President Trump was in his construction element at the Federal Reserve today, touring the site of the controversial, purportedly Taj-Mahal-like renovations the Fed Chair has been overseeing. The wispy, bespectacled Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, looks like he shrank three sizes today.
President Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made an awkward pair Thursday as they toured a grossly over-budget renovation of the central bank’s headquarters near the White House.
This is so much Alpha male and Cringe Dog…JEEZ. It’s painful, and I don’t even like the guy. And he did kinda bring it on himself.
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is visiting the Federal Reserve THURSDAY to check on Jerome Powell’s $2.5 BILLION “renovations” to the building
Powell attempted to BLOCK White House staff from visiting, so Trump decided he was PERSONALLY going.
Powell’s in some deep sh*t! 🤣🔥 pic.twitter.com/VoKM36lWxK

There’s not a lot for me to write about here, honestly. It’s that gruesome a masterclass in public disembowelment (Schmaybe even disemPowellment?).
You simply have to watch Trump go to work like a raptor. You can see Powell turn puce green and look like he wants to puke in some of these shots.
Nope. He’s on his own.
Get the man some smelling salts.
This is one of those moments when the husband has the receipts for the spending, if you get my drift.

One of Vizzini’s Rules: Never go in against Trump when construction is on the line.
This answer to a reporter was classic Trump delivery after the perfect set-up.
Reporter: “As a real estate developer, what would you do with a project manager who would be over budget?”

You know Powell was wishing the dang safety helmet could swallow him.
HAHAHAHAHA
And ‘Too Late’ Powell’s soul just shriveled…
Absolutely incredible…

The man is in his element, and there is no denying it.
🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE: “It feels very good to be back on a construction site!”
Jerome Powell has notably LEFT after being publicly humiliated to his face by President Trump 🤣
Trump is still SLAMMING Powell, telling him
To lower interest rates NOW. pic.twitter.com/7QNqTzWMbS— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) July 24, 2025
Trump says, ‘No pressure’ on Powell to resign as he leaves.
Reporter:”Is this meant to put pressure on Jerome Powell to resign?”
President @realDonaldTrump:”No, there’s no pressure… I think he’s going to do the right thing. Everybody knows what the right thing is. Even people that believed in the higher rates — they all want to see the… pic.twitter.com/yaNDRityI3

But he does make the point that every interest point translates to costing the United States major money.
HOLY SMOKES: Trump says every interest rate point Jerome Powell refuses to cut is costing the U.S. $365 BILLION.
Insanity.
After touring the Federal Reserve and the ongoing construction in D.C., President Trump dropped cold, hard facts about the Fed.

And when he got back to the White House, President Trump dropped a very civil Truth Social note, publicly castrating the Fed Chair one last time for good measure, but so smoothly I don’t think Powell’ll feel a thing.
BREAKING 🚨 After meeting with Jerome Powell at the Federal Reserve, he has one message for him:
– Finish the renovation
– CUT THE RATES
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH DONALD TRUMP pic.twitter.com/sMMLjLdxZW

Besides, I doubt Jerome’s knees are done shaking already. He’s probably still in the unisex bathroom.
I can’t wait to hear the ‘Powell howling’ from the media. It should be epic.
Damn near every day of this presidency has been extraordinary in some way or another, and this is sure at the top of the list.
Holy smokes.
