This is just too good! Trump tries to have a gotcha moment at Powell's expense, and then Powell turns it around and lands a smackdown on Trump and makes him look like the utter moron he really is!

Oh that's embarrassing.

Trump's so used to being surrounded by sycophantic yes-men that he genuinely believes this sort of shameless dishonesty will hold up outside his carefully curated echo chamber.

Absolutely hilarious, if it weren't so pathetically transparent.

It’s still absolutely smacking hilarious!!! 😆

I particularly liked the bit where Trump tried to wrongly inflate the cost by adding in a different building to the renovations. When that didn't work, he said it's part of the overall cost. But that didn't work either because Powell told him it was already built - five years ago!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh, that was wonderful   ;D

"It's a building that's being built"

"No, it was built five years ago"

Love it   :)

Anyone else notice the smoke from trumps ears? :D :D :D

Gotta love Jerome Powell - he acted so cool   8-)

Trump will definitely be looking for ways to sack him now, even though he can't.

He had a similar look when Dr Fauci listened to Trump talk about COVID.  ;D

And this, from a few days ago:

"But mostly, we'll be charging straight tariffs to most of the rest of the world because we have over 200 countries. People don't realize, that's a lot of deals."

People don't realise, that's a lot of bullshit.

How can there be a world leader who doesn't know how many countries there are in the world - seriously?
