People Are Calling Trump A “Special Kind Of Stupid” After He Blamed Biden For His Own Actions

“I was surprised he was appointed,” Trump said. “Surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him.” 

But President Joe Biden didn’t “put him in.” 

Trump nominated Powell as Fed chair in 2017, praising him at the time for his “steady leadership, sound judgment, and policy expertise.” Biden renominated Powell for a second term in 2021. In both cases, Powell was confirmed by the Senate with widespread bipartisan support.
