Weird that he's doing everything in his power to cause a depression if he's so worried about it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

that's because he is an idiot
Basically Powells quasi-independence from Trump is one of the last strands of hair that gives the US Dollar credibility.
Replace him by just another MAGA brain, and the Dollar will be losing trust like a sieve loses water.
If Trump screws up the finances, his "third term" is impossible.
Not necessarily in this timeline. Each time I think this is the worst that can happen, he hands someone his beer 😕
Let me introduce you to a little concept called martial law…
He needs to at least give his billionaire chums a few days notice to offload a massive chunk of their shares first.
1929, 1938, whats the difference ?! /s
As long as Trump gives his flock something to fear and look down upon, nothing else he does matters.
From what he’s been spouting today, it looks more like setting Powell up to be a scapegoat for his die-hard followers than any real “tempering”.
I call bullshit on NYT. This is people in the admin trying to sanewash things.
