Donald Trump hoped to make a production in the Federal Reserve by visiting the construction site with chairman Jerome Powell. There was only one big problem. Donald Trump is not smart, and this soon became clear when the crowbone president in the reality TV mode slipped and tried to confront Powell about the costs of the project.

Trump said: “Look and, uh. It seems that it is around 3.1 billion. It went up a bit or a lot. Uh, so the 2.7 is now 3.1.”
Powell answers: “I am not aware of that.”
Trump: “Yes, it just came out. Yes.”
Powell, “I’ve never heard that from anyone.”
Trump in the full BS mode, “The Fed, it just came out.”
Sen. Tim Scott Chirps in: “Our notes also had around 3.1. 3.31, 3.2.”
Powell looks at a piece of paper that Trump handed him and asks: “This came from us?”
Trump, while the schedule is starting to crumble, sticks to the story: “Yes. I don’t know who does that.”
Powell takes a look and says: “Do you take the Martin renovation that you have just added? That is up to the entire capital. You have just added to the third building what that is. That is a third building. Including …”
