Jim Bullard Says He Wants Jay Powell’s Job, And What John Williams Was Really Trying To Say

On June 21, when Jim Bullard penned a short blog post explaining the rationale for the first dissent of Jerome Powell's tenure as Fed chair, everyone made the same joke. "This could double as a job application if Trump is looking for who might replace Jay once he's demoted", we quipped. Within minutes of Bullard's dissent, finance Twitterati was passing around the famous Trump lawnmower boy meme with the caption "GO FIND ME THIS JIM BULLARD GUY!" https://twitter.com/Reganonymous/status/114141
