Appointment of Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair
Janet Yellen’s term as chair of the Federal Reserve finished in February 2018. At the time, Trump refused to reappoint her, because he believed she was too short for the job. Jerome Powell, Trump’s appointee, met the president’s aesthetic wishes.
Powell also managed to prove a great appointment right in time for the pandemic-caused economic crisis of 2020. Monetary policy was the one that had to do most of the lifting, and Powell was there as an equal to the lift.

You didn’t mention the over a million deaths from Covid following his longstanding ignorance and attempted deception. Nor did you comment on his flagrant attempt to destroy our democracy by inciting a coup. His criminal use of the office, his racism, his authoritarian and self-serving policies, will impact for generations.
What planet did you live on while Trump was President!
Trump was not racist! This was pushed by the MSM.
I know I could fill up my gas tank for a lot less than under Biden!
Groceries were a lot cheaper! Crime was not at an all time high!
No pay back for free loaders! China was under control as well at Iran.
World just a safer place! His biggest fault with
Covid was listening to the idiot Fauci!
Our country will never be the same after Biden!
Hope you enjoy rice!
More overhyped Demo propaganda. Shut up Larry. Tired of hearing it. The real truth is much more complicated and you know it.
Larry you are a complete koolaid drinking, tin foil hat MSM idiot. You are so ignorant about the truth. Your kind are so sorry
No, no, no, Larry.
Trump’s leadership fighting Covid19 enabled millions of children and grandchildren to receive inheritances from their parents and grandparents earlier than they expected. But do these inheritors express gratitude to Trump for enabling that to happen? NO, most all of them say they’d rather their relatives were still alive, rather than have inherited their wealth. That’s incomprehensible to Trump. He has always chosen wealth for himself over health for his immediate family. That’s proven out by how he treated his brother Fred trump junior. When Fred Trump junior was last hospitalized for diseases consequent to his alcoholism, Donald directed the Trump organization NOT to pay junior’s health insurance premiums. Also, the Trump organization did not pay any of his hospital bills, and did not pay for his funeral. .
No, no, no, Larry.

This is a click bait site just trying to get readers. Anything the former guy may have done right is completely negated by the things you mention and more. His record on the environment, his tax breaks for the mega wealthy, separating children from parents, the lost goes on and on.
Not to mention his hatred of the military and the family’s he admonished like Sen McCain
And Gold Star Family
I assume they did not mention it because it is hogwash. What they did not mention was operation warp speed that got you a vaccine.
Clueless, you are.
Larry, your ignorance stinks to high heaven.
I, also, noted they didn’t mention any of the sheer criminal grifting he has done! Only a filthy repug could have written this sham of an article…
Just a FACT more people died of Covid under Biden after Trump got the vaccine put through in under a year when it usually takes much longer. He also got ventilators made quickly by getting a producer to switch their production line by to ventilators. He got medical ships to the heaviest hit area of NY and another was ready. You have tunnel vision – can’t see anything good , If he had not pushed through the vaccine, Biden would still be fumbling around instead of taking credit for getting the vaccine in production. Let’s face it the man has something cognitive going on, maybe dementia, I don’t know and you don’t want to admit it. And Kamilla has done NOTHING but cackle over things that are not funny.
To the comments of what wasn’t mentioned. Even if he did those things. I am not saying he did! Just if then shall we not compare those things to Biden. Behind our backs, or in the name of whatever he chooses to call it. He has been running Americans like a little Hitler. He turns races against each other. He has single handedly brought more illegal drugs into this country, through his open borders. Caused the deaths of countless immigrants, caused the deaths of the recipients of his illegal drugs. Insist we get vaccinated while allowing millions of illegals in with all sorts of diseases. Breaking America financially with his endless spending. Then his stupid electric cars. Common sense says if you have rolling blackouts because people are running too many air conditioners, just add electric cars to that mix & see how overburdened the grid is then. I do not hate the man. That would promote his agenda. I do however clearly see how he consistently risks American lives with his agenda. What’s going to happen when all these illegals overburden our hospitals, our food supplies, our job market. God help us all!
COVID was never a real threat. Trump did nothing Illegal. Trumps was for the people unlike DemonRats who want to depopulate and rule the world. Treating people as slaves and disposable.
Your article is a one sided belligerent attack on Trump! First off, he was incremental in lower the inflation (it was freaking disaster under Obama). His unemployment for blacks and Hispanics lowered more than it was decades. Your one sided attacks on a President is absolutely insane! You also didn’t mention the fact that he donates his salary for 4 years and lost even more money by not being able to run the country. Biden is a sh*t shore and has been since being VP. He had a team of seals killed because he wanted everyone to know that he was in the know. He also got more people killed in his stupid ass plan to leave Afghanistan. Not to mention the millions of dollars of dollars and technology that he left behind and the millions of dollars of equipment left behind when he was Vice President to your glorified Obama era. Your story is a at best. I’m not arguing your points, but rather telling you that you’re not telling the full story here. You should be ashamed of yourself by picking trump to write about when the democrats have been after him from day one. He’s the most hated man in America for doing the best he could for the American people and didn’t get paid for it. Why don’t you grade the other presidents and their failures as well instead of delivering backhand complements to a man who did his best without ever taking a salary. What did Hunter Biden do while his daddy was VP? Let that sink in. While your hate for trump was clearly seen, I bet you wouldn’t do an article about Obama and Biden and their failures! Freaking jerk! Quit being so da*m bias in your reporting. Jerk!
The Vaping companies/industry didn’t contribute enough to his campaign and phony foundations!!
Worst President ever, Lock him up? Treasonous traitor inciting riots against fellow Americans. Make him pay for the wood to string him up and make an example to those who betray America
You failed to mention he met with the little, corrupt, Korean dictator and for four years he kept the little rocket man from pursuing his nuclear dreams. You also failed to mention that he did NOT get us into “useless” wars and thereby prevented the deaths of our young, brave military members, my three nephews included. Did you forget that he was also “friendly” with Putin and Putin, knowing that he could not compete with Trump in a battle of wits, did not invade any countries during Trump’s term. Was Trump crude and brash at times? Probably, but that is what was needed to battle the “Gang of 535”, who keep their seats warm in Congress for decades and get nothing done except enrich themselves. I did disagree with him calling Washington the “swamp”. A better adjective would be, cesspool or latrine.
Trump’s presidential term was a disaster for this country. He is the worst president that this country has ever had.
Totally agree with Larry, above. RUMP was only interested in his agenda and could not care less for the American people.
My God! Finally see a comple list of his accomplishments. I’ve ask that question ever since he became In the spotlight.

I have always wonder just how much he really did that Pres. Biden had to manage when he received his Presidential jobs. Now I know, plus I quite sure there’s more!
Congrats Larry for repeating liberal talking points… more have died under Biden, there was never a coup; rather it was a bunch of uneducated loyalists who thought, based on the BLM protests (riots), they could get away with the same actions. Millions of Americans have benefited with what you call Trump’s authoritarian leadership. How many generations will suffer from all the Biden give-aways?
Donald Trump was, and remain6s the biggest threat to American democracy. There is sufficient evidence that he conspired with Putin to win the 2016 election. He should be in prison for life for treason.
this was an article about the things that he did right. Let’s be positive today…..
How about criminal justice reform? (first step act). He is the first President in modern times to do something like that. Biden and Harris are responsible for earlier in their political careers to help enable the “lock em up and throw away the key” mandates we have now.
The first honest “non” politician, I hope he gets back in.
The American Disabilities Act originated in 1990-long before Trump became president. What Trump did, was to amend that law, redefining what is considered “disabled”.
It’s debatable whether the changes are for the better or the worse. And of course this is what we are getting now from some people—basically “alternate Facts” as Kellyanne used to call it ! PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING ELSE……..
This sounds like a left wing propaganda article. Trump lifted up our USA while the entire Washington swamp and media trying to destroy him..
Your slanted article forgot President Trump’s greatest achievement, he prevented Hillary Clinton from Becoming President of these great United States of America!!
Peculiar that “The Captain” with the logo of the US Capitol at the top of it’s webpage has their offices in Bucharest, Romania. Perhaps you should get your own house in order instead of dabbling in American politics. Red might not always agree with Blue but I will ALWAYS defend my fellow Blue Americans right to speak their mind.
wake up Larry..your dreaming things up outloud..lol
Larry you tell it like it is. And as days and weeks pass we find more and more evidence of what a corrupt individual he is Trump only has one person on his mind and that’s himself.
Are you Trump-haters satisfied with the way things are now?
