Trump Discusses Firing Powell Privately?
Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump has been privately discussing the possibility of firing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for months, but he has not yet made a final decision on whether to push him out before the end of his term next year. Sources say that during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trump discussed the possibility of firing Powell before the end of his term with former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh, and may consider choosing Warsh to take over his position. However, Warsh suggested not to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and believes he should be allowed to finish his term without interference. U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin also opposes Trump's intention to dismiss Powell.
I support Trump firing him sooner rather than later 😂
