Knew better than anybody what's good for the market
“Nobody had to explain that to me. I know better than anybody what's good for the Market, and what's good for the U.S.A. If it weren't for me, the Market wouldn't be at Record Highs right now, it probably would have CRASHED!”

What the record showed
The post disputed a Wall Street Journal report that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had explained to him that firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell would be bad for the market. He did not fire Powell; four days later he toured the Fed's headquarters with Powell to dispute renovation costs. Powell's successor, Kevin Warsh, was sworn in as Fed chair on May 22, 2026.
