his first term, and added that he had been surprised by Powell’s re-appointment to a second term by his successor and predecessor, President Joe Biden.

President Donald Trump looks on as his then-nominee for chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell takes to the podium at the White House, Nov. 2, 2017. Trump on Wednesday told reporters: “I was surprised he was appointed.”

“I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him,” he said.

The president’s apparent gaffe came just one day after he delivered a rambling speech in Pittsburgh in which he claimed that his uncle, a noted physicist who helped develop radar systems during World War II, taught notorious terrorist Theodore Kaczynski at MIT, despite none of it having actually happened.

During his meandering remarks at Carnegie Mellon University, Trump invoked his late paternal uncle, Dr. John Trump, who he often describes as the “longest-serving professor” to ever teach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, even though the noted physicist did not achieve that distinction despite teaching there for 37 years as a professor and another 12 as a senior lecturer after mandatory retirement. John Trump died in 1985.

President Trump called the late Dr. Trump, a pioneer in cancer research who was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Ronald Reagan in 1983, a “smart man,” citing his multiple scientific degrees, and claimed that one of his students was Kaczynski, a mathematics professor who became widely known as the Unabomber when he was arrested in 1996 for a decades-long string of letter bomb attacks on figures in higher education and other industries.

“Kaczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kaczynski was? There's very little difference between a madman and a genius,” he said.

Trump then claimed to have asked his uncle about the murderous ex-academic.

“What kind of a student was he Uncle John? He said: “What kind of a student — seriously, good ... he’d go around correcting everybody. But it didn't work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well, but it's interesting in life,” Trump said.

The crowd did not show much of a reaction to the story, and it was unclear if the president was confusing Kaczynski, who died in a federal prison in 2023, with someone else. But it’s highly unlikely if not impossible that any of what he said about his uncle and the notorious murderer was true.

Not only did Kaczynski — whose undergraduate degree was from Harvard and earned his Masters and Doctoral degrees in mathematics from the University of Michigan — never attend MIT, but even if the president’s uncle had crossed paths with the future terrorist, he could not have known that Kaczynski had been responsible for 16 bomb attacks between 1971 and 1995.

The University of California at Berkeley professor turned murderous recluse was one of the country’s most wanted fugitives until 1996, when his brother David Kaczynski, turned him in to the FBI after reading the now-infamous manifesto, Industrial Society and its Future, after The Washington Post published it at the recommendation of then-Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh.

LOL! Jacky, have you posted anything about any president’s mental acuity? Have you posted the word “senile” on this board?

Trump was a blithering maniac when we voted him out of office and he tried to convince the world he had been elected anyway.

He’s just blithering now. Failing physically as well as mentally.

And that gets a “So?” He’s been publicly trashing and threatening the Fed Chair for months. And now he doesn’t remember that he appointed him. Biden would stutter and catch himself. He’d skip a line on the prompter. Lose his place. And look bad recovering.

Trump just blasts through with the bullshit and doubles down on it.

Tomorrow, he’ll deny ever meeting Powell.

Holy 25th Amendment, Batman!

So?

Keep trying.
In right at 3 1/2 years you will succeed in finally getting rid of President Trump.

I won’t be voting for him, no.

The “getting rid of” part is not my job, but me political insiders say he’ll-surely hang himself after next years election cycle, if not before.

He’s likely got a terminal condition but forgot he has it.

So?

Reporting another major gaffe by Trump with potential impact on the economy. With the story. And the link. And my take. DONE.

Vita, what in your opinion gets accomplished in any thread in this forum?

Do you think it's a significant event in terms of US leadership on the domestic stage?

Or does Trump get another pass for this?

Why don't you, Salty, and Jacky take your discussions offline ?


It is the same thing over and over, day after day.

Same could be said for any thread/poster here.

You don't need to read these threads, as a wise man once said.

I’m not being hypocritical.
I believe what I wrote in your links, and disagree with the OP’s assessment in this thread.

You disagree that Trump forgot he appointed Powell?

No you are not being hypocritical.
You are being, as i stated, *blindly* hypocritical.

There is more than enough material to do a search here on maggies, 2020 election, joey being too old and geriatric. These are qualities the current potus has in spades and it is no problem with you and yours.

And it is glaringly obvious that the current and former office holders would have issues.

Your selective memory/sight is just one symptom of the problems maggies have and are in denial about.
