You know, cost overruns happen.
And then as quickly as it materialized, it all sort of faded away and we were on to the next thing.
And Powell is the person leading the Fed to cut interest rates against growing objections from his colleagues.
That's a good question.
And it's something that should come out in the fullness of time.
We've seen the administration go after other enemies of the president, Jim Comey, the former FBI director, Letitia James, the prosecutor in Manhattan.
So, you know, it's not like this is the first time we've seen
some sort of effort by the Justice Department to investigate or take a legal action against the people that Donald Trump doesn't like.
It was the first time he said what, you know, many people around the Fed have believed for months, which is that this isn't about building costs, overruns.
We don't.
We don't see that, you know, this all fits with a pattern of...
Interest rates are too high for the president's liking.
And so there are other ways to put people on notice if they don't get on the team.
There's no longer a way to weaponize private pressure against the Fed if it's no longer private.
So by telling the world, here's what is happening and here's what we think about it, it allows the Fed to redefine the field on which this unprecedented clash is playing out.
If there have been presidents who have publicly and privately pressured Fed shares, it's normal for the president to not love when the Fed is raising interest rates or not cutting interest rates.
But you'd have to go back to the Nixon administration to find examples of this kind of pressure being applied.
And even then, I don't think Nixon did anything like this to the Fed.
There have certainly been people around the president who have hoped that if they turn up the heat enough, eventually this frog is going to jump out of the pot.
Just make this as difficult as you can because, you know, you're sending a message to more than the current Fed chair.
