Powell is the only governmental official I've seen who actually has the integrity/courage to correct the President when he exaggerates claims.

Trump getting caught in a lie in real time 😂

Trump is a fool who thinks he can lie and no one will notice. Adding in random other buildings to inflate numbers is ridiculous. It fits with his claim that he will reduce drug prices by 1000% and that he has secured $16 trillion in investments. Neither of which is real.

Trump looked like a pathetic idiot caught in a blatant lie. But maga will still support it and believe it. But a building from 5 years ago that was finished building, is not a renovation. Even a moron should know that.

Powell is all out of fcks to give. 😂😂 This is how someone that is not in the maga cult or under Trump’s thumb reacts. Like dude stop your BS lying.

fact checking live on TV is incredible! Good for Chairman Powell!

Fed Chair Jerome Powell trying to ‘teach’ architecture to the man who built the NYC skyline. This Isn’t going to end well for Jerome Powell.

Look at Powell's face when trump starts lying!

Trump just learned a valuable lesson. Don’t try to fudge the numbers with a guy, who has made numbers make sense his entire career.

I can't get enough of Trump getting owned lol

He did the meme

Trump added a finished building to inflate renovation costs—just to grab a headline. Powell corrected him in real time. Quietest mic drop in Fed history. 🎤📊

Trump got shown to be a liar on live TV. He added an unrelated building that was constructed 5 years ago to the cost. Just a complete clown show every single day.

This is exactly why most of America hates the government. These people proudly build pretty places for themselves to plop their ass*s in front of a computer while the rest of America is struggling to buy their first house. Drop the rates you dick!

Powell says 'whatever. You're wrong, AGAIN. And you can't fire me'.

Powell made Trump look like a fool in real time by exposing his bullshit. I wish the press would do the same.

Powell looks scared...and nervous...

@Scaramucci OMG! Love the way Powell shakes his head “NO” the entire time Trump is talking! Powell not letting Trump get away with bullshit. It was brilliant!

That Powell could read in 5 seconds what Trump couldn’t in his big gotcha prep for the meeting is a perfect illustration why dum-dum’s public synopsis of any document/financials/report/litigation/whatever should *always* be treated as if it’s coming from a child (old one)

Powell is savage. He's not intimidated by Trump AT ALL, and I love it. Dems should take notes.

Powell is misusing taxpayer money while the nation is burdened with a staggering $37 trillion in debt. This man must be fired for his actions, which have no legitimate purpose other than providing a luxurious retreat for his wealthy associates.

Before you whip up your liberal clown show audience in a frenzy, Trump was presented with that cost sheet by Tim Scott himself. That won’t stop you though for saying Trump lied about the third building. It’s what you do.

Trump got caught lying 😆 Powell instantly owned him

Trump looks like a complete idiot pulling a document out of his pocket. Like it’s official and a gotcha moment. The only one who prevailed on truth in that exchange was Powell. He knew Trump was about to do something stupid. I say, if Powell is fired, we protest. Who is in?

@anniekarni Important to note: Trump was correct and Powell was wrong.

To clarify: Trump is blatantly fudging the numbers as a strong arm mafioso PR tactic to try and make Powell look bad. The Martin building was a completely separate renovation that was completed in 2021. It was a completely separate project budgeted, designed, and executed separately from the current renovation. This is not “catching Powell” — it is Trump behaving very disingenuously to try and exert political pressure on someone who is supposed to be an independent, politically neutral custodian of our monetary system.

Powell for President. Apparently the only human being alive who will tell Trump to his face that’s he’s a prevaricating nincompoop.

Kaitlan is a nasty person, and outside of her family, NOBODY likes her…seriously. 🤣🤣🤣

@TheDailyShow is gonna have a field day with this 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This kind of toxic ambush framing set-up in front of the media is becoming tediously predictable. Powell did a solid job defending the record with clear context communication. Look at Tim Scott doing his best JD Vance imitation as the malicious PR goon supporting Trump’s attempted smears.

Jerome cooking the books 🤣

Comedy Gold!! Powell’s face was awesome! That man has zero time for nonsense.🤣
