"He went on an unrelated tangent about his summer vacation plans earlier this month when he was asked a very basic question about how long detainees would be kept in the Alligator Alcatraz detention camp, and famously confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley up at a campaign event last year.

That can be addicting.

Just like Trump speaking at a Trump rally.

Der Dotard knows and remembers who appointed Jay Powell. He just cannot own up to hiring only the best people, who turn against him or do not bend to his will. The comment made was for his shrinking base of followers ...
