Trump vs. Fed: The Mortgage Fraud Saga That’s Got Everyone 😱

by

So, the Fed governor and Trump are basically in a cage match now. 🥊 Who’s got the popcorn? 🍿

In a shocking turn of events (well, not that shocking if you’ve been keeping up with this circus 🎪), the Supreme Court decided to spice up our lives by scheduling a January 21, 2026, showdown between Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook. Why? Because Trump apparently has nothing better to do than try to fire people. 🤷‍♂️ Check out the update if you’re into legal drama.

Apparently, this whole mess started because Trump couldn’t get Jerome Powell to lower interest rates. So, what does he do? He goes after Cook, because why not? 🧐 The theory is that Trump’s like, “If I can’t control the Fed Chair, I’ll just take down a governor instead.” Genius. 🤦‍♂️

But wait, it gets better! Back in 2021, Cook allegedly listed two different properties as her “primary residence” on loan applications. She says it was a mistake, but Trump’s like, “Mortgage fraud! Fire her!” 🔥 A district judge was like, “Nah, Trump, chill,” but he took it to the Supreme Court because, you know, he loves a good fight. 🤼‍♂️

Loretta Mester, former Cleveland Fed President, is not having it. She said in a interview, “If Trump gets his way, the Fed’s independence is toast. 🍞” Cook’s lawyers agree, saying Trump’s basically trying to turn the Fed into his personal puppet show. 🎭
