By Damian Paletta Damian Paletta Reporter covering economic policy Email Bio Follow May 3 at 4:43 PM White House officials are plotting their next move to fill the Federal Reserve’s board of governors after President Trump’s previous two picks failed to get needed GOP support, but they have not reached a final decision on whom to nominate.
But another person familiar with the discussion said the former staffer was not being seriously considered. All three people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations. There are two open seats on the Fed’s seven-member Board of Governors. Trump said he wanted to nominate two political loyalists — business executive Herman Cain and conservative commentator Stephen Moore — to fill the slots, but both were met with a wave of opposition from GOP lawmakers before the paperwork was even complete.
Well, at least Trump found a real economist. Let's see how he does during confirmation. However, Happy the F'ing Clown is still available for Trump to nominate as well. That would be predictable.
Pardon Bernard Madoff and you have a true Trumpanzee to ruin the Federal Reserve!
Imelda Marcos? Charles Ponzi is dead so he is out! Old “We don’t pay taxes, taxes are for little people” Leona Helmsley (The Queen of Mean)is dead, a felon and in hell so she is out? Damn the Orange menace is scraping the bottom of the cesspool for nominees he can control!
Scraping under the barrel now!
At least he has an economic background. Unlike most of his nominees who gen have degrees totally unrelated to what he's appointing them to. Li ke the dj he nominated to USDA.
MAGA✌️🇺🇸✌️
And if not Paul, maybe Sarah Sanders would be willing. All bad apples make for a bushel of bad apples and they are rotten to the core.
there’s a team?
Is he loyal & can make trump feel good? Is he qualified? Oops, forgot trump rules, never mind 2nd question.
Melania...nominate her, I can’t wait for the hearings
Let’s now find out what type of criminal he wants to foist on us now?
Voters won’t forget what the Democrats are doing to this administration.
They’re running out of names. Good lord. Incompetency at a high level.

You bought the 'withdraws' narrative? Really?
Two things of note - Paul Winfree took a job at The Heritage Foundation, and he served under the ranking Republican member of the Senate Budget Committee, Senator Jeff Sessions.
Funny thing about Moore is he told us the economy would see new lights with deregulation and tax reform...WaPo laughed and made fun of him. Now we have a booming economy for all and where is the apology from Post?
