Trump APPOINTED "bad chairman" Powell, blames Biden for "extending" him. Hey, is there any way we can blame Obama too?

as all trump appointees MUST be fired and eventually held accountable for the destruction of their agencies.

i like that powell is standing up to this jerk, but if inflation is the issue that returned trump to power the fed bears some blame.
