Irony's Dead UPDATE: Trump decides someone being "very incompetent" is just cause for suing them.

Trump says he'll 'probably' sue Fed chair Jerome Powell: 'A very incompetent man'

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-powell-2674835689/

"Biden reappointed him, and it's too bad," the president said. "But he's an absolute fool who's building a new Federal Reserve, or he's doing a renovation of a building. Maybe he's up to $4.1 billion to do a renovation of a few very small buildings. It's the highest price in the history of construction."

Trump bragged that he was building a ballroom at the White House at a lower cost.

"We're thinking about bringing a suit against Powell for incompetence," he noted. "These are small buildings. He said four billion more, it's going to end up costing more than four billion dollars. Four billion. It's the highest price of construction."

"So we're thinking about bringing a gross incompetence, what's called gross incompetence lawsuit. It's gross incompetence against Powell," he added. "And it was his baby. And the guy's just incompetent. There's nothing you can do about it. He's just a very incompetent man. But we're going to probably bring a lawsuit against him."

Because when I looked up the term “incompetent” in the dictionary, the definition was “Donald J. Trump”
