Damn, that did happen. https://apnews.com/article/federal-reserve-miran-trump-70a09bdf2e10839f35e1596cafe5c415
No it didn't, this was for "Adriana Kugler"'s seat.
Heading to SCOTUS? Gorsuch & Kavanaugh have been drooling for the right moment to declare independent agencies unconstitutional, let alone Thomas and Alito. That’s 4 votes right there.
Yep, straight to SCOTUS.
The thing that makes the outcome suspenseful is that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have been signalling "but not the Fed" when they're attacking agency independence. Probably because they have stock portfolios.
So it seems like they may try to carve some distinction that saves the Fed from the same fate as the FTC, CFPB, NRLB, and merit protection board. It's not at all clear what's that might be.
Fire her, don't fire her, but the writing's on the wall at this point. This decision doesn't change that the trust in the US dollar has been severely injured by the administration. The world is rotating out of the dollar and into other holdings to hedge against madness such as politically-motivated firings at the Federal Reserve.
We should not have reached this point. It is insanity.
It's part of trump's twisted plan. Devalue the dollar so it's easier to sell and export stuff so you bring manufacturing back, and this bring back that golden age.
That it was only golden because the rest of the world didn't have manufacturing yet or it was blown up in the war is not taken into account. That it might lead to sweatshop like conditions this time around is not his problem.
The list of legal things Trump has done this presidency might be shorter.
