The U.S. president revealed he had appointed Federal Reserve Chair Powell but publicly criticized his performance.

US President Criticizes the Person Who Appointed the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, who is Exactly Himself!

Today, the President once again criticized the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, while the President claimed to be surprised that someone would appoint Powell as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

"He is a terrible Federal Reserve Chairman, and I am surprised that he was appointed — frankly, I am surprised that the previous White House allowed him to join and extended his term, but they did!"

The President has forgotten a very important thing: he was the one who first "put" Powell in place. Powell's first four-year term came from the appointment during the President's first term.

In 2017, the President nominated Powell and stood with him in the White House, praising him greatly: "He is strong! He is determined, and he is smart!"

Later, the President repeatedly praised Powell: "In five years at the Federal Reserve, Jay has earned the respect and admiration of his colleagues for his hard work, expertise, and judgment."
