For months, President Donald Trump has been complaining about one man in particular,
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
Trump has called him names,
said he should be fired and just keeps pressuring him to lower interest rates.
So we have a stupid person, frankly, at the Fed.
He probably won't.
I think he does a terrible job.
He's costing us a lot of money.
Too late.
I call him too late Powell because he's always too late.
We're thinking about bringing a suit against Powell for incompetence.
He's a knucklehead.
And then this weekend we found out the Justice Department has launched a criminal probe into Powell.
This might sound familiar.
An official Trump doesn't like now getting investigated by the DOJ.
But the ripple effects of this showdown could extend far beyond Washington and hit our pocketbooks.
It could affect mortgage rates, car payments, and how much things cost for you and me.
