and be all "Who appointed this loser!"
And someone would point out, "Uh, you're the president. You appointed him."

Trump never did have the slightest clue what his job was, past the "pardoning all his criminal friends" part.

Uncharacteristic of trump. The QAnon shaman would have been more in line.

mainly because of their own investments and their cronies', Fed Chair is the ONE position to which they will appoint competent people, as with Dubya's choice of Ben Bernanke.
