President Donald Trump attempted to criticize Jerome Powell during a recent visit to the Federal Reserve, only to be corrected live on television. Trump has continuously pressured the Federal Reserve concerning interest rates and hinted at Powell's removal. During the visit, Trump inaccurately stated the renovation costs, leading Powell to clarify the misinformation. Lawrence O'Donnell remarked on this incident, portraying it as a fitting example of Trump's tendency to avoid confronting those who are more knowledgeable than him.
Donald Trump, in his failed attempt to defer our attention from his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, went to the Federal Reserve headquarters, which is being remodeled, and thought he would shame Jerome Powell because the construction project was over budget according to a piece of paper given to Donald Trump by the most incompetent White House staff in history.
It was the perfect lesson. And why Donald Trump normally avoids confronting anyone who he knows is much, much smarter than he is.
