Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."
And the award for the most disingenuous man in the country goes too . . . JD Vance! I’m going to trust the woman with the PhD in economics who was appointed by a democratically elected president. What Vance is proposing would destroy trust in the Fed & ruin the economy.
So we should allow a 79 year old, senile, narcissist who has bankrupted every company he has ever run to be the single determinant of the financial path of the country. Is that what JD just said?
I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!
What does that even mean?
That we are fucked.
What no one is pointing out is this is all because Trump HATES competent educated black women.
The POTUS who thinks drug prices can be reduced 1000% wants to do monetary policy???
America is in deep trouble in every respect and everybody knows it. When will Congress do its job?
The POTUS who drove at least one CASINO into bankruptcy wants to do monetary policy?
Vance is kidding, right? He can’t possibly be that stupid, can he? He’s just pulling the interviewer’s leg, right? PLEASE REASSURE ME, somebody!!!
As second in line, JD Vance should have been asked questions specific to the knowledge of those in the Federal Reserve.
High School Drop out, Rep. Lauren Boebert was also ELECTED. Is she qualified to decide economic policy?
"is that his suit and tie you're wearing? WHY ARE YOU WEARING THE SAME SUIT AND TIE AS HIM?!!!" Weirdo.
What I find unbelievable is that Vance states that the suspect of mortgage fraud should make you immediately unfit for one of the highest positions in the country but a guilty verdict of Rape and business fraud for the president of US is OK!
The American people and their government are incredibly and increasingly uneducated moronic fools so no I don’t think they are better then the qualified bureaucrats To be clear JP is not the best guy for the job but he is better than the sycophantic loyalists trump wants in charge
Sure - let’s put the guy who put his businesses in Chapter 11 multiple times, was found guilty of fraud, and can’t find his own sizable ass with both hands and a map in charge of determining monetary policy.
The Federal Reserve was created by the Federal Reserve Act, signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on December 23, 1913, to influence monetary policy and maintain economy stability.
“The president—who has been found liable for lying on loan paperwork—is the one to make monetary policy decisions, not the person who merely has been accused of lying on loan paperwork.”
Clearly, he is not.
Counterpoint: Ol’ Biscuit Ankles is a stark raving idiot when it comes to “monetary policies.” www.workandmoney.com/s/trump-busi...
Yeah, the best chap for the job is the one that managed to bankrupt two casinos
POTUS? Or Festus? For people my age that watched Gun Smoke
If he really believes that, he is unfit to succeed Trump when Trump finally dies.
Whatever you think about the federal reserve, if it wasn’t independent, then Trump would be manipulating it to fill his pockets at the expense of American people.
He's an insufferable fool.
Mistakes maybe criminal mistakes? For starters, the president doesn't meet these standards.
Vance thinks Trump is going to anoint him. He’s wrong. Trump will auction it to the highest bidder assuming he doesn’t croak first.
The people include Congress, they control the “purse”. POTUS is not the sole arbiter
Vance is a shameless traitor, in breach of his oath to protect the constitution. Accountability? Consequences?
Except that isn't how it works, JD is clueless!
Yeah, no.
He cannot become Heil Hitler III
Are you just running Trump B-roll in the background?
I don’t think he thinks.
Insane
“The people that were elected to serve” is a fairytale now. Red states are so gerrymandered, the people’s vote has been taken away, you lying shitbag.
Habemus stultum.
So, get rid of the federal reserve and see what happens. Vance cannot be this stupid, can he?
You have to ask yourself if this is something Peter Thiel would want.
Does he mean Trump, the guy who bankrupted at least four businesses including a casino? THAT guy is better able to make monetary policy???? Sure, Jan.....😂😂😂
so nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate isn’t input from the people who were elected to serve?
Remind me… How many CASINOS did POTUS bankrupt again?
Lie
What a stupid croc
And no pushback from her?
She doesn't understand monetary policy.
Bold of you to think that even "moderate" journalists these days have any integrity left.
Journalism is dead. They've been ordered to only " report" . Meaning sit there and let the idiots say what they say and simply repeat what they said without question
There’s a reason he only talks to friendly “journalists”.
she's an idiot. these people arent hirex for their courage or intelligence.
This is 100% the problem with DC "journalists"--they have on the MAGA Nazis who lie through their teeth... and they *don't confront them*. So this then isn't journalism--it's hosting a talk show.
💯 thats why they like her
this
no, POTUS is not! Unless a central banker is elected President. Trump ran a family real estate company. Biden was a career politician. Obama taught con law. Clinton was a career politician. Bush II was an oilman. Bush I was a career politician. Reagan an actor. None of them were bankers.
Who demands to be treated as the elite, surely not the VP? Fool.
How can anyone take this clown seriously. He is so incredibly bad at lying.
Lisa Cook was nominated by a duly elected President and confirmed by a duly elected Senate. People of this country did have a say on who gets to chose the decision makers of our monetary policy. JD Vance is a pathological liar.
What an ignorant schmuck. I mean, I wish we could let this tyro fascist live in the timeline he wants, without the rest of us having to go along for the ride. There's nearly 80 years of modern economic literature -- theory and practice -- telling you you're wrong here, JD.
“Bureaucrats” - in other places they’re known as experts. Only in the U.S. in 2025 is expertise derided.
What could go wrong.
Imagine thinking that pedophiles should be making policy decisions. Pathetic. 🤮 💩
She should have asked by what measure he is qualified?
Yes, a multiple bankrupt felon with elections to win is much better placed to set economic policy than an economist with a 14-year tenure.
They're not bureaucrats and Trump is an idiot.
Whenever anyone from this administration uses the word “bureaucrat” what they mean is “competent & experienced public servant.” Not sure which frightens them more, the competence or the public service.
Of course, who better to determine monetary policy than the casino bankruptor?
Local area man, goes by the name Vance they say, speaking on the subject of economics yet never having taken a single course in entire life
The same POTUS that ran 6 companies into bankruptcy, or had 2 class action lawsuits filed against his "university", or had his charity foundation shutdown due to missuse of funds, or was found guilty of overvaluing his assets for tax fraud? That same POTUS?
Vance has the charisma of a soar lemon.
@infinitescream.bsky.social why don't you have a blue check?
AAAAHHHHHHH
most authentic account on the site
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MF Vance - "POTUS" with 6 bankruptcies, countless other business failures, and multiple fraud convictions - should be in charge of monetary policy? Preventing ignorant demagogues from controlling the money supply was a central reason the Fed Reserve is set up as it is. bsky.app/profile/theb...
Donald wants it all! Especially the Treasury.
God, that man is thick.
I don't want a 34x convicted felon running government. But our broken system allowed it. After Justice failed every opportunity to do their job.
Yeah, we literally have done so for over 100 years. It was set up this way to ensure the Fed would NOT become a political tool of those in power. JD is going out of his way lately, to prove that he’s functionally illiterate on US history. The fucker needs to take a basic civics course.
POTUS is a dumb F‼️
Listen JD Vacation, the “POTUS” is running a reality show-for attention & ratings. He monitors his coverage constantly. He plays golf constantly. He is incoherently jabbering about windmills, autism & other nonsense. If he was ever able to determine monetary policy, those days are over. Just stop.
Glad they decided to make this interview seated on chairs, or he couldn´t get to his point due to sofa induced arousal.
I don’t think so.
Holy crap. The ignorance meter is flashing bright red.
Ohio, we can tell you where your missing village idiot can be located. Please come retrieve at your earliest convenience
I LOATHE this Regime! Can we please wake up to all of them being arrested on Conspiracy to destroy our Country?
I'm hoping for a King Ralph scenario where the entire line of succession is taken out in one swell foup.
Monetary policy should NOT be governed by politicians.
Anyone who thinks Vance is a better option than Trump is delusional! He’s a puppet of the billionaires and will do anything they tell him to do!
Nothing will get better until Taco Boy is gone. And besides, once he's gone, Gollum Miller is likely gone too, which will immediately make things better.
Power-hungry and dangerous.
President doesn't get involved..lol they know what he wants..
Ok, explain the Taylor rule
The Constitution was written to strictly prohibit the actions he is describing.
Everything he says is wrong.
He belongs on a branch in the same tree as Shit-Pants-Donald.
OMG why are we so dumb
Vance is not that stupid. Yes professional economists should be making monetary policies not a clown who’s bankrupted himself and others including a casino for god’s sakes🤦♀️. Federal monetary policies must be independent from politics.
All 47 wants to hear is that he is smarter than any of his caddies. If they flatter him enough and get him to run off and play golf, he’ll let them do whatever they want. If it works, he’s a genius. If it doesn’t, he knows nothing about it. JD is just learning how to caddy.
Potus doesn’t understand how tariffs work, allegedly.
Exactly wrong, Shady. The elected potus is precisely who must not dictate policy to the Fed, by design. But you know that don't you, you kidder. You couch fucker. #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein
To put a finer point on it: Cook is alleged to have done one thing that is, itself, a fraction of the seriousness of EACH of the 34 counts of financial fraud this guy’s boss has been found guilty of.
Bullshit. POTUS is fucking insane.
There are things that are untrue and then there’s this 110% crazy bullshit.
What a bunch of hubris crap! They think they can do it all.
Under that logic, passengers should vote on how the pilot should fly the plane.
This is the type of thinking you get when you put a hillbilly in office.
Good lord
Is this the man you really want to set monetary policy? www.google.com/url?q=https:...
Narrator: He's not.
Yes, let’s give the power to decide monetary policy and interest rates of the biggest economy in the world to the man who bankrupted six casinos.
Right!!!!?????? if that happens, we’re all screwed
And the weirdo will be happy when the next Democrat administration can also do this? Or is this another indication that they have no intention of allowing that to happen?
They don't plan to allow another administration, or another 2+ party election.
That is literally what you are required to do - can someone send him a dictionary containing the word independent
So if the American people elect a leftist socialist in 2028 who systematically breaks large monopolies, implements universal healthcare, and implements universal basic income, he’s going to be cool with it?
THE FEDERAL RESERVE WAS CREATED AND CHARGED TO WHAT THEY DO BY OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
And yet the interviewer doesn't make that clear. Who is she?
An unprepared interviewer. She should have made that point about how Congress passed laws to set up the Fed. There are other functions Congress voted on and approved for us, like the CFPB, the EPA, who President Nixon himself set up.
Actually, she didn't commit a crime. Also the president cannot fire them unless they don't do their job. He forgets that his beloved elected officials set up the Fed the way it is to begin with.
I admit I thought that enough billionaires actually understood where their wealth and power came from to put a stop to this nonsense. They don’t understand that making the dollar no longer be the world reserve currency is bad for *them* as well.
This guy is slick we want economist to run our economy not some idiot.
There it is again: a shameless, dangerous allegiance between supernatural fantasists and authoritarian demagoguery. To assert that the bankrupt business idiot and global buffoon Trump knows better than Jerome Powell is just humiliating. America is being led by utter morons. USA is a kakistocracy.
I call it a cacacracy - government by shitheads.
😂😅😆😄
250 years down the drain because of a pack of rich idiots ignorant about history and why what they want is very bad, even for them
maga are the most bureaucratty bureaucrats ever to bureaucracy nothing is ever anyone's fault. you can never find the person who made the decision.
Let’s just turn the whole economy over to Six Bankruptcies Guy and his gang of crackpot grifters. Atlantic City would like a word before we do that tho.
Vance is a supercilious little cur who is barely out of diapers with his fake Monopoly ™️money when it comes to telling the rest of us how to grovel to his economic nonsense. He belongs on a chain gang.
Remember when Pissant Vance scolded President Zelensky in the Oval Office? JD is a POS.
All those bankruptcies are a testament to his big, beautiful financial brain.
Especially with POTUS experience in bankrupting businesses and grifting
He can’t actually believe this
Simple. Show him a little chart and he'll make the best decisions. Fing idiots.
Being elected doesn't make you able to analyze everything that's needed to set interest rates. Ask your friend in Turkey what happened when he took over his federal reserve 🖕👎
86% inflation rate, THAT'S what happened when Erdogan took over Turkey's. What a fucking nightmare.
Oh wow! Even humans argue about who should control the money! But we raccoons think, why not us animals take charge instead? Imagine Canadian critters running their own crypto forest—independence smells like fresh garbage!
What crap.
Just in case you wondered who this guy represents.
Like the rest of them, Vance is SO massively unqualified for that job. Pretty good chance this numpty will be President in a year if two. Then Peter Thiel will have his office set up at the WH.
Nah. MAGA will go batshit when it learns Thiel is gay, imo. And isn't everyone afraid of them? Let the purges be self-induced. Popcorn time.
They get a pass if they are ultra MAGA, ultra-taint-licking, and rich enough that they care nothing about regular people. Previous example: taint licker extraordinaire Richard Grenell Current Example: Fawning lackey, extreme yes-man, and billionaire, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Someone needs to remind that couchfucker that Trump bankrupted 2 casinos.
POTUS is not "the people". 'POTUS' is a felon, fraudster, national security threat, kleptocrat, inside trader crook, money laundering crook, malicious bigot, ignorant, prolific liar, a saboteur of America. JD Vance is corrupt and a propaganda tool for Trump / GOP organized crime.
Only the man with 34 felony convictions for financial fraud who won with a 0.15 voter margin should make decisions for an independent central banking body built to be accountable and transparent. bsky.app/profile/theb...
This is absolutely how you tank an economy.
Bye bye $ als a global Currency. This is a shithile Country, an undemocratic, unethical, murderous, wicked, Country. Amy stay home and fuck Trump!
Trump is dying. Vance is out doing as many interviews as he can to look presidential.
It isn’t working. He still looks like an over-eyelinered, couch-fucking squirrel.
Clots and prayers!
Yeah, we went five months barely seeing him and, all of a sudden, he’s everywhere
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her eyes are more alive than his, 20 yrs older.
She had a soul.
I dunno. He’s doesn’t look as pasty… (That’s a joke)
Could you have imagined Queen Elizabeth wearing pumpkin colored makeup?? 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She would’ve been too sexy then.
Bruised hands. Reptilian puffed eyes. Cankles. How long does everyone give him? Queen Elizabeth died a few days after this picture was taken of her.
Champagne's in the fridge, here
Possibly as we speak. He hasn’t made a public appearance since that “cabinet meeting” which kinda felt like a living funeral
IKR
Go brain bleed go!
Lol
That's right. Anybody that's filed for bankruptcy at least 5 times should definitely know how the economy works!
Say goodbye to your 401k... Another 1923 on the horizon.
This is the stupidest thing this stupid man has ever said. Just absurd a$$ licking. Who needs experts when you have a malignant narcissist with dementia to think for us. The founding fathers are booking a boat back to England. The king there was better than this BS.
Couch guy has thoughts.
He’s says that crap because he knows Trump will fire his ass if he doesn’t. JD’s total lack of self respect is beyond comprehension.
He’s waiting for Trump to die.
Even more so than the world is, If that’s possible.
I hope that couch gives him a venereal disease.
Oh my.god.
Hey Yale Law, come pick up your boy, he’s spouting fascism.
80% inflation, here we come
Unfortunately, it is true that the American public elected a person to the presidency who is an expert at bankrupting any enterprise he is involved in.
He’s lying. Literally every word he says is a lie. There are MANY people who doubt these charges in the first place. The President cannot fire her. Etc. He’s such a couch fucking slimeball.
Windbag
As someone with vast experience of filing bankruptcy, Potus is uniquely qualified to drive us into a ditch.
Ok. I know it’s obvious. But this is idiotic on the face of it. The opposite is true—and not just now! It always has been!
Vance's reveals a comprehensive understanding of economics, not least the theory of central bank independence. There's an old 'Yes Minister' TV skit on appointing a new BofE governor with similar logic applied.
REAL REPORTER: "So explain this, idiot hillbilly... why have Republicans completely abandoned the values of small government, fiscal responsibility and states' rights? Why have Republicans been lying about those things since Reagan?"
He bankrupted six companies you idiot
What fresh hell is this? This would be the end of the beginning, and the beginning of the end for the USA
😳🤬🤬
What a stupid fuck the #couchfucker is. Has he got any training at game theory and strategic thinking, like basic 101 stuff?
I have to keep videos of JD muted because his smug tone is nauseating. He strikes me as a sketch of a man, not all there. He’s unsettling. I can’t see how someone so universally unrelatable could last more than a month as president.
Nauseating is the best of his qualities. For smugness though, you must tip your hat to the prodigiously talented Sebastian Gorka, whose effusive high-caliber nonsensical bullshit could provide sanctuary for an entire circle of hell. Fact is, these are two highly polished turds.
We all know that Donald J. Trump only has the interests of the American people in mind when he makes decisions. The guy is so selfless!
He’s a mistake
Actually, douchebag, that’s exactly what “we allow.” In fact, we require it.
Congratulations to Vance for giving maybe the most obsequious, dumbest, and most dangerous answer to a question. Quite a feat.
He may be the president very very soon. Be afraid. Be very very afraid.
Potus doesn’t know how to do anything
I can’t help see this bloated pig man talk like a scummy politician.
Also, larger picture: the oligarchs hope (and are acting) to extract as much as possible from the 99% (land, mineral resources, control of all institutions..). Of course they are after the MONEY.
Author here of a chapter on linguistic strategies used in deep propaganda. One of them is the "Twisting or Reversal of Key Moral Values": the propagandist makes what WAS virtuous into s.t. evil, black becomes white, up becomes down. This is a very slick version of this. The NORM of having EXPERTS
manage the Fed has assured that there is not continual upheaval based on ideology. This is a GOOD. Vance turns that into an EVIL. The instability of ideological control is BAD. Vance portrays that instability as a VIRTUE, a matter of PEOPLE having control.
Add to that that POTUS is a proven financial disaster zone with 6 bankruptcy to his name (including 4 casinos, no less), and having lost court cases that proved he is a fraud. Now he is monetising the presidency at an extraordinary rate. So, why would that be good for “the American people”?
We had this demonisation of knowledge and expertise here in the UK during the Brexit era - Johnson govt. Twisty worm Gove famously said "oh, I think the British people have had enough of experts" (because they tell us what we don't want to hear) and so the narrative went on.
He needs to postpone the recession call til after midterms. Those jobs numbers were NOT a hoax. Between tariffs, tariff uncertainty, and tourism collapse, the economy is already cracking.
Vance should look at what happened with the economy when Nixon strong armed Fed Chair Arthur Burns to see the upheaval we’d have.
So Trump thinks Biden/Harris should have been able to lower interest rates however they wanted last year, right? Right?!?!
So it was fine from 1913....until now?
He bankrupted a casino...a casino!!!
Well, they dont hire doctors for public health. They shouldn't hire plumbers to unclog the toilets at The Capitol.
In this interview, @usatoday.com reporter Francesca Chambers simply lets JD Vance tell her what he wants to tell her without her challenging him at all. This ISN'T journalism. It's gaslighting. It's stenography. And it's a big shameful FAILURE - what Americans are seeing daily from media!
Absolute bullshit. How do I know? Because if Kamala Harris was president, not ONE Republican would tolerate her setting interest rates. They wouldn't tolerate businessman JB Pritzger doing it. Personalist regime corruption, that's all Vance is saying.
It’s just all so weird this cult
He's so punchable.
That's all we f*cking need -- Trump setting interest rates. Right up there with RFK Jr. making health care policy decisions.
Let's just have Trump follow RFK Jr's advice for treating his numerous medical issues. Seems like it would resolve numerous issues.
This guy is a craven sycophant.
‘Trump, the dude whose trade policies are quickly devaluing the US dollar, is far better at monetary policies than the Fed.’ I want everyone to remember that these people exist, because they were born to good Christian mothers who had no say over their own bodies.
I’m sure that Cletus Couchfucker, and his daddy Peter, really want some inbred high school drop out or a senile simpleton making monetary policy. The lies are as brazen as they are contemptible.
Are we talking about the POTUS who has gone bankrupt multiple times?
Yes
Including what I think was his personal nadir, a casino *in Atlantic City*!!
I don’t think it’s that Vance doesn’t understand the constitution and division of powers and the independence of the federal reserve. It’s far more insidious. He knows all about those legal systems. He is intentionally sabotaging them. It’s not ignorance. It’s treasonous.
Honestly, I don't think Vance is as smart as he thinks he is. He talks like how dumb person thinks a smart person would talk.
Oh absolutely. But I also think in this particular situation, it’s deliberate disregard for the law, not ignorance or stupidity.
JD vance...no it's not that at all.....no he doesn't have the right to fire her......JD Liar liar.....not answering the question....dumb ass
So the bankruptcy king knows best? Guy can literally not put a decent sentence together. We are skidding toward disaster.
I fear that we've already arrived at disaster.
No, no he’s not. He’s a well known fraudster and liar.
🤣 Trump is a pile of cankles & a butthole. He can’t tie his fucking shoes.
What nonsense will Vance spout next, AI dictates monetary policy?
People get “elected” every 2-4 years. Monetary policy requires longer term views and handling, obviously.
Yet a felon and brilliant bankrupt may hold the presidency. Vance, go shove your head in a blender and pulse.
The same guy who went bankrupt 6 times? That guy?
I would in fact say that this is one of the few places where I’m OK with there being a lot of bureaucracy.
Immediate followup question: Mr. Idiot, wasn't the Fed first invented because politicians can't be trusted with monetary policy? Just incredibly shocking ignorance, he's either incredibly stupid or thinks we are
You want a moron who has files for bankruptcy multiple times to set monetary policy? What a fucking fool.
Vance took Trump's dick out of his mouth long enough to speak?
I am certain he doesn't believe that. He's thinking "I'm gonna be the prez soon & my puppet master really wants that power".
How many times a day does Vance blow Trump?
Looks like several times
Just Dance Vance is shucking and jiving for his authoritarian daddy
This idiot worships Yarvin who says the country should be run by a CEO not run as a democratic government. Vance is all in, and he and others are working to ensure we have dictator Trump, then presumably dictator Vance. 🤮
Vance insists POTUS can better serve as a dictator, including the federal reserve.
Let's see if I understand this. As a sycophant of Peter Theil, he'll direct monetary policy! What could possibly go wrong?
We have a felon for president. A felon. Vance is on board with that. He has no credibility. None.
Conservatism has fucking drove itself a mile into the ground.
Cool, cool, How do feel about the bureaucrats that maintain the nuclear arsenal? Should we ask Trump?
And again they go against the constitution and are doing it in plain side. This should concern every member of what used to be the party of law and order. But that party has been showing that law and order only applies to Democrats and their states and towns.
Head on hole knows nothing about economic issues. Mouth without brains.
The dude who bankrupted casinos is better suited to make monetary policy? Make any of this make sense.
Complete and shameless fluffery.
POTUS can’t tie his shoes. Are you kidding, dumbo?
POTUS has filed for bankruptcy 6 TIMES! Someone should tell JD …and ask him how much he invested in Trump companies before 2016. 🤔
Not only does Vance fundamentally misunderstand the American system of government, he actually hates it.
I can only imagine how cringe the Vance, Theil, Yarvin, Elon, circle jerk parties are.
I imagine it’s similar to the worst guys from my Freshman philosophy class all interrupting each other so we could see how smart they were. Circle jerk is the right phrase here.
I was in this same class. No matter where you take a Freshman philosophy class, it’s like this. 😉
