The president can’t fire the Fed chair. The president doesn’t have that power.
Better wait for the coming nocturnal tweetstorm that he produces when his body is busy defecating. Thats when Trump decides policies and takes u-turns cause he is a hurt manchild.
It’s to be honest unbelievable how easily he buckles under pressure, admitting he can’t fire the Fed Chair, and the Wall Street Journal’s admission that Trump’s tariffs were the biggest economic policy mistake in decades just shows the extent of the damage he’s inflicted, especially because he’s been trying to blame everyone else for his failures.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
Now we have the worst of both worlds. Prices will go up because of the tariffs, and they will stay up because no sane US company will risk the money it takes to build new factories when Trump changes his mind more often than he changes his underwear.
The self-proclaimed world’s greatest deal maker can’t even negotiate a shallow ramp
I mean, it’s like every live TV appearance for the past 10 years. He says so much stupid insane stuff. Everything is a clownshow, he made fun of a disabled reporter to him ranting about Arnold Palmers penis. Let’s not forget the insane crap he said during live covid briefings.
Trump traffics chaos, wake up America
He’s been backing down a lot lately. He will back down if he gets enough pushback. Democrats need to learn from this and start pushing back on everything.
The Wall Street Journal fired off an editorial calling Trump’s tariffs “the biggest economic policy mistake in decades,” and said Trump’s policies followed by his threat against Powell triggered a financial “meltdown.”
So on Tuesday, Trump did some damage control.
“I have no intention of firing him,” Trump said while taking questions from reporters during a televised appearance where he also blamed the media.
O’Donnell said Trump capitulated in front of everyone.
“And so now the humiliated clown Donald Trump, who has been the subject of some of the finest economic editorial writing the Wall Street Journal has ever done, has decided that it’s time to back down and desperately assure Wall Street ‘I have no intention of firing him,’” O’Donnell summarized.
This dudes still gonna claim victory
Just remember…Congress can end this today if they choose
You have to have a conscious to be humiliated.
He always was. Everyone knew that there were only two possible outcomes: either the USA commits economic suicide, or the USA government folds. Either way, Trump loses.
All those countries wanting to “negotiate”? They were just there to gain time or to see whether they could deflect the tariffs by promising something of no consequence. The EU even offered something they always wanted in the hope that Trump’s ego would compel him to accept that as a “win”. China, having more to gain domestically by forcing the USA into an unwinnable position, chose confrontation instead. Almost everyone else would have too, eventually. And now all of them will.
Lawrence O’Donnell is a national treasure – and should be protected at all costs.
Despite a gargantuan mountain of evidence, people seem to be mind-numbingly slow on connecting the dots that EVERYTHING he touches turns to complete and utter S. H. I. T!
I don’t know why anyone actually believes the turd. He sticks his finger in the wind and blurts out bull shit to get a rise out of us. Kinda his thing.
These major power plays are strictly words to control the puppets on a string. Seems the markets, Universities, law firms and so many others are organizing to hold this bastard down.
He is totally reactional and transactional all driven by ego and a tiny dick.
Melt-down has to be the term of the year. His humiliation comes with melt-down tantrums that will vilify the press even more and credible news sources on TV and publications that dare to speak truth to power. In true authoritarian style he will seek to hobble, extort and destroy the truth in all forms. This is already happening when the Bill Owens, long time producer of 60 minutes resigned suddenly due to content restraints placed by CBS executives who are acquiescing to Trumps Lawsuit (extortion).
Years ago a friend repeated a quote “If the chairman of the fed hangs up on the president, it is the president that calls back and apologizes”.
Probably the way it should stay.
“Who run Bartertown?”
Trump has made America the laughing stock of the world
“Moment”? Trump’s entire career is about bullshit and grandstanding. When has he NOT been exposed for what he is: a loser, liar, fraudster, conman?
I think this writer is trying to create a critical moment type situation where really it’s the whole deal that is the con.
He didn’t have the cards
He’s a cuck. He gets off on the humiliation
We won’t ever get some of these markets back.
He also took a big step back with China on the tariffs in that press conference. He truly is a clown
The US has never looked weaker and more vulnerable.
Boy, he looks rough. The hair tricks aren’t working anymore. Why did he want to be president again at this age? I think Vance will get his chance in the oval office regardless of whether congress gets its act together.
It’s absolutely incredible, almost hilarious the level of self-own/own goal/self-sabotage this trade war has been
Trump is an “undue attention” seeker. He will do whatever it takes to gain attention. Good or bad behavior – doesn’t matter. And he will escalate his behavior until he has the attention he seeks.
DJT can’t look away from stuff like this, and Lawrence O’Donnell knows this, so this is a segment produced for an audience of one. DJT will see this, because he is a predictable self-obsessed narcissist.
From the other side of the Atlantic, you’re damn right we noticed the president fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
You’re an international laughing stock but the joke wore thin long ago
If people don’t understand that Trump is a moron by now then they will never understand!
You had to be a thoroughbred moron to look at Trump and think “Yeah, that’s my guy” before he took office. Now, if you’re still saying that, you’re just lying to yourself out of pure cope.
Would trade for a “Weekend a Bernie’s” type president with a law-abiding, policy focused, competent administration over whatever this has become.
Where are all the tea party guys from 10 years ago? A want to be King issues hundreds of tariffs (taxes) on imports and nothing from them…not a peep. I know it was astroturfed, but come on
lol that orange traitor has been a clown since the 80s, likely earlier but that seems to be when he started to get publicity.
He’s like a wounded animal trapped in the corner. He’s just going to lash out again.
He still owes Americans the trillions he lost them in the last 4 weeks, so there is NO REDEMPTION for his stupidity until he gets us back our money, which he alone is responsible for taking. Don does not do embarrassment. He will look you in the eye and lie to you that none of what the world has witnessed happened, and we are all hallucinating.
The implications of his disastrous economic decisions are just beginning to be felt. There are miles to go before we sleep, and worry if we are near the cliff edge, leaning over it, or already speeding over it due to the incompetence of one man.
His level of incompetence is unmatched in the history of our country, without a doubt – and possibly in the entire world – for pure malfeasance in his first four months on the job.
You can’t humiliate someone that is shameless.
Isn’t it funny that a regular person with a functioning brain could have seen this coming the second he announced “liberation day” ? It’s depressing that so many people didn’t even remember how incompetent they were the last time. He is still woefully incompetent he just has a blueprint written by smart competent racist lunatics. Project 2025 has gotten us where we are today, God help us .
Dumbasses, everyone who has their nose in Trump’s shitty diaper.
Cucks
Yeah Trump has been a clown for decades. The humiliating part would be how half of America eats up his obviously corrupt and incompetent clown show.
At this point I think this is obvious market manipulation. The question we should all be asking is who is profiting and what is Trump telling them.
The Fart of the Deal
It’s another pump and dump. He’ll say something stupid and tank things again soon.
He caved and capitulated. Like always. But can you imagine this guy leading America during wartime? He would cut-and-run at the first problem.
But his supporters will think that his reversal was some mastermind shit.
There’s a joke…
Q: How many trump supporters does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None. trump claims he did it and they all stand in the dark cheering.
He’s been a humiliated clown on TV for a long time.
