      I think funniest trump bit was saying something akin to: “yeah, they got very important job, they get heads or tails, and say we raising or lowering interest rates, very smart guys these ones”

      Didn’t he lower them in 2018-2019 anyway, when stock market caught a sneeze? (Under trump pressure)
