    1. Going to be a small pool for Trump to pick from, given that in his second term, so far he’s not really been able to find anyone who is both loyal to him and qualified to hold a position.

    2. It’s important to keep in mind that the Fed’s pronouncements on interest rates is merely “guidance” and lacks the force of law. If Trump wants lower interest rates, he should dictate in an executive order that lenders slash their rates. And see how far that gets him!

      1. Bernard, I’ll give you credit for at least admitting your prejudices.

        Especially since the Trump administration is totally packed to the gills with all the best people.

        Like the guy running the Transportation Department. Totally qualified as a reality TV actor.

        Or Linda McMahon. Totally qualified to lead the Education Department since she was in the wrestling business.

        So many of all these best people. Little wonder they they’ve caused decades of damage to America in just months.

      2. Yes, Trump has stacked his administration with DEI hires.

        The MAGA wet-noodles he has picked for office are not even qualified to find their rear-ends with a flashlight, GPS and a medical guidebook. It is scary enough wondering how they manage to tie their shoelaces, let alone thinking of them overseeing important government functions.

        The past eight months has provided many text-book examples by the Trump administration about the dangers of DEI MAGA hiring.

    3. So in TRUMP’s view buying a new primary home before selling your previous primary home is mortgage fraud ? I just did that ! It is a very common to buy move then sell a primary home .. changing that would upset the real estate market make moving more difficult

    4. Independence is something Trump simply can’t accept because it is not about him. Soon he will issue an executive order to call our founding document the Declaration of Trump

    5. The one that needs removed is Trump, his court of jesters along with our “represetatives” in the House and Senate who are sitting on their hands too scared or loyal to his highness to make any moves to remove this idiot from office along with his threat to our democracy. Hope all of you MAGAots are happy with the threat you voted into office.
