So today, we're going to talk about the Fed chair and I having the same sense of humor.

Back in early February, I put out a video detailing a scenario that I described as the most hilarious possibility in Federal Reserve history.

Some quick background.

Trump has it out for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, because Powell won't lower interest rates just to suit Trump's political whims.

Trump's administration has started probes of Federal Reserve governors, including Powell.

So, let's lay out some facts that are important to understanding a potential chain of events that was always possible, but wasn't likely until recently.

Trump wants interest rates lowered.

Trump wants the Federal Reserve to lower those rates.

Trump also wants an overhaul of the Fed in general, which would reduce its independence.

Jerome Powell's term as chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors ends in May.
