Trump vs Fed: The Plot to Fire Lisa Gets Judge-Approved Drama
In whatâs shaping up as 'Who Wants to Control The Fed?' starring Donald J. Trump, the former boss decided firing Lisa Cook, a Fed board member whose name suddenly means 'target,' wasnât dramatic enough until it hit a federal courtroom. Weâre now on episode 'Judge, Please Step In,' because apparently after downing six seasons of chaos, Trump thinks his powers include Fed staff firing rights. No $10 million bribes or magic wands, just good ol' legal wranglingâplus blunt attempts to bend Americaâs economic steering wheel. This isnât just boardroom bickering; itâs President-level 'Can I speak to your manager?' for the Federal Reserve. The plot twist? Judges have to decide if Fed independence means shooing off plaintiffs or a Trump tweetstorm of judicial proportions.
