Anyone else would have long been fired by Trump for speaking against his agenda. Powell is fairly bulletproof as Trump’s advisors are likely holding him back by explaining, as in ELI5 explaining, that firing Powell would shock financial markets and Trump would get the blame.
I SO love Trump’s tweets seething over this motherfucker.
