  • Trump moves to oust Fed's Lisa Cook, who says she 'will not resign'

    From finance.yahoo.com

    President Trump said late Monday he has removed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her post, following through on a threat to oust her if she refused to resign. The decision comes after members of his administration alleged Cook engaged in mortgage fraud related to the purchase of two properties earlier this decade.

I understand you are upset. I suspect you voted for him.

Saying that 90% of the world sees what MAGA followers can not see, which is, he would rather take revenge on the US people and take their benefits away, + those immigrants you talk about bring billions in revenue to the US (not anymore).

The tariffs are a joke, which the US people pay for at the end of the day as taxes (prices of goods = UP), standard maths.

Extra side note: in the last 9 months his been in, how much money did you make? or saved on your personal capacity.??? Well, New figures show he made $5 billion on YOU!

So you can support him if you want, nothing against you doing so. People are allowed to express their opinions.

There is also sufficient cause to remove Mr. President fromhis post. Nobody is above law, there is only one who thinks he is.
Unfortunately, the people who can do that are the Congress, but currently, they are gutless and stand for nothing except for their own enrichment. And I am talking about both parties.

look at what has happened to your country -mass immigration =massive increase in crime - no free speech. You don't know anything about the USA. Tariffs have not hurt this country maybe yours. As far as MAGA is concerned best thing that has happened.Only people from shithole countries think otherwise.

It's all just Headline Politics with Trump. MAGA supporters have shown that they are unable to process any amount of information over 160 characters. Evident by their shoe size IQ's (see Fox News). Reminds me of this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APo2p4-WXsc Sad thing is that the Majority of the dumbass American voters voted FOR Trump... Trump is an idiot, but the bigger idiot is You. The idiot that voted for Trump thinking that he is for anything other than himself. Buy stocks of Popcorn companies. They are going to be hit very hard...

Yes a dog with no teeths. It is good to see that there is some opposition to Trump and not only nodding donkeys or yes-men around him. Hooray kudos to Lisa Cook, keep up the good work and I wish you to serve your full 14 year term until 2038 as governor at the FED. Good luck and stay strong!
