Powell is having a great Christmas, unlike most of investors.

Maybe king donnie needs to grow up and think what he has created with TARIFFS. But that's not the problem just ask the A H

The blame for the market dive goes to President Trump, and his erratic policies at every level.

Robbytreeroot The Only People Left in Washington Soon Will Be The Trump Crime Family And The Democrats!!! That Should Be Interesting!!!

Of course he can and HE SHOULD! Trump put him in and he can take him out!

Yeah well those looking to refi are posed at him also. They only took these increases once Trump won in attempt to sabotage economy.

It would appear realDonaldTrump has no idea why the markets are down or how an economy works. Proving why the “successful” business man bankrupts most of his businesses.

He should fire the Rothschild puppet.

Trumps not a dictator. Throw him out. Time for republicans to step up. Impeach trump now!! Take all power from the lunatic. What happen to the republicans? Bought off not about America,just lining their pockets or their racism. Save America get rid of tRump now!!

Each rate increase by the fed encombers the balance sheet, which as we understand is heavily laverage of the Trump Organisation, hence the real Agenda for Trump wanting to fire Powell.

“Asked Hannity”, fixed that for ya.

lol looking to blame someone else for his incompetence. Trumpisafake

So hiring a person based on height isn't a wise strategy. Good to know. TrumpResign TrumpChristmasShutdown ResignTrump 25A

'Trump asks advisers whether he can fire Jerome Powell,' Is it a coincidence, at the very time most Americans are thinking the same about Trump!

Is he not aware that the Fed doesn’t work for him?

The rate increases cost him money he may not have.

Dotard should ask his advisers whether he’s fit for the job. The businessman needs some help to figure out the business of the markets.

Sorry bud you can’t just keep firing people hoping things will get better. Resign Trump!

MAKE IT SO MR PRESIDENT !!!

You're always looking for someone else to blame, aren't you, Spanky?

Tries to fire everyone who disagrees with him on anything. Even though he is wrong 99 percent of the time.

Why not? He's good at firing people, just not good at governing them.

What an ignorant man. He simply has no clue.

Trump is on the verge of a political, economic & psychological breakdown that threatens the stability of the US. It's time all Democrat & Republican members of Congress to unanimously enact the 25th Amdmt and remove Trump from office before he inflicts more harm on the country.

HouseDemocrats HouseGOP SenateDems SenateGOP the last thing the country needs is realDonaldTrump running the Fed. This the man that lost a billion dollars in a Bull Market.

Trump has zero understanding of world affairs. He is a self serving narcissist.

Fire yourself

He is the unstoppable blaming Machine! He is the main cause of instability, he is a wild and ignorant loose cannon!

Market will fall more

Trump is such a smuck. Really. Amazing how having money can give you unearned power. Only in America.

Once again, showing he is no leader, he blames someone else! Pathetic.

How about your resign yourself realDonaldTrump ? The problem is NOT every other person around you. It’s you. Hang it up; go live out your few cholesterol-ridden years at MAL. maybe congress will let you and your crime syndicate family off the hook and the rest of us can breathe.

Politicians controlling the Fed is a VERY bad idea.

He thinks this is 'The Apprentice'. Please Mueller... 🙏

Also a sign that he has literally no idea what his job is.

Trump likes to have other people in his administration fire people who won't do his dirty criminal work and he's gutless to do it himself.

It's always everybody else's fault

Seems like he should have kept Yellen if he wanted to interfere with the Fed. This looks like he has no clue what he is doing since he Hired a guy he knew would raise rates...

I’m not going to try and fix it, no I will simply fire the guy! I won’t face him man to man, no I will tweet it! A very sad pathetic little child President we have

He wants the Fed Chair to do his bidding — lower interest rates so HE doesn’t have to pay more on all his loans. It’s still all about him and his money.

We all wish the Fed chief was gone.

Trump, instead of looking at economic indicators and world wide trends, looks at the Fed Chair as the reason for the stock market collapse. This is why this moronic, science hating, conspiracy numbskull, is pathetic.

Seriously dude? That is your answer? Fire another smart person in the room? How is that working out for you?

If things don’t go his way, fire someone. After all, he knows more about everything than anybody.

Those rate hikes are as detestable as Trump but the FOMC will be here long after POTUS is gone and I’ll be blaming him for the increase of my cost of living. Janet Yellen must be gloating.

time to let the globalist liberal go. He is responsible for losing 1/2 trillion after his raise in interest rates. He hates this country doing better it makes Obama look bad

He should fire the fed chief

Agreed! I am behind you on this one POTUS. We were enjoying a good economy until the FED stepped in.

Because the 'fire everybody' strategy is working so well

Seems to me we didn’t have these issues when Janet Yellen was steering the ship

Yes and replace him with Melania who thinks GDP is a dandruff shampoo

This would all be funny. If it were not so serious. tearsofapresidentclown ImpeachTrump

Fair politics can take credit for the good things and blame others for the bad. putin trump bullshit

Be careful taking too much credit for things you have no direct control over. You’ll also have to take credit when it tanks too. maga🙄 tiredofwinning

It's Trump's fault, so he should fire himself.

Anyone curious why rate increased only ONE time under obama ?

Trump should be charged with manipulation! ballgags TrumpResign 25Amendment

Trump, your actions are causing the market drop. I know who needs to be out of a job. TrumpResign

next would be property values - including trump real estate

He only picks the best people.

Coal in WaPos stocking again this yr

Someone should give him a coles notes course on basic economics.

More fakenews

Why doesn't Trump just fire everyone? Then he can run the whole show all by himself. There's hardly anyone he's hired that pleases him. Then he wouldn't have to fire anyone. I think he's had too much of firing people from his previous tv show.

That’s all he knows how to do. No management or negotiating skills... only what he learned from his tacky tv show. “You’re fired!” Duh, it worked on tv!

My knowledge of the markets comes from my Finance 101 class over 30 years ago and yet I have a better understanding than Individual-1.

He should fire himself! Any board of directors would, if he won't!

He's raising rates, so trumpey owes more to his debtors

another person you appointed you want to fire? only the best people 🤣 TrumpResign TrumpChristmasShutdown

Good thing he did this when the market was closed. I’m sure Don the Con will wreak enough havoc before the next market open to make everyone forget all about this.

It’s you, Trump, you are no good.

Trump's crashed and burned casinos, hotels an airline and selling meats from the trunk of his vehicles. It's disastrous to list to a gypsy on finances is all I have to say. You've been warned.

realDonaldTrump needs to fire himself since he is cause of all his problems.

Look at him giving him the side eye...😈

I don’t think Trump knows how to capitalism

Where's that Trump tweet stating the stock market the greatest ever?

This FAKE News Proof Provided December 12 Q Post 2619 Trump is going to back the dollar with GOLD no more FAKE petrol dollars where money is print of out of thin air The CIA Controlled Washington Post is the ENEMY of the PEOPLE

He should be blaming the trade war & crazy tax reform he did... But starting trickledown 3.0 requires complete and vigorous self-unawareness

Cuz nothing is ever his fault (e.g., the corruption circus happening every day throughout the grifter’s administration).

CyrusToulabi Trump wants to fire everyone in his administration except for his own family. He wants a Trump Regime Dynasty...with the goal of destroying Democracy while establishing an Autocracy. This is a crime family enterprise. Danger has only begun...buckle up, we are going in.

What a Despicable creature Trump is. How does anyone get SO Hateful, Petty and Spiteful?

Investors learn there’s a psycho in charge

How about taking responsibility? When does he learn to criticize self ?

So he can put a YES MAN!! And screw economy more.. got it!

Trump only cares about his own debt payments and image with his base. He doesn’t care at all about the health of the economy or even knows what that is.

Is his answer to just fire everyone in his way? Impetuous. Petulant.

Trump blaming anyone, everyone, anything and everything except where the blame “lies”. Perhaps realDonaldTrump if your administration wasn’t so chaotic, you didn’t start a trade war and tariff war with China and you weren’t a pathological liar, things could be different.

Sure Trumpy, fire away.

Yeah Donny. Fire someone else because of your actions.

He is doing the shark thing

Oh Trumpy. You ain’t seen nothing yet. The disaster you set in motion is so far beyond a Fed chairperson.

He doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the Fed is supposed to be autonomous.

Heaven forbid he considers his erratic behavior, poor decisions, GOP tax scheme, self-service over public good at fault!

Better option get rid of the fed altogether

CyrusToulabi Always someone else’s fault!

Powell has nothing to do with market results ?

He should. Why would the raise the interest rates when the economy is doing good. Then the fed announces that they are going to raise it 3 more times next year.

It seems like he wants to ruin our country

I really think Trump should be put on suicide watch over the holidays.

CyrusToulabi Trump fires a person if he doesn’t like what he hears .

You know genius you hire this guy. So you can fire him but this do not change enything about market. Even going to get worse.

Who are his advisors? Everyone has either quit or been fired? Who is he asking hannity?

He needs to be fired

CyrusToulabi And who is he going to replace him with? Wonder boy Jarred?

Trump should ask advisers where he can fire himself for all the problems he himself caused.

Hey, Donald, see that wall over there? Go bang your head.

Probably more fake news about Trump (for the 1,000,000th time) but he should fire Powell

Maybe stop the shut down and tarriffs?!!

He should

Trump always blames, fires, or drives out other people for his own damn mistakes! The market is crashing because of his trade war and tax cuts, and he was WARNED! When can we finally get rid of this clown?!

Every other day: “Trump asks advisers if he can fire....”. How many people voted for this guy, only knowing “You’re fired!” about him? Sad!

This illegitimate president will probably accomplish this too, leaving another essential ship without a captain...In his sick mind, he KNOWS he can do a better job than Mr. Powell, as with so many who are gone. He's taking this country round the bend & the GOP is letting him.

It's begning wait and see after 2 years the real effect will appear mark my word

trumpisclueless

Cant say I blame him.

Pretty soon all trump would have in the White House is Ivank and Jared. The three would run the country and the weird guy miller.

Wonder what’s going through Greenspan’s mind?

Yeah that’s the problem

No, but since you, Mr. Trump, are the main catalyst for the uncertainty in the markets, your resignation would go a long way toward stabilization.

Fire this guy! Fire that guy! Fire him & her! Fire them!

Who’da thunk that EVERYTHING about running a country was a lot more complicated than half-baked ideas, shit-tweeting, selling jobs to donors, and firing people? EVERYBODY but realDonaldTrump ResignTrump

Okay he won't be able to complain about China manipulating the currency anymore !

Is it just me, or is Cadet Bone-Spurs the most complaining, sniveling, whiniest preznit ever? He complained the fed DID NOT raisie rates under Obama. Now he complains that they DO raise rates. What a miserable human being.

Trump should take the blame for the plunging of the stock market.

Douchebag Don: I'll just fire everyone connected to the mistakes I'l made and just blame it all on them. I am so smart, bigly smart in fact.

He was nominated to the Fed Chair position by Trump, and confirmed by the United States Senate.

The advisors should say to the president, stop the crazy!

Fire him! Put your idiotic son-in-law in there, realDonaldTrump! Keep failing!💙🇺🇸

but it’s not Powell fault, the last 5% down is purely realDonaldTrump fault. why doesn’t he get it? fire yourself and market will rally 10-20% resigntrump trumpresign

Trump doesnt get it. He has no idea who the real players are. All he does is recognize people who are on TV a lot. Scary.

😂😂😂 Firing Powell would definitely not have the effect he thinks it would on markets 😂😂😂

fire them all its the only power he craves can he be fired?

I’m sure there is an realDonaldTrump tweet about the stock market and it being the responsibility of the POTUS... commanderincowardice

During the last few weeks of this Administration, you should bury your gold in your garden and hide your cash in your mattress. It's only going to get more unstable and 10x more weird.

he can fire his own people, he can insult his opponents, he can destroy other people lives, but he cannot control markets. How frustrated he should feel himself

Yeah, fire the Fed Chairman that you hired. That’s the ticket to a more stable stock market.

Fed hikes under President Obama in 8 yrs....ONE Fed hikes under President Trump in 2yrs......SEVEN

Every time the rate goes up, dipshit has to pay more interest on his $340 million or so of debt.

The FED should operate to help USA exclusively and solely. They should not operate in ways to manipulate the political process. All profits from the FED should go to the USA govt.

وشاباك وموساد ويهددون بقتل ترامب ومايك بنس وميلانيا ترامب ومايك بامبيو وجون بولتون وماتيس ودانيال كوتس ووزيرة الامن الداخلي

Let’s recap the past three days: he’s chewed out his acting chief of staff, acting attorney general, fed chairman, and sec of defense (who then resigned).

I think we'd all prefer it if Jerome could fire Donald.

If you take responsibility for the stock market being good, then you must own when it’s bad. It’s not the fed chairman’s fault. It’s the governmental chaos!

Its win win for Trump. Trump gets a huge distraction and he can do what he's done best, blame someone else.

Trump ordered a Cobb Salad & was pissed it didn't come with a corn cobb. He immediately asked if the chef could be executed.

Trump brings chaos. Could this be the prelude to a permanant power grab? He already has millions of people who follow him blindly! He is very dangerous and those behind him who are really in control!

Sure, if there's one thing that will help the markets it's a resignation. Trump's. He's so dumb he doesn't understand he caused the market problems Don't ask him to chew gum while walking.

Maybe we can start a GO FUND page to PAY him to resign.. Seems he only works for money! Michell25356770

Trump's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, does it? He's a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

I hope they've explained to him that firing Powell will only make investors more weary and the markets would plummet further.

Still blaming other people for your mess. Jan 3rd is coming to a theater near you.

He should be looking at the damage the Fed has done rather than shooting the messenger who isn't afraid to do the right thing.

Exasperated over the US president’s stupidity and recklessness, the American people ask whether they can fire this idiot president, a sign of mounting frustration at Trump.

realdonaldtrump because firing the Fed chairman will fix the market, how?

Right. Because firing the Fed chairman would definitely calm down the stock market. Right. Nothing markets like better than unprecedented weirdness.

realDonaldTrump loves to blame others for his own failures.

Let’s fire Trump!

Worst President Ever

Trump is not fit for office.
