Trump confronts Jerome Powell during Fed tour, highlighting budget issues and pressure on interest rates.
President Trump was in his construction element at the Federal Reserve today, touring the site of the controversial, purportedly Taj-Mahal-like renovations the Fed Chair has been overseeing. The wispy, bespectacled Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, looks like he shrank three sizes today.
President Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made an awkward pair Thursday as they toured a grossly over-budget renovation of the central bank’s headquarters near the White House.
This is so much Alpha male and Cringe Dog.JEEZ. It’s painful, and I don’t even like the guy. And he did kinda bring it on himself.

Powell attempted to BLOCK White House staff from visiting, so Trump decided he was PERSONALLY going.

There’s not a lot for me to write about here, honestly. It’s that gruesome a masterclass in public disembowelment (Schmaybe even disemPowellment?).
You simply have to watch Trump go to work like a raptor. You can see Powell turn puce green and look like he wants to puke in some of these shots.
Nope. He’s on his own.
Get the man some smelling salts.
This is one of those moments when the husband has the receipts for the spending, if you get my drift.

One of Vizzini’s Rules: Never go in against Trump when construction is on the line.
