Is he a big boy now?
From Twitter/X:

Heh. There are seven people on the Federal Reserve Board. They are all highly experienced and have a clear understanding of monetary policy. And, they use lots of data to make their decisions. It has not been shown that the current President has any understanding of federal government and monetary policy, and he doesn't like valid data. Let the market decide???? Hah. There is no reasonable response to that comment.

Wow! Guess he'll buy you a beer. Just kidding.
