President Trump just delivered a knockout punch to the swamp by firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Cook became the first black woman on the Fed board when Biden appointed her in 2022. Now she’s facing serious allegations of mortgage fraud that should concern every American.
Biden didn’t pick Cook because she was the best person for the job. He picked her because she checked the right diversity boxes for the radical left. Her confirmation squeaked through the Senate with just 50 votes plus Kamala Harris breaking the tie.
The charges against Cook are no joke. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte has accused her of committing mortgage fraud. These are the kind of serious criminal allegations that should disqualify anyone from controlling America’s money supply.
Instead of doing the right thing and stepping down, Cook is digging in her heels. She claims Trump has no power to fire her and plans to sue to keep her job. This kind of arrogance is exactly what’s wrong with Washington elites who think they’re above the law.
This mess shows just how badly Biden failed America during his time in office. He put unqualified leftists in positions of power while ignoring merit and competence. The American people are now paying the price for his reckless appointment decisions.
Trump is doing what he promised – draining the swamp and putting America first. He’s not afraid to take on the establishment and remove people who don’t belong in positions of trust. This is exactly the kind of bold leadership our country needs.
The Federal Reserve controls interest rates that affect every American family. We need people with proven track records and clean backgrounds, not diversity hires with questionable pasts. The stakes are too high for political correctness to trump competence.
This firing sends a clear message that the Trump administration won’t tolerate corruption or incompetence. While the left screams about politics, real Americans know this is about accountability and putting qualified people in charge of our economy.
