0:00.0	Donald Trump was just hit with nightmare news as the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell just went nuclear on him.
0:07.6	The announcement today was Jerome Powell's last address regarding the interest rates and whether they would be cut or not.
0:15.6	The Fed ultimately decided to leave interest rates unchanged, but a statement that came out from the Fed is very telling,
0:23.3	whereas previously the way inflation was described was somewhat elevated. Right now,
0:29.8	inflation is being described as actually elevated. And then when Federal Reserve Chairman
0:35.9	Jerome Powell spoke, he said a number of things demonstrating just how catastrophic Donald Trump has been for the economy, making the dual mandate of the Federal Reserve virtually impossible as Trump has created essentially a stagflation environment.

1:44.7	as a Federal Reserve Governor. But he goes, no, I'm going to stay on. I'm going to do my job
1:49.3	quietly because he fears for the independence of the Fed. And he also knows that if he leaves,
