Trump is wrong here using gangster tactics to pressure lower rates. This kind of behavior would lend one in hot water in the 90s. Yet perfectly normal today. We as society declined, no discipline, casino gambling bailing out Wall Street gambling addicts, reckless congress spending, using credit card to pay credit cards. And when Fed finally tries to reign in inflation, thuggish tactics come from president to force his way. This isn’t right. I hope Trump repents.

You know panicans like yourself crack me up. The lows that Obama and Biden went through, folks like you were never as vocal about their overreach like you hold Trump accountable.
This is not business as usual. People still trying to play US Politics as they were 1960 - 2001, are the biggest fools of all. We're so far off center from those easy days of not distinguishing one politician from the other, and feeling like a poser idiot for trying to protest Government like it was 1969 all over again, bitching about world peace. At a time when the world had greater peace than at anytime through out history. We're so passed that now, so I'll ask you a very serious question.
When you rile against what Trump does and play armchair quarterback and shithouse Lawyer.
Exactly what is your optimal outcome if Trump heels to stern warnings?

Either Trump wins this or we're going to be taken over by a Marxist Global government that uses Sharia Law to keep subjects compliant.

What do you want when you reject Trump's methods?

Our DOJ is so corrupt they don't play by the rules, they have selective prosecution and you're on the menu not the commies.
So please enlighten me, what are you fighting for?

I think everyone here, myself included, literally hated every moment of it, and worked for Trump to get him elected. Iwog and Dan quit the website over how pro Trump this site became. What do you mean "you were never as vocal". Don't revise history please TPB.

I don't want illegal behavior from anyone, for long term of America we as society should not accept that. These methods are not ok for anyone.

Whom has he prosecuted, how many communists Marxists who broke the law that he claimed would be prosecuted? Not one so far. Don't blame Bondi, he's the boss, not her. If she isn't prosecuting, it's his call. It was all hot air, lies, professional bullshit sales. Either there are crimes, then prosecute, or shut up. He talks big, yet prosecutes no one because he got nothing. Campaigned on releasing Epstein list, flipped day 1. He says economy is great, but somehow needs lower rates to rescue it? And demands Fannie buy up MBS's to bail out RE investors. He talks big on deportations, but deportations are lower than Obama probably because investors panicked over losing rental income. I'm not saying Democrats are better, they are worse. But I still have issues with Trump and his over promising and under delivering on everything, and constant stream of same old BS. He puts on a show every time, massive show, Somalia (aka Minnesota) show has high ratings, but results so far are underwhelming.

Keep in mind, I'm still a Trump supporter. I just think he has a lot of short comings that he needs to work on. We all go to church of Christ, not church of Trump.

Trump is playing out the midterm clock. We need every Republican America First candidate that is willing to support Trump's policy in ever available seat that is up for election. Playing armchair quarter back now, only will feed into the narrative of the remorseful Trump voters. It does no good.

As for Pam Bondi and folks playing the preverbal terd in the punch bowl. Surely you realize that if Trump fired her, he would never get a replacement confirmed. More over the RINOs and Commies in Congress would use that as a weapon for Trump demanding his cabinet do his bidding. I know, I know, that's how it's always been done, but for some reason it's a crime, when Trump calls people and tells them to stop the fraud, stop the steal.

It was apparent, with every confirmed cabinet member, that those were people that the Swamp could trust.
I posted here at the time, that Trump will have to play the long game, and hope to get a Congress that wont hamstring him in 2026.

If Trump were to remove Pam Bondi in a public vocal disdain because She didn't fetch sticks for Trump. It would be his undoing, used against him in every way. We need a Congress that wont play that game to help the Commies get Trump.

They treat Trump as if his cabinet picks are there to aide them, not Trump. It's high crimes and misdemeanors when Trump expects his Cabinet to do his bidding.

He is not. Powell will face prosecution whether he lowers rates or not. The issue is that Powell lied to Congress about the cost overruns. I wonder who was on the receiving end of this grift.

The purpose of the Fed is to create inflation.

That’s a pretext, no one cares about cost overruns in government, every single thing there cost overruns. Real prosecution is rate dispute.
