Trump Does It Again: Trump will nominate former campaign adviser Stephen Moore to Federal Reserve

Washington (CNN Business)President Donald Trump said Friday he plans to nominate his former campaign adviser, Stephen Moore, to the Federal Reserve Board.

"It is my pleasure to announce that @StephenMoore, a very respected Economist, will be nominated to serve on the Fed Board. I have known Steve for a long time -- and have no doubt that he will be an outstanding choice!" Trump tweeted. Moore, 59, is the author of "Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy" and a former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. He was also formerly a CNN contributor. A CNN spokeswoman confirmed that Moore is no longer a contributor, but did not comment on when the relationship ended. The pending nomination was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Trump may put @StephenMoore on @federalreserve, @bpolitics reports.

Moore is lazy, incompetent, dishonest hack. I've wiped floor w/Moore in public debate & on TV.

Moore doesn't know economics, makes up "facts," doesn't admit errors -- just like @realDonaldTrump.

It only gets worse. At this point, the only people left, who will deal with trump, are the hacks and who won't challenge him.

Thumbs down from Morgan Fairchild.

I though Paul Krugman was a hack.

The Freepers love this guy. Trump is basically governing like some moron who posts there. These old fucks must be wetting themselves with glee. They never thought they’d get someone like him in the White House.
