Trump’s Infallible ‘Gut’ Is ‘Not Even A Little Bit Happy’ With ‘Jay’ Powell, Ok?!
At this point, the English language is not a sufficient tool when it comes to communicating how over-the-top Donald Trump's criticism of Jerome Powell has become.
The President has lashed out at his Fed chair on so many different occasions since his bombshell interview with CNBC's Joe Kernen in July that it's well-nigh impossible to document them all.
It started with that interview on July 19 and within two months, Trump was trash talking Powell at the Hamptons home of a hot dog baron - and th
Wow. I am completely speechless on this one. That quote of his is really unbelievable. I haven’t a clue what to say here.

Thanks for another great piece Mr. H!
Your victory lap is more than deserved 🙂
That Quote of his, “my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else’s brain can ever tell me” sums up the insanity of this presidency quite well.
Everywhere you look lately, it seems people choose to value some maniacs “gut feelings” (= bowel movements???) higher than rational thinking (Trump, Brexit, Italy,…)
This trend does not bode well for the future of mankind.
Ironically, nobody would want to step into an airplane built upon an engineer’s gut feeling.
TDS–boring
“The president also appeared hung up on Yellen’s height. He told aides on the National Economic Council on several occasions that the 5-foot-3-inch economist was not tall enough to lead the central bank, quizzing them on whether they agreed, current and former officials said”
It’s really unclear what the height requirement is and if there are other positions with height requirements? Or perhaps this is just another one of his gut instincts?
Early 2016, my gut told me he was an incompetent disgusting human being — turns out, I was correct!
