Watching that video, you couldn't help but recognize that a line had been crossed, that we were no longer in this environment of kind of tiptoeing around what's going on.
It was direct, blunt, explicit, in a way that nothing he had said before had approached.
Republican senators asked Chair Powell, what's going on here?
Powell gave some defensive answers saying, you know, a lot of the things you've read in the press aren't accurate.
We're not doing this and we're not doing that.
So he implied in this letter, basically Powell either lied to Congress or the Fed failed to notify the relevant building authorities around Washington what they were doing with these buildings.
He keeps the rates too high.
He's called him a bunch of names, an idiot, a moron.
He calls him too late because he thinks the Fed has been too late to cut interest rates.
You had the two men in suits and hard hats, traipsing around these dusty, hot, these plywood walls.
It's a very big construction site over there.
And Powell corrected him in front of the rolling cameras, saying, no, no, Mr. President, you just added a third building.
So there was a little bit of a routine almost, like, can you believe this?
The president and the Fed chair, who rarely talk or hear, are kind of squabbling over cost issues at a construction site.
Donald Trump's a builder.
He knows about a lot of the things they were talking about on that tour.
And so the whole issue, you know, we're watching this thinking maybe there's going to be some real fireworks at the end of it.
But then at the end of the tour, Trump is asked by a reporter, well, is this a fireable offense?
All of these cost overruns and, you know, the White House had been building the argument that this was gross negligence.
And Trump sort of dismissed it all.
