Looks like the market, once again, scared him back to down.

The market grabbed him by the pussy

When you're one of the star markets, they let you do it.

He needs somebody to blame. Can’t fire your designated scapegoat.

Guess he can't handle all this winning either.

So that means he's going to fire him next week, right?

When all the goldfish-memory-having-ass republicans have forgotten, definitely.

Why does every fucking headline imply that Trump has the power to fire Powell? What the fuck are these journalists doing?

I reckon he will suffer an actual brain bleed the moment he tells the truth.

Look, I don't know what you guys don't understand about this. He just wants to engage in market manipulation and insider trader. There's no conspiracy here.

Powell... It wouldn't be easy to find someone a better fit for the role from what I've heard. Certainly won't be anyone from within trumps circle. So I'm going to hope that he gets another term.
