That's the only shred of joy in this moment is that I was right about the bad news.
That was not even the splashiest remark to me that the president made.
But to me, it's it made me actually it made me smile a little bit because I remember this moment.
So President Trump nominated Chair Jerome Powell.
And at the time, I remember being quite upset because I loved Janet Yellen.
And I and and also Chair Powell was not an economist.
And I thought, like, who does who's who's how is he going to run the central bank if he's not an economist?
One of the things that that made me laugh was immediately Trump had like butted heads with Jerome Powell.
And it was pretty quick.
And there was, like, almost no honeymoon period.
And I remember him bemoaning this fact before he nominated Wurst, saying, well, the problem is they tell you whatever you want to hear, and then you nominate them, and then they have this security in the job, and then they just do whatever they want.
So this tweet...
Just kind of made me smile because it feels like Trump sees what's coming down the pike.
He nominated a hawk.
The hawk may have said some things that indicated like, oh, totally do your thing.
But it seems like the handwriting's on the wall.
Warsh is going to, it seems like, do what needs to be done.
There have been a lot of hints about that.
We don't know.
We don't know.
