That if Trump could fire Powell, then he would hire some ~~flunky~~ ass licker of his to lower the interest rates and fuck everything up for everybody except maybe the billionaires.

Somebody said Powell‚s term ends in 26. if that is so I sincerely hope that the president isn’t the one to appoint a new person in his place
