Description
President Trump says he would be able to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if he wanted to. Trump says he's not happy with the job he's doing.
Telling a group of reporters in the oval office, "If I ask Powell to leave, ‘he’ll be out of there.’
The president said, he doesn't think Powell is doing 'the job.' “He’s too late. Always too late. A little slow. And I’m not happy with him. I let him know it.”
Thursday in a social media post, Trump said Powell’s “termination cannot come fast enough."
