Trump Debunks Jerome Powell In Surreal Interaction During Fed Tour https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wa...in-surreal-interaction-during-fed-tour-mstef/ A flabbergasted Jerome Powell nearly lost his composure on Thursday after President Donald Trump called him out in front of the Washington, D.C., press corps for sizable cost overruns in the Federal Reserve’s ongoing renovation of its headquarters. Both men had finished completing a tour of the facility when they arrived in front of the cameras for a debriefing. Trump and Powell wore hard hats, and the Federal Reserve chairman appeared at ease — until Trump pulled a surprise cost estimate out from his suit jacket. “We’re taking a look, and it looks like it’s about $3.1 billion,” the president declared, looking to Powell for a reaction, and he didn’t disappoint. Trump kept going. “It went up a little bit. Or a lot,” he smirked as Powell frowned and shook his head.
