BREAKING:  Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell just defiantly told a reporter that If Trump tries to fire him, he can't.

Powell is right.  

Reporter: Do you believe the president has the power to fire or demote you?  

Powell: Not permitted under the law. NOT PERMITTED UNDE THE LAW.

Remember when Trump wanted negative interest rates?
