Trump is trying to gain control of the Fed by firing Lisa Cook for alleged mistakes on LOAN APPLICATIONS. Trump himself HAS BEEN FOUND BY A COURT TO HAVE COMMITTED MULTIPLE MASSIVE ACTS OF FRAUD ON LOAN APPLICATIONS which must by his logic mean that he cannot perform as an effective President.

No, he doesn’t. He illegally attempts to fire her—which is both accurate and not what you wrote and asserted.

If it's a "legally dubious" move, then Trump clearly doesn't have the authority to fire her and thus she has not been fired, you hacks.

BANG... ... another nail driven into the coffin holding the United States of America. This is exactly how history plays out when the fascists are left unchallenged by supporters whose usual rules of reasoned thinking have been dumped. 'She deserved it' but the convicted fraudster did not?

He has as much of a right to fire her as I do to fire him. I hope she shows up for work tomorrow and rightfully tells him to eat shit.

Trump writes letter to say is is doing something. Trump has NO legal authority to take that action. Press believes Trump and repeats him like a parrot, without noting that Trump cannot legally take that action. Rinse, repeat. 🦜
