On April 9th, as the stock market continued its weeklong meltdown after “Liberation Day,” Trump Regime economic dipshits Scott Bessent, Howard Nutlick, and their minions took advantage of complete fucking assclown Peter Navarro’s meeting with other chode Kevin Hassett and cornered the Orange God Emperor in the Oval Office, successfully getting the fat bastard to back down, the Wall Street Journal reports on more of this classic “adults in the room” shit.
In very much related news, actually basically the same story, the New York Times reports that the fat fuck backed off from moving forward on firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell by the threat of more market turmoil that would no doubt ensue if he does it… He probably still will, eventually.
