BREAKING: Undercover footage from @JamesOKeefeIII shows Federal Reserve Principal Economist Aurel Hizmo describing Jerome Powell as “somebody who held the line against, like, Trump” and refused to help improve the economy under his administration. Undercover: “Does Jerome Powell hate Trump?” Hizmo: “Yeah, of course.” Hizmo continued: “He [Trump] wanted to stimulate the economy. But he [Powell] wouldn’t do it. He started raising interest rates—doing the opposite of what Trump wanted.” “We don’t want Trump to be in the government.”

You know what's funny? This guy was my classmate in grad school.
Also, isn't this old news?

Very well could be old news. That's hilarious! So this isn't a crisis actor?
reply
I think it's a year old or more already. I remember seeing it when it came out.
Definitely not an actor. It's definitely him, I consider him a friend and he's a nice guy.

Honestly... its kinda a nothing video IMO. Was curious what people would respond with. My response is... duh. And also... do people really want Presidents running the FED? Normal people I mean. I thought it was supposedly independent. So what's the problem?
reply
Yeah, I think it's pretty much a nothing burger. The only problem is, I doubt he actually knows what Jerome Powell is or isn't thinking... so he was probably just saying what he thinks JPow thinks, not anything official about Fed policy.

Yeah... there are a lot of mind readers among us. Sometimes I try to practice it myself...
